328: Ditch the Dinnertime Chaos: Must-Know Freezer Meal Tips for Busy Moms with Nakita Attard Vassallo

Ever hit 5:00 pm and suddenly realize… you have no idea what's for dinner? 😬

In this episode, we're cutting through the dinner-time chaos with one of the most powerful tools for simplifying your evenings: freezer meals. But don't worry — this isn't your typical "spend all Sunday batch cooking" kind of advice. My guest, Nikita from The Freezer Meals Club, shares her zero-fuss approach to make-ahead meals that work for real life (with real schedules, picky eaters, and limited freezer space).

Whether you love to cook or avoid it at all costs, this episode will show you how to turn just one night of dinner into three — without a single extra pan to wash.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why freezer meals aren't just for "supermoms" — and how Nikita stumbled into the system that changed everything
• The simple freezer meal strategy that takes 5 extra minutes (no 4-hour prep required)
• What foods freeze well (and what to skip to avoid soggy surprises)
• How to store and label meals to avoid freezer burn and keep things fresh
• Genius tools and storage tips that don't require a second freezer
• Why just one batch-cooked meal per week can eliminate 4–6 nights of cooking each month
• How to get your kids involved (or how to use freezer meals to free up time for your kids)
