To all you foodies - quick ideas for making "large amounts food and freezing" eg chilli etc

[babysopiniontakesover]

The only ones I can think of are chilli and chicken/mush/sauce etc etc.

Any ideas and non too exotic or hard to make please.........thanks in advance!!

Spag bol
Beef casserole, in fact any casserole
Def chilli, much nicer reheated IMO
Rattatouie
Soups
Anything with a sauce works well I think.
Lasagne
Shep Pie
Fish pie if fish fresh

minestrone soup

rissoto, but add the cream when you re-heat it and make sure the rice is cooked til tender

fish cakes

Just checked my freezer. I have homemade burgers (beef and turkey) and meatballs in there too.

I freeze anything and everything.

When pg I made sooooo much stuff ? sausage casserole, chicken casserole, spag bol, chilli, cottage pie, sweet & sour chicken, meatballs ?n? sauce, anything and everything. So much easier for those first few weeks after dd was born.

For dd now I cook off whole packs of sausages and freeze them in twos, also little portions of mincey/chickeny meals when making a big batch.

Thanks everyone esp skyler great ideas and songbird - thats the idea I am about to "pop" so to speak in 2 weeks and I think it is some sort of nesting cos I cannot stop cooking.

Just done another 10 meal batch of chilli.....getting bored of chilli now though so looking for inspiration!!! anything to keep up going through those strange first few weeks...........

No problem. Good Luck with the new baby. You will be grateful for your nesting instincts. I panic bought tinned tomatoes during my nesting phase. We had enough for a year

Tinned tomatoes is on my list - why?????

most of the ones I do have been mentioned

except:
bacon and leek in a cheese sauce (add mash to top when defrosted)
pasta sauce
lentil and nut loaf

don't forget to freeze cakes!

Can you freeze baking/cakes/muffins aswell??
