But here's some ideas to get you started:<br /><br />- Turkey Bolognese Sauce (Feb. under "Few Hours of Cooking" post) Include a box of pasta so she can thaw the sauce and put it on the pasta.<br /><br />- Chicken Enchilades (Feb. under "BRAT" post)You can use Press'n'Seal to individually wrap them so she can pull out however many she wants.<br /><br />- Chicken Gumbo (under "BRAT" too) This is really delicious and freezes great.<br /><br />-I'm obsessed with freezing soups (any of the ones under my label "Soup" will work.<br /><br />-Turkey Chili is my all time favorite...it's delicious with tortilla chips (Jan. under "Morph it")<br /><br />And if you want to include a treat:<br />- Any kind of quick bread like Banana (Feb. under "Something Sweet" or Zucchini freezes great.<br /><br />- Cookie dough (April under "Random Things") Roll them into balls and freeze them so she can bake as many as she wants<br /><br />I hope that gives you at least a couple of ideas! Baked Ziti is great frozen as is most other cheesy Italian dishes (stuffed shells, lasagna, etc)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089048004740975222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922292285609787428.post-91006055127577263462009-05-21T21:28:12.700-04:002009-05-21T21:28:12.700-04:00Ali -

Newest question - I have a friend who just had a baby, and I want to make a few meals to freeze for her. What are some of your favorite freezer meals/recipes? Maybe you can tag them if they are already on the blog under Freezer/Freezing?

I've considered doing it myself once we buy an extra freezer for the garage. How awesome would it be to have so many meals ready at a moment's notice?? Please fill me in after you try it and forward me the info. I'm so glad you liked the lime chicken...I made it for Aimee and she thought it was great! :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089048004740975222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922292285609787428.post-1922106390333134392009-05-02T17:49:00.000-04:002009-05-02T17:49:00.000-04:00Steph,

However, I'm sure there are ways to freeze the dough...at least for the rolls. I don't think you can freeze batter for muffins (but not sure). French and Italian Bread freeze great. In fact, when I had a Christmas party this past December, I bought all my bread the day before, stuck it in the freezer, and then took it out before the party (for bruschetta and such). It worked perfectly.<br />Please let me know how you like the strawberry dessert..I loved it!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089048004740975222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922292285609787428.post-72848792473287704122009-05-02T15:54:00.000-04:002009-05-02T15:54:00.000-04:00My friend just sent me a link to "30 Days of Meals...My friend just sent me a link to "30 Days of Meals," which looks like several meals that are made at once, divided into portions and then frozen. I think it makes about 23 home-cooked, natural ingredient meals at a time in all different genres of food - Italian, beef, chicken, crab, ethnic. There's an accompanying spreadsheet that tells the ingredients by total portion you'll need and also the # of meals each item makes. It looks great! I am going to try it with 2 friends and possibly for a family in need at our church so I will let you know how it goes and forward it over if you are interested in it. I am very intrigued. And BTW - the lime chicken was a huge hit last night!! :)The Martin Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380820582075318566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922292285609787428.post-34507345608029230472009-05-02T11:47:00.000-04:002009-05-02T11:47:00.000-04:00Also - found this awesome new website - challengin...Also - found this awesome new website - challenging me to cook/eat/bake healthier! www.theeducatedplate.comStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208441574957302008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922292285609787428.post-56046941247438603612009-05-02T11:46:00.000-04:002009-05-02T11:46:00.000-04:00I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS POST.

Question - when you say "baked goods" (breads, muffins, rolls), do you freeze the DOUGH or the finished baked product? I guess both? Bread really freezes ok? Even french or italian bread?<br /><br />Also - this weekend/early this week I am going to try out the Strawberry Bar things. If they are even a fraction as good as I think they will be, can I use it as my Tasty Treat Thursday? I'll link it back to you.<br /><br />SStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208441574957302008noreply@blogger.com
