Hi, I’m Erin.

Welcome to Big Green House!

In 2019, Big Green House was born! It started out focused on all things dessert. In 2022, I began adding savory recipes to the mix, and after a short break I jumped back in and added my love of thrifting.

Today, Big Green House is all about freezer meal prep. With six kids at home, I know how hard it is to get a homemade dinner on the table every night. So I share easy make-ahead meals and sauces you can prep in one batch, freeze, and pull out on busy nights: creamy pastas, hearty sauces, and family-friendly dinners, each with step-by-step photos.

Everything here is simple to make and usually has a short list of ingredients. Whether you’re an expert in the kitchen or just starting out, you’ll find something delicious to stock your freezer with.
