Ideas for meals that can be frozen?!


Question: Hey all. I am getting busy with life and thought that a good idea would be to do my cooking on Sunday and freeze meals for the week. Pass me along some meal ideas that are fairly quick (and easy), freeze and reheat well, and are not too fattening. Any pointers about freezing and reheating? I am a cooking novice.

I used personal sized throw away tins or large metal pans (throw away or metal casserol pans)from the market, and have put meatloaf with mashed potatos, gravy and a veggie-you can do personal pot pies, pasta such as lasgna, spagetthi, mannacotti etc..., or other casserols and freeze. Label and date so you know what's in it and how long it's been there. Just put them in the fridge a day or two in advance and then reheat in the oven, you can reheat straight from the freezer as well. Basically anything you see in freezer meals at the market you can do your self.

Just about any casserole does well when frozen and then reheated, as does spaghetti and lasagna. I also like chicken enchiladas, mac and cheese, and soups. Soups are especially great because you can freeze it in bags and reheat in a sauce pan. It tastes like you just made it. Just be sure you use good containers to avoid freezer burn, and label and date it.

Make soup....such as Ham and bean, Beef and vegetable, or chili... look up recipes on allrecipes.com.
