Hey Everyone!

I am going to be starting medical school in August and am trying to plan out freezer friendly meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner). Luckily, I found some great recipes so far (Indian Lentils and Lamb, Oatmeal in cupcake form, Breakfast tacos, etc).

I would like to freeze approx 40 meals before school begins...tough task but it has to get done. Let me see your BEST freezer friendly meals!! My only request, no dairy (milk, cheese, sourcream...dairy allergy here) or a dish that could be substituted or done without.

Thanks again!!

    For breakfast: egg, and whatever burritos. In winter my husband makes egg and squash and cheese and sometimes blackbean burritos. In summer, egg and whatever's in season burritos. He will freeze a week or so worth. VERY handy. And, of course, tasty and NUTRITIOUS.

    ps: good for you for thinking ahead!!

    Awesome work!
    I'm going into Biomedical Science next year, with the ambition of getting into Medical school. I think that pre-cooking meals is a wonderful idea!

    You could always try freezing lots of soups? They usually have a long freezer-life. :)

    Hey there, congratulations on getting in! Sometimes that's the hardest part (Well that's what everyone says to you, but when you're actually here - getting in seems like a breeze)

    Whilst I don't really have any freezer meals for you I just wanted to say that sometimes it's good to take a break from working and cook a fresh decent meal, it's homely and if you're living with others is a great way to socialise!

    I'm pretty sure the system is different over in America (i'm in the UK) but good luck at med school, you're going to love it!
