A great recipe and step by step directions for making homemade stir-fry freezer meal. A healthy freezer meal that can be made up in minutes on those busy nights!

This week I have been doing more of my 50 freezer meals in a day cooking. With school starting soon and summer coming to a close I will need all the help I can get.  Freezer meals help me out so much.  This homemade stir-fry freezer meal is a delicious healthy dinner for my family.

This time of year is the perfect time of year to make this if you have your own garden.  You can use any variety of vegetables.  This time I used cauliflower, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and summer squash. It turned out great! I love to have a little protein with my veggies so I added some chicken. I have also made this with pork, and beef, but most of the time I use chicken because we always have it on hand.

    No need to precook veggies, once frozen they will be soft. Nothing worse then mushy stir fry

    Your website has totally inspired me!! I think it’s because I am due with baby #2 in less than two weeks, but I am on this serious “homemaker” kick of wanting to keep things simple and more healthy. And to actually prepare something for dinner rather than keep throwing a frozen pizza in the oven and calling it good. Yesterday, after making your chocolate chip cookie recipe, I prepared all of the veggies for 3 stir fry meals and I am so proud of myself. I’ve never done anything like this before, and am going to take it slow and not try to make every single recipe all at once like I would like to, haha! Your website it clean and simple and I should just get it over with and make it my homepage. I’ve already printed off about 6 different recipes that I will be trying. I feel like every other site I’ve come across makes things too complicated, with crazy ingredients that I’d never buy anyways and then I give up before I even begin. So, THANK YOU for helping out a beginning meal-maker and mom – there’s no stopping me now!

    Wow, I can’t wait to try this! I think it will be supper one night and freeze some for later. I showed this to my husband and even he wants me to try it. Thank you for this idea and the recipe. We are trying to do more interesting meals to eat at home.
