5 Easy Ways to Make Meals in Advance

Muffin Tin Portions 1 of 5

What a great idea to use muffin tins to freeze small mug-sized soup sortions ahead of time! Just grab a frozen portion and microwave in a mug. (via Mommy in Charge)

Freezer Crockpot Meals 2 of 5

I love this idea of spending one afternoon chopping, sorting, dividing and freezing so that you have a large selection of ready-for-the-crockpot frozen meals. Spices, seasonings, and vegetables are all included! (via Mama and Baby Love)

Make an entire month of smoothie meals-to-go by pre-portioning out your smoothie ingredients in a bag. (via The Tidy Nest)
