Feel like sharing your favorite frozen soup staple, ellebelle? I'm crossing my fingers it's a "freeze in a bag and toss in the crockpot" kind of thing

carlsonbaby - Taco salad is one of my favorites!

Yes ma'am! It's a bit of work up front but I make a big batch of this recipe: www.justataste.com/baked-teriyaki-chicken-meatballs-recipe/


Usually I do it over the weekend and if I want to save some for another week I freeze 'em.  They're really good!  And I've swapped things around before (like if I don't feel like mincing ginger...which is always..(I opt for the ease of ground ginger)) and it still works just fine.

You can do either!  I have done both but found that freezing them cooked is less hassle. We eat them so quickly that they don't get freezer burn, and then it's more of just remembering to defrost them than have to defrost + cook.

inaya - Happy (early) birthday, J!

2redtulips I need to start cooking freezer meals. I have all this food I have cooked and frozen for quick meals when we need them. Instead of adding to the pile I need to start cooking them before they get freezer burnt.

[2redtulips]

taberbtb, These freezer meals are uncooked. I went to a food prep party hosted by a neighbor. I am hoping to make more on my own once I have used these, but I also want to get into the habit of freezing some already-cooked things like you do. It helps so much to have something on hand like that.
