best freeze and save meal ideas?

raspell · September 2015

So, I'm trying to get as much ready as possible for my c-section next week. I am putting together some freeze and reheat type meals so I don't have to worry about cooking. Do any of you have great freezable meal ideas/recipes that I can add? I already have a vegetable stew and the typical lasagna/pasta type stuff.

Thanks!

In addition to meatballs and stuffed shells, I did chili, a chicken & rice recipe I make in the crockpot, and chicken pot pies. Pinterest has tons of recipes!

fajita filling, taco filling, barbeque (I have venison, pork, chicken, turkey, and beef barbeque frozen), precook some meat and buy some frozen stir fry veggies and teriyaki sauce to throw together a quick meal. Almost any broth based or veggie based soup or stew (chicken noodle, beef stew, butternut squash soup etc.)

I did meatballs, chicken and rice soup, pot pies, banana bread, french bread, and blueberry muffins. Pinterest and easy bake mixes are your friend!

I just found this recipe for a hamburger stew. I haven't made it but it looks yum!

I'm doing mine this week. I will be making:
Pot pie soup
Chicken quinoa bake
Chicken noodle casserole
Beef and broccoli for crockpot
Acorn squash soup
Stuffed spaghetti squash
Chilli
Ham and cheese sandwiches (Hawaiian rolls)
Chicken enchiladas
Breakfast burritos
Breakfast sandwiches

I'm big on freezer meals even outside of having a newborn! My tip would be to use foil pans, but wrap fully (all around) and tightly before covering with foil. They are had to get foil to stay on and it would he a shame to lose food because it wasn't sealed!

Do you have a crockpot? I made about 15 freezer crockpot meals over the weekend. It took a few hours to do the shopping and put all the ingredients into gallon ziploc bags, but I will be grateful when I just have to thaw and let the crockpot do its magic. Here are some decent sites for recipes...

We made a bunch of different things, including this one we heated up the other night and it was great (for uncooked pasta in the freezer!): https://www.5dollardinners.com/no-boil-freezer-manicotti-guest-post/
