Freezer meal help

DH and I love this calzone recipe, and with LO due soon, we are working on a freezer stash.  I am wondering if there is a way we can make this a freezer meal.  I don't know if it makes a difference, but we don't use olives in the recipe and make our own dough.

Sorry, I can't make it clicky.

Re: Freezer meal help

  • I'd bake it, freeze it, and rebake it when you want to eat it. 

    I freeze just about all our leftovers. The only thing that came out really weird after freezing was some leftover strawberry smoothie I tried to freeze )

  • I think Calzones should freeze pretty well and reheat in the oven just fine. 

    I did the same thing with the freezer meal stash when I was pregnant. I made a batch of this and then saved it in small batches along with a few cups of rice:

    It was my favorite thing I made. 

    Congrats on the end of your pregnancy! Aren't pregnancy days like dog years? Seriously 7 times as long as normal days. 

  • This is random, but I see in your sig that rels09 was your TTC buddy - I had no idea she was expecting! She was a regular here a while back and I always thought she was the sweetest girl. Tell her to come back!  :)

  • we bought calzones from CostCo when DH was sick and I froze them.   We just put them in the fridge the night before the thaw and then cook at 400 for 20 min and they turn out great.    I think you'll be just fine.

    I will! I was thinking the other day that I haven't emailed in forever.
