Best meals to freeze

Posted on | July 11, 2008 | | Printer Friendly

I’ve started writing out a little list of recipes to make and freeze ahead so that we have a few solid weeks of meals at the ready without too many trips to the grocery store.  Hartmans + newborn = blah.   Then again, that’s what husbands are for, right?  Either way, I figure we’ll both be a bit zonked so the less we need to think about, the better.

So far, I’m definitely going to whip up my tweaked-out version of lasagna from Eat, Shrink and Be Merry,  sweet potato burritos, and maybe some meatballs.  But I need more ideas.  I’ve never been a casserole baker and suddenly I feel the need to fill the freezer with casseroles.  Casserole is Italian for “meals moms freeze”, right?

So, a little Googling led me to this thread on Serious Eats about the best meals to freeze, but maybe you have better ideas.  Maybe even a favourite casserole recipe?  If so, let me know!  I’d love to get some of these meals made during this welcome cool weather spell in Ottawa… because I know that Ottawa + August = no cooking.

    This is my *favourite* lasagna.

    PS - we have a new standalone freezerbox. In case you need some extra room…

    Yum! And I have a ton of basil!
    I may take you up on the freezer option… we’ll see how much ours can take. Made the burritos today… one recipe down!

    Brett thinks we should use the freezer at the new place for storing snowballs until next summer…so….it’s free for the taking really.

    And besides, that gives me an excuse to bring over frozen foods and visit!

    I still have the sweet potato burrito recipe from YEARS back when you posted on a blog about it, and it is still one of my favorite meals.
