It’s dinnertime and, yet again, you’re behind. The kids are cranky, the fridge is empty, the kitchen is a mess. Sound familiar?

And once they realized that freezer meals could be made even easier with the hands-free magic of the pressure cooker, Instant Pot, or a slow cooker, dinnertime drama became a thing of the past.

You’ll learn how to prep and freeze bright, flavorful food so that you’re never more than a few minutes away from a hot, homemade meal.

About the Author

Polly Conner and Rachel Tiemeyer are the founders of Thriving Home, a down-to-earth lifestyle blog they began in 2012 as a way to encourage and equip other parents in the day-to-day challenges of raising a family. Thriving Home has become a leader in the freezer cooking space, and these time-strapped moms of three (each!) jokingly refer to themselves as “freezer meal evangelists.” They are the authors of From Freezer to Table and live with their families in Columbia, Missouri.

Introduction

“How can I get dinner on the table tonight?”

From our experience feeding our own families, writing a food blog, and teaching freezer-cooking seminars for many years now, we know this is a looming question you’re asking almost every day. Hey, we are, too!

We’re guessing you understand the benefits of eating at home. You get just how important it is to look your kids and loved ones in the eye over a meal and talk about your day. You know that home-cooked food with whole-food ingredients is always better for you than eating out or grabbing processed junk from the store. You want to watch your budget and cook from scratch and/or in bulk to save money. ’Cause you’re smart like that.

But we also know that no matter how well any of us plans, getting a healthy dinner on the table on a weeknight can be a struggle. Life happens. You leave work later than usual. There’s a whiny toddler hanging on your leg. You forget to throw dinner in the slow cooker that morning or to thaw a freezer meal in advance. You’re ferrying children to baseball practice or piano lessons all evening. Maybe you’re just bone-dead tired.

That’s exactly why we created this cookbook. With the use of your slow cooker or Instant Pot and your freezer, we’re going to help you get a nutritious and delicious dinner on the table each night despite what life may throw at you.

This cookbook is truly one of a kind. Out of the thousands of cookbooks on the market, there is nothing—and we mean nothing—like it. Every recipe in this book can be made in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot. In addition to that, every recipe includes freezing instructions, and most can even be cooked straight from frozen in the Instant Pot. With our recipes in hand, you can prep meals ahead in bulk for virtually hands-free meals down the road.

With two years of recipe development for this book and five hundred volunteer recipe testers on our team (seriously!), we are thrilled to teach you everything we’ve learned about freezer cooking for the slow cooker and Instant Pot. We truly believe this is going to be an incredibly valuable resource for the busy parent (or college student, or working adult) who values eating wholesome meals at home.

Our recipes are all about versatility. Let’s take a look at how our cookbook concept works to help get dinner on the table.

About Our Recipes

When we dove into creating recipes for this book, we had no idea we had signed up for one big tasty science experiment. Using our meat thermometers as our guide, we honed in on the perfect cooking times for all of our freezer-friendly recipes that your family will be making in the slow cooker or Instant Pot over and over again.

As we created and developed an arsenal of amazing recipes, we worked hard to make sure all of them met these five goals:

Goal #1
DELICIOUS.
We aren’t here to waste anyone’s time. If a recipe wasn’t one that our own families and our recipe-testing team enjoyed, it simply didn’t make the cut. Like you, if we’re going to spend time cooking, we want some yummy food on the table! So deliciousness was our first and most important goal.

Goal #2
CAN BE MADE IN BOTH THE SLOW COOKER AND THE INSTANT POT.
Every recipe in this book has instructions for cooking the dish in the slow cooker and the Instant Pot (or another electric pressure cooker). We worked hard to perfect the cooking times for each of these cookers to ensure you aren’t overcooking (or undercooking) your food.

Goal #3
FREEZER-FRIENDLY.
Although every recipe in here was created and tested as a fresh meal, it also had to pass the freezer-friendly test. That means it must freeze, thaw, and prepare successfully, with no major textural or taste changes along the way. To make it easy for you, we’ve included simple freezer meal instructions at the bottom of every recipe.

Goal #4
WHOLE FOODS.
What makes our recipes stand out from freezer meals you might find elsewhere is that they are primarily made with whole-food ingredients. Each one reflects our commitment to the “whole-foods philosophy,” where cooking at home, carefully selecting all-natural ingredients, and eating a variety of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, healthy fats, and local or organic meats are the foundations of a healthy diet.

