Freezer cooking

dmartin726

Anyone have success with this?  I don't really have any reason to do it (i.e. new baby, moving..) I'm just too lazy to cook lately.  I do the macaroni type ones (baked ziti, lasagna, stuffed shells) it's the protein ones that I need help on!

Please share success stories, tips, tricks and recipes!!

I've made the following 2 recipes, then frozen them before baking with success.

Southwestern Rollups:  http://adventuresofmini-martha.blogspot.com/2011/07/baked-southwest-rollups.html

Quinoa Fajita Burritos:  http://www.thegardengrazer.com/2012/06/quinoa-fajita-burritos.html

The burritos blog post has instructions for freezing. For the rollups, I just lay them on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper and freeze for 1/2 hour or so, then place in ziplock bag and continue freezing. This way they don't stick together and you can take out just the amount you need. I usually do them at 350 for about 20 minutes or so to warm through, then will spray the tops with cooking spray to brown them.

I would like to make more.  When I make a lasagna, I usually double the batch, so I have one in the freezer.  That's about it for my freezer cooking.  I went to a Tastefully Simple Freezer Meal party - and I was not impressed with her recipes.  But, I do want to try some of my own meals and freeze them.

I took a freezer meals class, and I learned to use extra sauce and/or cream.  I make giant batches of vegetable soup in the fall, when produce is cheap.  Just undercook the veggies and barley, and then freeze in bags.  Delicious through the winter.

You should purchase a ziplock food container which preserve your food for the long time.
