Comments on: Freezing Meals http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2008/03/freezing-meals.html wholesome and delicious meals from my table to yours Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:43:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Teresa http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2008/03/freezing-meals.html#comment-3033 Teresa Fri, 04 Apr 2008 03:11:00 +0000 http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2008/03/31/freezing-meals/#comment-3033 Thanks for these great ideas! I've been making some freezer meals this week because my husband is having a major surgery next week. I need to have some stuff on hand when he gets out of the hospital! I like the idea of just freezing the meat. Right now I have chili in the freezer and shredded pork and pinto beans (for chalupas). Tomorrow I'm going to make spaghetti pie and chicken enchiladas. I also make homemade pesto, freeze it in ice cube trays and then pop them out, wrap them in plastic wrap and put in a ziploc bag. Then when I need it I take out one or two "cubes." Works great! Chopped onions and peppers in the freezer are handy, as well. Thanks for these great ideas! I’ve been making some freezer meals this week because my husband is having a major surgery next week.

I will cook up chicken, ground beef etc and keep it in the freezer. I also love having several marinade type main dishes in the freezer, like Korean Chicken, Honey Mustard chicken. This way we are less tempted to eat out when we have something we can pull out of the freezer. I do this too. I will cook up chicken, ground beef etc and keep it in the freezer.

It is pretty easy but probably not authentic. :) I will try to post how I do my french dips tonight. It is pretty easy but probably not authentic. :)

Been looking for a good one for something different to feed the family!<br/><br/>I just keep browned ground beef in the freezer to help with making quickie meals. The last few times that I did any other meat the family complained that the meat taste different than usual. So I just take and put all my chicken in raw but in meal size portions. :) do you have a good recipe for french dips??? Been looking for a good one for something different to feed the family!

While I do make some 'freeze ahead' meals, I'm more likely to freeze prepared meats to use as I want later on. This works especially well with ground beef. I just brown it up in the oven in big batches when it's on sale, then I divide it up. <br/>I like the idea of making chicken in a crockpot to freeze. I never thought to do that! I do this, too!

Then I know if I only have 1 package of cooked chicken left I need to plan to make more. If I didn't use a list I don't think I could remember what I did or didn't have.
