Freezer Meals for Kitchen Remodel?

[Imzadi]

Do you have/could you fit in a crockpot? Many good meals come from a crockpot, and there are likely to be ones on sale for Black Friday for $20 or less. You could prep the night before, put it in the fridge, then plug in the next morning.

The Instapot doubles as a crockpot for slow cooking.

Ah! I didn't realize. I bought an instapot a few years back, tried a couple recipes, was less than happy with it. I still have it, but never use it.

In any event, when we did a to-the-studs remodel, we worked with a convection/toaster oven, microwave, electric skillet, and crockpot. But, there's more of us, and we're less picky than the OP about processed food (that's not a criticism--I should do better!). We also live in North Carolina, so grilling/smoking were great options. If the OP is somewhere north, she might not want to be grilling during a blizzard!
