Cooking and Freezing for Future Meals Ideas

lasagna, spaghetti, muffins, cassaroles/hotdishes.

I order from these people. They premake then I freeze and finish. Thought maybe their menu may have some ideas for you.

From your picture I assume you also add cheese to it...

I made rice and beans the other day- can be added to soup, hotdish, or used as burrito/taco filling!

I busted my *kitten* to earn that sexual harassment, and it's very much appreciated!

I use a vacuum sealer and do several proteins (salmon, chicken and lean beef) portioned and cooked & seasoned, then I make a couple starches (brown rice, cous cous, ww pasta) and a veggie or two (usually broccoli or squash), then I put them in portions into vacuum seal bags, and add a simple tomato sauce to them.

These are in the fridge or freezer for days I don't have time to make a good meal. They aren't always exciting, but my body appreciates them...

And I appreciate your body. Nice picture (sorry for the sexual harassment, but come on! You are asking for it with that picture!!!)

Was that comment intentionally rude?

i think he was talking about the packers they are the cheese heads lol

Um... everything!

Pork chops, any way you prepare them.
When you roast a chicken, pull off the leftover meat from the carcass and stick it in a bag in the freezer for chicken salad later.
Any kind of chicken.
Roast with veggies (potatoes and celery don't hold up too long in the freezer, but it should stay good for a month-ish before they get too smooshy)
Pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc.
Homemade chicken nuggets and tenders
Scrambled eggs

Really, almost anything can be frozen. Veggies that are watery or starchy will often get mooshy if you leave them in there for a long time, but I've stuck them in the freezer and brought them out within a couple of weeks and they're still all right. There's always the option of slightly undercooking your veggies before freezing, so they don't get gross during the thawing and reheating process. For some items (like pancakes, waffles, and chicken nuggets) you'll need to spread them out on a cookie sheet and freeze them that way before putting them into a package. Otherwise, they'll get stuck together and they'll get destroyed when you reheat them. Basically anything made of bread, or any kind of breading, needs to be frozen individually like that before you package it. Waxed paper is also your friend for things like pancakes to make them easy to separate if you just want to use one at a time.
