So this weekend was crazy busy. So busy that we didn’t think we were going to have a minute to do a grocery run. Because of that and to squeeze some more juice out of our budget this month, we decided to do a Freezer Meal Week again!
Woot! NO shopping. NO prep. And FOUR meals straight outta the freezer!
That’s the amazingness of doubling or dividing a meal or two each week!
Freezer meals Rock!
By the way… you can do it too. Seriously.
And along those lines, I am SO excited to be able to host an amazing giveaway today!
One of you lucky peeps can win SIX MONTHS FREE from 5 Dinners 1 Hour!!!

What are you eating this week?
Make sure to stay tuned for Part 2 on Weekly Meal Prep Tips coming up Wednesday!
I would find a weekly planning tool very helpful. I am going to be starting full time work soon, and I am trying to find a way to balance work and still be able to eat healthy.
I just started using the weekly meal prep plan this week and already love it! I am the mother of 4 and work out of the home full time, so prepping meals ahead of time will save me tons of time (cooking for 6 takes forever!) that can be better used hanging out with the family…or cleaning up after them :)
Ha! If only there were a “clean up five meals in one hour” plan, lol!
I have always been cooking just for me as single and retired. Never focused on creating a meal for more than one. I have kind of adopted 3 kids that I frequently prepare meals for and I have no idea how to plan, budget and make sure the meals are healthy, economical and of course yummy! Would love the help!
I get so tired of wondering whats for dinner every day. At this time of year we are so busy, it would be great to have my meals all ready to go with very little time spent each day.
I love the idea of cooking 5 meals in an hour, but never tried it, so I’d love the help in getting started. Btw- love your blog!
With my husband working late every night and 2 boys playing sports 4 nights a week, I am always in a panic to feed my family. Now that we are expecting baby #3, things are about to get much crazier in our house! Having all of my healthy meals and shopping lists planned out each week would be such a great benefit to our busy family.
I am a mother of three. I have a strict budget and am always looking for meal ideas that are yummy, affordable, yet nutritious. I am busy between work, softball, t-ball, and soccer. It would be nice to have a meal plan from 5 dinners 1 hour to be stress free at dinner time.
With 2 toddlers underfoot, once 5 o’clock hits it’s total mayhem. Having our menu planned out makes everything go much smoother & it also makes a huge difference in our grocery budget.
What? You mean I wouldn’t have to run around like crazy when I get home trying to get dinner planned, ready, prepped, cooked? That would be a Godsend! I would love the chance to win this giveaway. Thanks for offering it!
Between, work, school, two kids and a husband the last thing i want to do is plan my menus and go shopping; this would be such a wonderful help to me, thank yo!
I LOVE your blog…..I do alot of doubling for the freezer and browning double the ground beef needed, etc. But my trouble is coming up with a menu and plan–there just never seems to be enough time. I’d love to win–this would be GREAT! *fingers crossed!*
I love your blog…every month I say I am going to start trying to prep on Sunday and I don’t! This would be so helpful with two little boys start going a little crazy around dinner prep time.
I LOVE menu planning and I just started some freezer cooking and I’m just starting to get the hang of it. I would LOVE to win this giveaway!
I am about to start a long-term sub job for a teacher friend that is having a baby! The meal planning tips would be wonderful in helping me make the transition from part-time to full-time!
I am always looking for new ways to simplify my weekly menu plans. I think the concept of 5 meals in 1 hour is terrific! I do prep a lot of my ingredients in advance already, but this takes it a step further by prepping almost the entire meal for each day of the week. That is really clever. Learning some new tricks is always helpful :)
Yay! I have been trying to do the meal prep thing. I haven’t been doing it every week, but I’d like to. It would make things so much easier to not have to do the meal planning part of it.
I’ve been eyeing 5 Dinners 1 Hour for a while now. Would love to win this.
I would LOOOOOVE this! I try to meal plan each week, but to be honest, I’ve found myself repeating a lot of meals! And, I don’t always make a plan, once we get busy. A tool like this would be so helpful. Thank you for offering such a great prize.
It relaxes me!! No stress of rummaging around trying to find something, no frozen dinners (well not as many!), no remembering at 4 p.m. that I was going to do crock pot meal… It’s just easier to check my blog in them morning and be know that within my crazy day at least one thing is planned out!
Summers are insane in my home. With four kids going at least 27 different directions, I am the “never-at-home-stay-at-home” mom. Weekly meal prep would be a life-saver!!
I just found ur blog via pinterest! Trying out several recipes this week! Going to do my first weeks worth of cooking this weekend! Last night it was Asian pork chops! Delicious!! I made a quick batch of brown rice with garlic & Chinese 5 spice! It was a perfect fit! Tonight meatball subs! Thank u! I’m really excited to kick things off!!!
We are a busy family of 4! We coach 3 teams, so are gone until 7 or 7:30 almost every night of the week. Saturdays we play ball AND play catch up on everything else from the week we haven’t been able to get done. A meal plan would be so nice to have! The boys and I could work together preparing for the next week and not feel totally overwhelmed!
My husband is in college full time, and I teach third grade. During the school year it’s hard to find time for ourselves (and prepare a good meal). A meal plan would give us more time together and more money in our budget. Plus, it would help us develop good habits for when our family grows.
I discovered your blog a while ago and have been intrigued with the concept of one day meal prep. Winning will definitely help me since baby #5 will be here in 4 weeks, plus I’m a homeschooling mom. Pick me, please!
I love this. I have only been doing this a short time but my family love what i have done so far!!
Love your blog! Excited about your giveaway!
Great giveaway!
