Baked spaghetti. When making spaghetti I double the recipe and then after dinner mix leftover noodles and sauce together and put in a casserole pan. Top with shredded cheese, cover and put in the fridge or freezer to make later. When ready to eat, uncover and pop in the oven till hot and the cheese is melty, about 30 minutes at 350 degrees out of the fridge.

I know this recipe is going to seem like a lot, but it is crazy easy to make. Just dump all the ingredients into the mixer and then put in the pie crust. I also love that it makes two pies (so perfect for dinner parties or one for now/one for later). Also most of the ingredients last a long time, so I normally have everything except the pie crusts already.

2 cans of cooked chicken (near the canned tuna)
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
2 eggs
1 bag of shredded mozzarella
2 cups of frozen hashbrowns
2 cups of frozen peas/carrots mixture (or other veggies. We just like peas and carrots here).
Salt, pepper and garlic powder
2 bottom crusts (freezer section)
2 top crusts (near the cookie dough in refrigerated section)

Mix all the filling together (you don't even have to defrost the frozen things).
Add half of filling to each bottom crust.
Top with the top crusts, pinching the sides together.
Bake covered with foil at 375 for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes before cutting, since it is like lava.

Lemon garlic chicken. Whisk minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl. Quantities can vary, as it’s all to whatever your taste is. Pour over chicken breasts/thighs/whatever. Marinate overnight in a covered dish. This whole process takes maybe ten minutes, aside from the marinating. You can then either cook it in a crockpot on low until tender (about 6 hours) or in the oven at 350 until it reaches an internal temp of 165. Time is going to vary based on the size of the chicken pieces. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

My guera turkey enchilada casserole:

1lb ground turkey or beef
12 corn tortillas (taco size)

1 16oz jar salsa
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1 oz container sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
1 (small) can sliced olives
1 (small) can diced green chilis (optional)

Brown turkey/beef in skillet. Mix salsa, sour cream and soup in a bowl. Spray baking dish with some cooking spray, warm tortillas in paper towel in microwave for 10 seconds. Spread a thin layer of the salsa mix on bottom of dish, cover with tortillas, then add a layer of turkey, cheese, chilis and salsa mix again. Repeat until you’ve used it all up, ending with the salsa sauce on top. Top with more shredded cheese and the sliced olives. Bake uncovered at 350° for 30min. Freezes really well!

I can't take credit for this carnitas recipe but it's an amazingly easy and versatile go-to:
https://www.marksdailyapple.com/crispy-carnitas/#axzz3LGQGNang

the ingredients:

3 to 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder/butt cut into five pieces.
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped or thinly sliced

Comes together in <10 minutes (perfect for after baby comes), is *so* flavorful, and freezes well. DH and I eat it with sliced avocado and fried plantains, or use it in tacos, enchiladas, burrito bowls, and over greens.

dobiemom11 · September 2020

@luckypenny11. I can't get enough fried plaintains right now!!

Greek yogurt "chicken parm"!

Take one 5 oz container of plain greek yogurt. Mix in as much grated parmesan as you want, plus your choice of seasoning (I usually use garlic powder).

Take 4 chicken breasts and coat them with the yogurt mixture. Bake for 45 min at 375!

Slow roasted salmon with vegetables. The prep takes 5-7 minutes, but non-active cooking time takes 45-60.

Preheat oven to 275

- 3/4-1.5lb salmon filet, add a little EVOO, salt & pepper onto a medium to large parchment paper covered baking pan
- In a bowl mix a drained can (or 2!) of artichoke hearts, about 6oz julienned sundried tomatoes, regular baby tomatoes if you want, and sliced red onion, fennel or any other veg that you want. Asparagus or broccolini are good too! We sometimes also add sliced garlic. Add a glug or two of EVOO, toss with salt and pepper, and arrange the veggies around the filet of salmon (not on top)

- slice a lemon in half and add to the baking pan. Don’t squeeze it yet.
- cook for 45-60 mins. Using tongs juice the lemon halves over the salmon & veg before serving. Can slice the salmon & transfer to a serving platter with veg strewn around for a pretty presentation!

Ill add some chopped fresh herbs over top before serving Sometimes if I have them - basil, parsley, oregano. Also I like to serve burrata with balsamic vinegar & olive oil and fresh tomaro on the side with bread!

The texture of this slow cooked salmon is incredible & it’s so easy but guests think you’re a gourmet chef!

autumn87654321 · September 2020

@shelmcclel I’ll have to try this! I usually do salon the way my dad taught me. “Marinade “ with soy sauce for 5 minutes. Rub mayo on top (I know it sounds weird, sprinkle (generously) with thyme and dill broil skin down on some foil for about 10+minutes. The salmon stays moist (medium/med rare) the egg in the mayo gets brown and crispy on top.

@peyts228 I’m totally gonna try this chicken too! Yum

I'm all about using the crock pot - especially this time of year. One of our favorites is Italian Chicken Pasta. I really like chicken crock pot meals but used to avoid them because they can't cook for a full work day. Working from home I often make them.

1 chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1.25 -1.5 lbs chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breasts
25 oz spaghetti sauce
salt and pepper to taste
12 oz cream cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
1 lb pasta

Dump everything in the crock pot except for the pasta and cook 3-4 hours on high. When the chicken is done, shred it and stir everything up to mix up the cream cheese. Boil the pasta, then add it to the crock pot, toss and serve.

karmba · September 2020

@shelmcclel I'll remember this for post-pregnancy. Salmon is just not appetizing at all right now - but I normally love it!

@dobiemom11 I'm super intrigued by the frozen hash browns in the chicken pot pie. It seems like it would be pretty easy to half the recipe - I'll have to try it!

dobiemom11 · September 2020

@karmba. It is easy to halve the recipe which I normally do when I forget to buy pie crust. How can I finagle this with the one pie crust I have left over from something else? I often have every good intention to freeze the second pie, but normally cook it since we both love it so much.

This beef stroganoff slow cooker recipe is a hit with everybody in my family and super easy to throw together. I have it going in my crock pot today!

@dobiemom11 as long as my glucose test comes back ok I'm going to make a chocolate pie with the leftover frozen pie crust haha.

dobiemom11 · September 2020

@karmba. Is that super easy to make? I have been dreaming of chocolate pie lately.

karmba · September 2020

@dobiemom11 I haven't made it before, but this is the recipe I'm going to use. It seems pretty easy! https://butteryourbiscuit.com/rich-creamy-chocolate-cream-pie/

peyts228 · September 2020

@readermom1 Ooh, beef stroganoff has been my #1 pregnancy craving!! (Weirdly specific, I know!) Excited to give it a try in the slow cooker!

dobiemom11 · October 2020

I made this today and it was so good. I threw some frozen veggies in the crockpot at the last five minutes and had some dinner rolls with it. Yum!!

Do we have a running thread on here or in the private group for Freezer Meal ideas? We knocked out a ton last pregnancy and have started our stash for this time too, so I have some ideas I could share but also thought if anyone else has some freezer meal inspiration I can add some more to my mix!

babymakes9 · November 2020

@sierra2020 go ahead and add them here. Can't wait to see what yumminess you suggest!

autumn87654321 · November 2020

@sierra2020
id love to hear freezer meal ideas !
I’m planning to make some lentil squash curry
and a big thanksgiving but only for 3 people and freeze leftovers. But that’s all o have so far
I hope to avoid the crap I’ve been eating lately. I’ve Just been too busy to cook between work and work at home and sleeping every once in a while. A few times I’ve even brought a frozen lean cuisine Type meal to work which is always disappointing.
