That has been my entire life since early in the morn on Friday. Boy, is moving a lot of work. It&rsquo;s exciting, frustrating, exhilarating, consuming, and exhausting.&nbsp;But I&rsquo;m happy to announce that Zach and I are officially happy homeowners! Hooray!!<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve had ZERO time to cook. Which is why I made sure to plan for an abundance of freezer meals to quickly heat up during this hectic time. On more than one occasion, Zach and I paused unpacking and realized we had forgotten to eat. FORGOTTEN to eat. That&rsquo;s very unlike me. Thank goodness for freezer meals, and specifically&nbsp;<em>healthy<\/em>, real food&nbsp;meals <em>(like my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/2016\/01\/30\/detox-chicken-and-vegetable-soup\/\">Detox Chicken and Vegetable Soup<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/em>that helped us regain our energy and not make us feel sluggish and exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>And even when there isn&rsquo;t something extremely hectic happening in my life, I usually make sure to at least have a few things in the freezer waiting for that time I just DON&rsquo;T want to cook. Having back-up meals in your freezer for emergencies can help you keep your healthy eating and cooking goals without resorting to unhealthy or expensive take-out. This means you won&rsquo;t be even a little bit tempted by the local fried chicken place as a dinner option&nbsp;<em>(OK FINE, we caved and got it once this weekend. #noregrets).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that I have an entire recipe section devoted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/category\/make-aheadfreezer-meals\/\">meals you can make ahead \/&nbsp;freeze<\/a>?
