My good friend, Rachel, has turned me onto making freezer meals. I have to say I was both excited and skeptical about the idea. Rachel's recipes are tried and true freezer meals that she's been doing for several years. She makes about 15 recipes in one day. All from scratch and *mostly* healthy meals. I had to adjust some of the recipes for my taste because they were a little heavy on starch, sugars and canned soups-- I don't really care much for.
We did a cooking day about six weeks ago and I have to say that I was shocked that I liked everything.
Out of 15 recipes I got about 23 dinners!!! It was really great when I was in a pinch to pull out a bag or casserole and just heat and eat.
We are doing another cooking day next week and I have added some of my own recipes, and took out a few of hers.
We are making:
Spaghetti Sauce*
Chicken Packets
Chicken Tetrazini
Orange Chicken
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Coconut Chicken Strips*
Beef Enchiladas
Chicken Enchiladas*
Calico Beans
Bean Soup with Ham*
* means these are my recipes. I have frozen some of these before but some will be an experiement.
The really fun thing is we have some other friends and aquantinces who want us to make them some small freezer meals. So we are going to make extra for them, and we are getting paid for our time!
