Before I launch the blog into holiday-recipe mode this coming Thursday (vegan gingerbread, chocolate fudge bars, lemon meltaway cookies…), I wanted to devote a post to answering some of the common questions readers ask regarding meal prep of my recipes.

WHAT CONTAINERS SHOULD I USE? 

For freshness and to be environmentally friendly, I own and recommend these BPA Free Glass Meal Prep Containers.

They’re reusable and freezer-safe, with smartlock leakproof lids. The containers can be used in the oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SERVE WITH THEM?

Applesauce Muffins

Rice, quinoa, pasta, or another grain

Steamed or roasted vegetables

Keto Muffins or Banana Muffins

Baked tofu, beans, or another protein source

Or try the Homemade English Muffins from my Hello Breakfast ebook

 

HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?

To be on the safe side, I usually freeze whatever I’m not eating within four days.

If you plan to freeze the sesame or lemon cauliflower, it’s a good idea to cut the cauliflower into smaller florets so they thaw more evenly upon reheating. The mac and cheese is fine to freeze as-is.

I don’t really recommend freezing the buffalo version simply because the inevitable texture change of freezing cauliflower is especially apparent in a recipe like that where texture is so important. But technically it can be frozen as well, and multiple readers have commented that they do it all the time and are still fine with it. So it’s completely up to you!

    The sticky sauce was way way way way too salty! Had to toss
    Please put sodium facts in the nutrition information. Would love to see more low sodium recipies.

    Can’t wait to try all of these cauliflower recipes! In the summer when I can get humongous cauliflowers from farmers markets (same price regardless the size at least at the market I go to! Lol! Bargain!!) so I will definitely need to freeze them. I know you’ve mentioned that glass is good for freezing but I’m thinking ziploc bags as long as it’s completely cold when put in (so no additional moisture accumulates) that way I can freeze them flat in the bag. So excited about these recipes! I’ll be making them all keto! Thank you!!!
