Today Dan and I are in the kitchen together, cooking some freezer meals for our family. We haven't cooked like this in years, but life has gotten hectic recently, and I'm finding it harder to get home-cooked meals on the table every night. I'm excited to have some healthy meals in the freezer to pull out when the day gets away from me.
Thanks for watching!
Our Chicken Enchiladas were inspired by this recipe:

I've had good results by lining glass or even metal pans with foil then freezing the food. After it freezes you can removed the food from the pans and wrap well for longer freezer storage, freeing up your baking pans and also eliminating the risk of broken glass in your freezer. When you're ready to cook, you can put your frozen food back in the same pans or baking dishes to thaw and finishing cooking. Hope this helps!

It is VERY common to have garlic bread toasted and sometimes with cheese also, then serve with most any Italian dish. It's the best part! I'm from Florida and I don't know anyone that doesn't use toasted garlic bread. Usually broiled in oven till golden. With lots of butter! I loved your video today! And I loved seeing you and your hubby together cooking - fun! I know some people that put up freezer meals line their container with foil then once the meal has frozen, they remove it and wrap it well and put it back in freezer. That way all the containers aren't stuck in the freezer until time to cook.

Marriage is a partnership. Husbands and wives need to learn each other's jobs, you never know when something might happen to one of you and the other will have to pick up the slack. I know lots of men that spend rainy days in the kitchen with their wives learning to cook or dabbling with supervision, and wives that whip up easy meals so they can spend time learning what jobs their husband does. Partners!!! Everybody starts out in the kitchen as an amateur, but the humor and inside jokes that come from husbands and wives spending time together in the kitchen strengthens your bond, builds lasting memories, and just can't be beaten. Partners!!!

Your friend was right about not adding oils or butter to pastas. But you need to salt the water really good. Not a fan of celery, but know folks that are, and that was an incredible amount of celery that you added. Absolutely make a thick sauce, the more meat, the more gooder it's gonna be. I made a white chicken lasagna the same way for years. It actually contains a batch of my famous spinach artichoke dip off in there, which everybody loves. Then one day decided to add caramelized onions to the layers, and it was incredible. There's absolutely nothing wrong with freezing in glass. You can freeze in jars or casserole dishes. Have frozen things uncovered to allow expansion, then cover.

We just call it garlic bread. It is a common accompaniment to pasta dishes here in the USA. Take along loaf of french bread,slice it lengthwise. Take butter and whip it with garlic to make a spread.Spread it all over the bread on both sides.Wrap them in foil and put them in the oven to toast. Cut into slices and serve. Delicious!

I grew up and continue eating garlic toast with Italian food or soups or stew. We usually just put bread in the toaster, butter it and then sprinkle with seasoned garlic salt. Super easy and less fat the store bought!

I'm in Virginia, USA and we always eat garlic toast with pasta dishes. Never add oil to the water when boiling pasta. The sauce won't stick to the pasta. Only add salt to the water and stirring will keep it from sticking to each other when cooking.

Kiwi's (NZers) most certainly eat garlic bread baked in the oven. We slice bread sticks into inch slices and smother with garlic butter and bake wrapped in baking paper/foil for 20 minutes and it's absolutely delicious with lasagna or by itself. The best part is wiping up the meat sauce with the garlic bread!

I always make Garlic cheese bread with Pasta dishes, casseroles, and some one pot rice dishes. I also make double the amount I need once a week when I cook a dinner so I can freeze a meal. That way, I build up a few dishes in the freezer.

Use a baguette, slice through to almost the bottom, on the diagonal / make some garlic butter, spread this onto either side of the cut, wrap the baguette in foil, place into a low oven about last 20 mins of your lasagna cooking time. Delish yum.

Being Italian myself we always ate garlic bread with all of our pasta dishes, let’s just say garlic bread was a staple in our household lol!
