This thread is making me hungry. I am also one of those people who make large quantities of food and freeze them. Some example are:
Spagetti sauce- I spend one afternoon making a large batch of homemade spagetti sauce with lots of meatballs.
meals- spagetti, meatball hoagies.
I take 2 freezer containers and put about 12 meatballs covered in sauce in each for 2 future meals of meatballs hoagies (I have a family of 4 but the kids don't eat hoagies so they each get 2 meatballs served on toothpicks). Cut hoagie in half lengthwise but not all the way through, put 4 meatballs inside, cover with sauce and mozerella, bake until toasty.
The rest of the sauce goes into containers too for future meals of spagetti or lasagna.
Chicken- I buy the 3.5 Tyson frozen skinless boneless chicken breasts. I defrost and marinate them all in italian dressing and then grill them all.
Meal #1- grilled chicken, baked potatoes (time-baked in oven while I'm at work), salad
extra meals- chicken divan, chicken enchiladas, chicken quesedillas, or just dice the chicken and put on skewers and serve with bbq, sweet and sour, or ranch- my kids love anything served on a stick.
Ground beef- I cook 4 pounds at a time then rinse and freeze into 4 freezer bags.
meals- chili, tacos, spagetti
chuck roast- meal #1 cook large roast in the crock pot, serve with mashed potatoes, gravy, & corn.
extra meals- bbq sandwiches or bbq potatoes (large baked potatoe topped with cheese, sour cream, butter if you like, bbq meat, and thinly sliced scallions.
easy kid favorites at my house-
chicken on a stick with dips, veggie, fresh fruit.
grilled steak with skewer of sliced fruits.
chili in a sundae cup- I saw this one on food network one day- my whole family loves it. Presentation is the key. Take a water goblet or glass ice cream cup like you would get in a soda shop, fill 2/3 way with cooked wide egg noodles, cover with homemade chili, top with cheese, dollop of sour cream, scallions, and stick a couple of fritos on the top corner to look like a straw, serve with extra fritos.
quesedillas- butter outsidd of 2 tortillos, fill with finely dice cooked chicken or ground beef and cheese, brown both sides like a grilled cheese sandwich, serve with salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream.
Please everybody share more recipes. I feel like I make the same things over and over too.
