@@hayleeperez3486 I've made a couple lasagnas, 4 shepherd's pies, chicken and dumplings, beef tips, a few different types of stew, chili, a couple soups, breakfast burritos, and bean and cheese burritos. Those all freeze well and are good comfort food type of meals. I made a bunch of lactation cookies too, and I definitely noticed a huge difference in milk production when I ate them regularly. I think I used the recipe on the Simply Real Moms blog for chocolate chip lactation cookies, which call for oats, flax, and brewer's yeast to help milk supply. I changed the recipe a little bit to suit my tastes and added extra flax and some other things, but it's a good recipe to start with if you're not sure what kind you're wanting to make!

I made a ton of freezer meal this summer right before I had my son so I wouldn’t have to worry about cooking while recovering from my 4th c-section. They would have worked out great if almost all of them didn’t need to be cooked in the oven and if the weather hadn’t spiked up into the high 90’s the day I had my son. 🤦‍♀️ For the most part I just make double when making things like spaghetti sauce, refried beans, chicken broccoli rice, chili or anything else that freezes well. Hope you and Dave have a great vacation!

@KC-zn1mg 4 жыл бұрын

Jessica Vogan we invested in an air fryer that is also a toaster oven and can act as a mini oven and it’s perfect for summer cooking. If your cooking for a family it might take longer just because you can’t fit a big pan in it and you’d need to do multiple batches cooking but it’s worth it to not have to heat up the house

I have three words for you when it comes to freezer meals, Six Sisters Stuff. I have been using several of their recipes for freezer meals for the last several months. I love to have them in my freezer and ready to be made so that we can have healthy meals fast anytime. I love that my kids or husband can quickly make them on nights that I’m not home, or when I’m home and don’t have a lot of time or energy to make something. Making freezer meals also comes in handy if you find a bulk deal that is too good to pass up. A few weeks ago I found boneless skinless chicken at my store in a 40lb box for .98 cents a pound. I felt confident I could get the box and not just freeze it, but, put it into meals that could be prepared quickly and easily. I love that I was able put them together when I found that amazing deal! I also know I am more likely to use it since I can just pop it into a meal plan, then set it and almost forget it, since it goes in a crockpot or instant pot. If I’d put it in the freezer as just chicken I know I have less chance of working up my enthusiasm to actually get it out and making it up. If that makes sense. I better go make some dinner now...lol! 😆 As always thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip with your sweetheart.

I love keeping 5-15 freezer meals in the... well... the freezer! But I don't normally have days when I make freezer meals. We are a family of 3, so it's pretty easy to just make a double batch of something and put a meal (or 2) in the freezer. Easy things I freeze are hamburger patties, poor man's steak with mushroom gravy, enchiladas, pulled pork, shepherd's pie... I also like to marinade a bunch of steaks, lightly grill them, bag them in meal portions, then when I want to use them I bake them for 30 min. They are so delicious and easy! I will occasionally assemble a bunch of chimichangas or pizzas as well. I like to use freezer meals when I am sick or recovering from being sick.... which has happened way too often the last while in my opinion. Having them on hand makes it easier for me to feel free to go help a friend last minute, and still be able to serve a home cooked meal to my family. They are also handy for sharing with friends who just need a boost.

Then when my husband asks what I think about for dinner, I can just point him to the freezer and continue to be a potato. I'm tackling the pesto meatballs tonight, probably going to have some of them tonight with dinner, freeze the rest. Super excited for that too. I made your no knead bread dough last night, hopefully I bake it properly today, then we can have spaghetti and crunchy bread. Clearly you've inspired me to go back to food prep, so thanks for that.

I have figured out that my family loves homemade breakfast bowls and because of this virus I’m doing college from home so I like to do freezer meals to freeze large meals so that they don’t waste such as my chili, veggie soup, 15 bean soup etc. and individual servings of homemade breakfast bowls. All I do is cut up some potatoes real small and roast them with a little tiny drizzle of oil and some light seasoning, dice up some cooked bacon or fry some ground sausage up into real small pieces, scramble some eggs with some of the same seasoning from the eggs and throw some cheese in with the eggs when I mix them before they cook then throw everything into my containers or ziplock bags in individual servings with some more cheese on top. This can also be a filling for a breakfast burrito. When time to serve all I do is heat it up in the microwave. Sometimes it is also used for work breakfasts because my father goes into work so early that he eats breakfast and lunch there. The supper freezer meals are used for busy days so that all we gotta do is dump into a crockpot and forget about it
