Freezer Cooking

This week I will be making extra meals for my freezer with 2 friends of mine. It is always nice to have meals already assembled and ready to pop in my oven or throw on the grill at a moments notice! Here are the entrees we are planning on preparing:
Cheese Filled Pasta Shells
Tator Tot Casserole
Marinade for meat (to make fajitas, kabobs, or just for grilling)
Chili (for chili dogs, to put on top of potatoes, or just to eat)
Green Chili Enchiladas
Pepperoni Calzones
Cheesy Quiche

We will make 3 of each entree to end up with 21 meals. Not quite a month's worth, but I just use these to fill in when we are gone a lot during the day. When I plan out my meals for the week, I look at my schedule. On any day that I know we will be gone a lot, I will plan to use an entree from the freezer to save me time in the kitchen. Otherwise, I cook each day, making sure I look at the menu plan the night before so I can take any meat out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge.
With warmer days upon us, I am finding that I am not desiring to be in the hot kitchen! So I am planning on a lot of crock-pot or grill days to keep the heat out. I am also researching recipes that are light and cool. When I come across some good ones, I'll pass them along to you all!
I'll share the results of our cooking day when we're done. Have a great Monday!

When I had my last baby I had enough meals in my freezer that I didn't have to cook for 6 months. Boy was it hard to start cooking again after I ran out of food in the freezer. It's time for me to start filling the freezer again.

Something I found handy to have around was browned hamburger with onions.

I have to say I am enjoying reading your entries on food...what you are planning to make sounds so nice - you will have to post some of those recipes. I'm doing up our food budget menu this week & going shopping with $50.00 to see if we can do it. I tell you it has been alot of fun in our house as I've involved hubby in the quest also. I've been on the phone to my girlfriend in Melbourne discussing it also. In regards to the soap balls Lux make soap flakes and you just purchase a box from the super market over here. have a good freezer day...

how enjoyable
