NBR: Looking for good freezer recipes

My NY Resolution is to start menu planning and I'd like to give freezing meals a shot.   I was lurking on the SAHM board and a woman posted a few of her recipes and I'm looking for more.   I'd love to have any recipes that you've done in the freezer that have turned out well.

    i love making marinades and popping chicken, pork or beef cuts into the marinade and then freezing.  Then thaw overnight and they are delicious!  Let me know if you want a couple of marinades I use.

     I recently made sloppy joes and froze a portion.  When I reheated them in the saucepan I had to add a little water but they were pretty good.  I also have a chicken pot pie crock pot recipe that I divide and freeze the insides. I cooked one recently and it was a little watery, but still very good.

    Let me know if you want these recipes.  Other winners are lasagna and other pasta dishes.  Also soups are really good to freeze in individual or family size dishes.  I recently used frozen black bean soup and while the rice broke up a lot it was still pretty good.  I'd probably make it and freeze it without the rice unless anyone has an idea what I did wrong.

    Turkey tomatillo chili is delicious, although I only use 1/2 the turkey called for and it still makes a ton:  https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Turkey-Chipotle-Chili-11339. Particularly good w/ cornbread, which also freezes well.

     

    White bean, sausage, and kale soup:  whole meal in a bowl if you round up the kale (I ~ double), and I make it really thick so that it's like a stew:  https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Kale-and-White-Bean-Soup-106153.
