best recipes to freeze?

I make batches of buffalo chicken in egg roll wrappers and freeze them, and wonton taco cupcakes. Just grab a couple out of the freezer in the morning and take to work for lunches.

Those both sound awesome.....recipes please??

I make homemade tortilla pizzas and freeze them with layers of wax paper between them.

I'm on a sodium restricted diet so I make my own pizza sauce, spread it on a tortilla, add low fat mozz. cheese, chopped red, yellow & orange bell peppers, seeded and chopped tomatoes and mushrooms. You can use any toppings!
I then freeze them on a big cookie sheet. Layer them on top of each other with the wax paper between them or slide frozen pizzas into gallon ziploc bags.

Bake at 415 degrees on a preheated cookie sheet for about 15 minutes, or til the center is heated through.

You can vary the caloric content by the size, type of tortillas you use and if you use meat or not. I love, love these little pizzas and they are perfect for lunch or dinner.

This is awesome. I am totally going to do this.

This white bean chicken chili recipe is awesome and freezes like a dream. I usually more or less double itmake a few changes:

- If you have time, use dried beans instead of canned - much easier on the sodium than the original recipe.
- I tend to double the beans...
- You can use fresh tomatillos and tomatoes instead of canned - againin, lower sodium, better flavor
- I don't fuss with fresh corn - use frozen!
- Add jalapenos or your favorite peppers to kick up the heat a notch

These butter bean burger patties freeze well too and are awesome on a but with lettuce and a smear of spicy hummmus. I add a couple of extra saltines and broil them instead of frying.

Just a couple of other tips:

- When I cook up a batch of beans, I often make extra and freeze them to add to soups and chilis later. They're a bit mushier after freezing, but it works well enough. They're also perfect for purees then (think refried beans or hummus)
- Your favorite pulled pork or pulled chicken will freeze well.
- I'll sometimes put a few big chicken breasts in the crock pot and let them cook with water all day, then shred the meat. Packaged into baggies and frozen, you've got quick cooked chicken for wraps, chicken salad, or aything that could use some cooked shredded chicken.

Good luck - enjoy!

Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Ice Cream

1/2 cup mashed Strawberries
2 Tablespoons Whipped Cream Cheese
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Torani Syrup (I used SF Vanilla)
1 cup Vanilla almond milk
2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1/4 cup chopped Strawberries

Mash strawberries, SF Syrup and cream cheese together. Mix together milk, protein, & strawberry cream cheese mixture. I used this gadget to mix it up. It makes it airy and lump free. Pour into ice cream maker. Follow your machine's instructions for freezing. 5 minutes before done add chopped strawberries. I put it in the freezer to set for an hour. Top with an optional squirt of Land o'Lakes Sugar Free Whipped Cream.
