Dinners that freeze
I'm not much of a cook but I've decided that it's time we start eating a better. I don't work on Fridays and figured that would be a great opportunity to make and freeze meals for the upcoming week.
Here's my problem - I don't know what to make that would freeze well and be good to heat up. Any ideas? Or do you know of any good websites?
TIA!
Re: Dinners that freeze
To make cooking easier during the week on Sundays I will cut up all my onions, celery, bell peppers etc and divide them up in freezer bags for the week. This way I don't have to waste time chopping up everything.
enchiladas always freeze well
Check out website menus for companies like Dinner Station, Super Suppers, etc. to get a bunch of ideas too!
I have just started doing this. In my freezer right now are: two pizza dough crusts, three large bags of pasta sauce, 1 jar of pizza sauce (same as pasta sauce, just a smaller amount), 2 bags of vegetarian chili, 1 bag of vegetarian stew, two bags of shredded BBQ chicken, 3 bags of shredded Mexican chicken, 3 bags of cooked ground turkey, lasagna (individually frozen for quick lunches--eating one right now), and 2 bags with marinated/breaded chicken. We ate the last of the hamburger patties last night.
This is a fellow nestie's blog about freezer cooking: http://adventuresinmyfreezer.blogspot.com/. She also has a lot of great resources on her blog, which is where I found some of my ideas/recipes (BBQ and Mexican chicken).
So far, I'm finding all these things re-heat very well and all are very versitile. Makes cooking during the week so much easier. Throw on the stove or in the oven to re-heat, make a salad and/or some veggies, pasta or rice, if neccessary. But your main cooking is out of the way.
