Seeking Healthy Freezable Recipes

I make crustless veggie quiche and taco turkey muffins. About 30 cals for the quiche and 70 cals for the taco muffins. Both of these recipes can be made into muffins or in a casserole dish? I'm playing with a low carb chile that is really yummy. G.turkey enchiladas with low carb, w.w.tortillas are killer too.

A fast recipe is Jiffy corn bread muffins with (anything) bacon, cheese, diced spinach, green onion and flax( and i add some splenda too) not super healthy for me, but quick and yummy, freeze well, great any meal type of food.My kids love all these recipes.

I also crock pot a couple pounds of fresh chicken ( don't add anything) bake a tray of tilapia , and brown a couple pounds of ground turkey. I weigh out 4 oz portions and put most of it in the freezer so I have fast, healthy food. Especially good proteins for a salad or in a light wrap.

Having single serving things in the fridge is great too. Light yogurts, hard boiled eggs, light string cheese, pre measured nuts, applesauces, packed fruits and veggies with dip, my own " lunchables", etc....also pre making containers of my salad dressing for the week is a must for me.

I agree with you, that if its quick to grab, we are less likely to run through fast food.
Hope this helps. I can send specific recipes if you want. Just try one new thing a week, and pretty soon your whole menu is transformed.

You have little ones, so you need to keep it simple.
You are doing great,

I make a lot of freezable meals and get a lot of recipes off the BBC Good Food website. Check out my blog for some ideas - ameliasfooddiary.wordpress.com

I freeze a lot, portioned out to what you will need at a meal. Chili, stews, roast chicken that i shred, patties, chicken fingers, soups, baked beans, plain cooked beans so they are ready to throw into a salad or stew, rice....

I love burritos and I make my own so I can freeze them.

Cous Cous, baked chicken, peppers and salsa, spinach tortilla, whatever else- you wrap them in cling wrap and then aluminum foil and then re-heat them like you would any burrito (usually 1.5-2 minutes). Complete time saver for me.

I also often have soups.

Good planning, OP!

When I lived by myself, I would cook up a lot at a time (I dont' know how to cook for just one, or even just 2, lol) and make my own frozen dinners since I'd get tired of it before I'd finish all the leftovers! Soups and stews freeze well, but depending on how long you plan on freezing them, you might want to vacuum seal or seal off the top with plastic wrap, to keep air out (freezer burn). Chili freezes too, but I found sometimes the beans exploded, lol. Now I'll just cook up extra protein (crock pot, pressure cooker, grill) and either use up any leftover veggies with it, or toss in some frozen veggies. I've frozen cooked, mashed sweet potatoes - bought them at the holidays while they were on sale.

Oooh! Google OAMC - once a month cooking. There are tons of recipes, and it's all stuff to freeze for later, or you make a double batch and freeze the 2nd batch, etc.
