Freezable Recipes

Pidders89

Hey all,

So next week i am going to try and mix things up to help me lose the last few pounds i need to and am going to have my biggest meal at lunch and a smaller meal for dinner.

I am going to need to be able to make them on the weekend so i can heat them up in the works microwave each day.

Does anyone know any suitable recipes for this?

Thanks

What about making chilli or something similar....you can take microwaveable rice along with you to work, if you need it, or just have the chilli. Also, soup works great frozen and microwaved back to life. A nice hearty soup will keep you full and if you need to eat some bread with it, then you can easily take that to work with you, too.

Mince is very versatile...
Can also make a batch of spag bol...or chilli! Or even make cottage pie and freeze it.

There's also healthy curries

I am making Crock pot Chicken tacos today and then will have the left overs for my lunch tomorrow.

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 package low sodium taco seasoning
1 - 16 oz jar of your favorite salsa

Mix all ingredients in the crock pot and cook for 6-8 ours on low (mine takes about 7 1/2 hours for chicken to be done). When the chicken is done it should shred easily with a fork.

Chicken mixture is about 130 calories.

I use La Tortilla Factory Large whole wheat tortillas that are low carb, high fiber (they have 80 calories, 3g fat, 18 carbs/12 fiber and 8g of protein per tortilla). Then you can add lettuce, fat free sour cream or what ever else you want to make it taste how you like it. My Taco's (1 big taco) normally comes out to about 250 calories and fills me up completely. Tonight I am going to add some fat free re-fried beans to mine to help up my calorie count a bit.

My kids love this meal and it is easy because you just toss and wait for it to be done.
