Freezer Meals

[awkwardpenguin]

Who does them?  Want to share some of your favorite recipes?  Tips and tricks?

I've been putting a few meals in the freezer, but I've been having a hard time convincing myself to take them out.  I want to save them for a time I REALLY don't have time to cook.

Ditto cookiemonster on the freezing in pan.

I was doing a lot of freezer meals for a while and would like to get back into it. An awesome site for recipes is onceamonthmom.com She cooks one day per month, for like 4 hours and awesome doc's with recipes, shopping lists, and instructions.

I do a lot of chicken (legs, breasts, thighs) with a marinade in a freezer bag. It's easy to pull out in the morning to defrost and all you have to think about are the sides.

I also premake potpies and freeze them uncooked.

rice and pasta freeze well. When we make chicken or meat ( usualy too much) we are vegetarians but the kids eat meat - we freeze it. So pulled pork or pulled chicken we freeze the left overs. If you need small quantities you can use a muffin tin and then scoop out small portions

This is the smartest thing EVER.
