gandpsmommy Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I think the idea to take frozen dinners to my sister after she has her baby is an excellent one. We actually stocked up our freezer with quality frozen meals from a delivery service right before the birth of our second child, and it was so nice to just have to preheat the oven and bake whatever we chose from the freezer for dinner that night. I'm thinking that Ree's lasagna would be one good choice, but I can't think of anything else. Any ideas? Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Really most things that you cook will freeze well. Most soups, chili, enchiladas, pizza, lasagna, almost any casserole, quiche (freeze uncooked), parmesan chicken bake, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirsmommy Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I have done things like lasagna, enchilada,chicken tenders, spaghetti sauces and stews. I also do the things like take all the things for a pot roast (meat, onions, carrots) cut it up and vacuum seal it so that it can be dumped in the crock and forgotten for the day. I also have done roasting chickens for my parents by getting them fresh and making the seasoned butter and getting stuck under the skin before I vacuum seal it and freeze it for them. Just about any meal not including a salad or something will work this way. Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Not fancy but good comfort food. You can freeze meatballs and meatloaf before you good them or after they are cooked. Twice-baked potatoes freeze well. Soups are good but if you have potatoes in the soup, they usually turn to mush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneJ Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Check out 30DayGourmet or any of the recipes of Recipezaar that are listed as OAMC (once a month cooking--look under the preparation tab, then OAMC). You'll get a good idea from those websites about what freezes well. You can also freeze coffeecakes (raw or baked), muffins, quick breads, snack mixes and fruit slushies if you want to expand your offering a bit. That said, here is some of what I freeze: Baked Praline French Toast Baked Ziti with Ricotta Beef Stroganoff (sauce, not the pasta) BBQ Chicken Pizza Vegetable Beef Soup Chicken Fingers Chicken and Rice Casserole Beef Tamale Pie Chicken Divan Cheesy Ham 'N Rice Soup Pulled Pork Chili Italian Stuffed Meatloaf Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes Pulled meat for tacos Enchiladas Creamy Shrimp with Roasted Red Peppers BBQ Meat for sandwiches Stuffed Shells Spinach Mushroom Beef Patties (raw--cook after freezing) Stuffed Chicken Breakfast Sandwiches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
