1) Butterhorns. These are awesome to go along with a meal. Or even to eat for breakfast. YUM.
2) Chicken Spaghetti. One of the few "casseroles" I frequently make and freeze. Ree Drummond, of course, will not lead you astray.
3) Blueberry Pancakes or Banana Pancakes. I never would have thought that pancakes would taste good after they'd been frozen and then reheated, but it's true. They taste great....sooooo much better than buying frozen waffles or the like!
4) Chili. Soup in general freezes excellently. Another favorite is FishMama's Cheddar Vegetable Soup.
5) Freezer Breakfast Burritos. My husband loves it when I make these because they are a quick on-the-go breakfast for him. The fillings can be altered to your preference!
6) Blueberry Zucchini Bread. We love this bread in the summertime when zucchini and blueberries are in abundance. It is so moist.
7) Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Coffee Cake. This is not one of those healthy, everyday sort of recipes. This past Christmas I gave it away to family as Christmas presents!
8) Pizza Dough. Make sure you make this recipe successfully start to finish before you freeze it (so that you know you have the yeast/rising part down). We love this recipe for pizza dough, and it can be frozen after kneading. When you thaw it, it will rise.
9) Enchiladas or Taco Meat. Simple, frugal, hunger-appeasing.
10) Lasagna. This was one of the 1st freezer recipes I ever tried, and it's a keeper!
I'm excited to get back into the swing of freezer cooking once all the beginning of pregnancy symptoms subside...

Wonderful looking recipes. Thanks for sharing, Alicia! If I ever manage to do some freezer cooking, I will refer to this list!
ReplyDeleteI need to do some freezer cooking for days when I spend the majority of my time doing stuff outside (gardening), or freezing/canning. I didn't think of it until yesterday :/ I DO love to make a batch of pancakes and freeze the leftovers! I re-heat ours in the toaster - they have a better "fresh" texture that way.
ReplyDeleteI'm making the burritos again this week. Yum! I'm going to try out PW's chicken spaghetti. I forgot about that recipe.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'm hungry while reading so it all looks amazing! (hurry home husband, I need dinner). I've had a hankering for some chili.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! This is a wonderful list!! I go in spurts w/the freezer cooking. And the frozen pancake thing?..I do it all the time, my kids love it!
ReplyDeleteI love freezer cooking too! You'll probably get a lot of traffic to this post. My OAMC Top 10 gets the most hits. Sounds like you have some winners!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and ideas, especially love the breakfast taquito idea, I do something similar when I have a large batch of beans I always make some bean and cheese burritos, love them.
ReplyDeleteI agree wonderful list and ideas. They all look so great. I am sorry to hear that you are still feeling sick in the mornings. I pray that will pass real soon!
ReplyDeleteI so want to do some freezer cooking, thanks so much for this list. Couple things... :) What do you put your meals in to freeze? I don't use aluminum and haven't found anything else to freeze meals in. I know I can freeze burritos and such in zip-locks, but what about casseroles? Thanks so much!