Goal #5
EASY TO PREPARE.
If you’re reading this book, we know you have a packed schedule. As much as you may love cooking (or not), your time is precious. So we’ve intentionally chosen recipes that are simple enough for anyone to make. We tried to find the shortest path to the best result in every single one.

So helpful for busy people!

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020

I have both the physical copy and the digital kindle version. The recipes are soo good, every one of them we have tried has gone into our monthly rotation. Not only that, but it teaches you so much about food safety and how to cook in both instant cooker and slow cooker from frozen, when that's not safe and you need to thaw in the refrigerator first, what kind of kitchen tools to get/what to look for, etc. I love the guide in the back that lists out all the gluten free, dairy free, kid favorites, slow cooks all day (helpful if you cant come home in the middle of the day at work to check on stuff), and other categories of recipes. This book was researched and tested so well and it shows in the recipes. I like having the kindle version so I can go to the grocery store and go back to a recipe on my phone and easily add another meal for the week into my cart or look up the ingredient list and make sure I have everything. I dont have many cookbooks, but this is one I cherish! So neccessary for busy parents wanting to serve their family good food that's fast and homemade.

Forever friend of this cookbook... and my new Instant Pot!

I LOVE this newest cookbook authored by Polly and Rachel! I have always been a fan of their Thriving Home blog and have been a faithful fan of their first cookbook, From Freezer to Table. I have already made five recipes from this newest cookbook and all have been successful! The Blueberry French Toast Casserole with Vanilla Glaze has been served in our home twice. It is easy and delicious. My granddaughter kept going back for more! Another recipe prepared is the Garlic Herb Whole Chicken with Gravy and it was wonderful! I used the leftover chicken parts to make the Low-Sodium Chicken Broth. I can’t wait to use it to make some soup! Adelyn’s Sticky BBQ Drumsticks were equally easy and of course, delicious! That BBQ Sauce will be a go-to recipe for other dishes! Lastly, The Garlicky Chicken Thighs are ready for dinner this evening! I had to take a little taste, and YUM! I have prepared all these recipes using my new Instant Pot, in which I have a LOVE for! I was on the fence about purchasing one for so long! This book has helped me learn more about using my newest kitchen tool, with its informative “instant pot basics.” The directions on how to prepare the recipes in this cookbook are easy to follow. Thank you Polly and Rachel! I’ve been preparing more homemade meals at home and eating out less, thanks to your cookbooks! My husband thanks you too!! Both cookbooks have a special place on my cookbook shelf!

Convenience with a Caveat

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2024

Verified Purchase

This cookbook is a lifesaver for busy weeknights! Prepping meals in advance and throwing them in the slow cooker or Instant Pot is pure magic. I especially loved the Chicken Dumpling Stew - the broth was packed with flavor, the chicken tender, and the dumplings light and fluffy. Plus, the convenience of freezing portions for later was fantastic.

However, a few things held me back from a perfect score. Some recipes, like the Balsamic Pot Roast, lacked depth of flavor and needed additional spices/seasoning. Additionally, the "cook from frozen" instructions didn't always work seamlessly, requiring adjustments to cooking times.

Overall, "From Freezer to Cooker" is a solid choice for anyone looking for convenient, healthy meals. Just be prepared to adjust some recipes and cooking times to your liking. With a little tweaking, you can have delicious, home-cooked meals on the table in no time!

Great cookbook for families

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have their first cookbook and LOVE it, so I was super excited when I found out that this one was coming out! It’s definitely going to be one of my favorites for years to come! I love that each and every recipe has instructions for preparation, freezing, cooking immediately in a slow cooker, cooking immediately in an Instant Pot, and cooking from frozen for each cooker. I don’t know of any other cookbooks that are this comprehensive when it comes to freezer cooking. I also greatly appreciate that they’ve created whole-foods based recipes that are healthy (no canned cream soups or or nasty seasoning packets), but what’s even better is that so many of these recipes are versatile; the meat recipes especially can be used as written or can be used a number of different ways (sandwiches, wraps, tacos, salad topping, pizza topping, etc). These recipes really are family/kid friendly without being bland or boring, and the photos are wonderful. I look forward to trying every single recipe (I just used their recipe for taco seasoning in my taco meat last night!!), and I look forward to their next cookbook!
