Hi ladies.
In the next few moths, I am planning on prepping our freezer with a whole bunch of homemade heat and eat or ready prepped throw-them-in-the-crockpot meals.
I have seen many links on Pinterest, but a lot of those are US and I'm not sure they translate well to our way of eating.

What are your favourite freezer meals?

I also make savoury mince & freeze in different sizes, cause can then be used with pasta or baked potato, in toasted sandwiches or wraps, with veges etc.

Also burrito/taco meat (mince, chicken or lamb) is great to make double & freeze half for a second easy meal original.gif

Hope some of these favs of mine help u with ideas original.gif
Also: I just limited onion,peas, cabbage, spices in meals initially when breastfeeding until I knew if they'd ate bub wind (did with first, not second)

Are you talking "homecooked and divided into tupperware" freezer meals, or "bought from the supermarket" freezer section?

If you're talking the latter, the only decent spaghetti bolognaise is the McCains. That's all the help I've got LOL

I love weight watchers lasagne, i think we are talking homemade here, but there's something about that boxed meal, about $4 on special!

Lasgna freezes really well.

Also muffins, savory or sweet, I keep a bunch in the freezer for when Im running late, just pop one inthe mircowave for 30 secs and theres a steamy lovely muffin, like straight out of the oven.

Any of your mince dishes, spag bog, meatballs, savory mince, taco mince.

I do homemade sausage rolls and freeze them, just defrost in m/wave and put under griller if you want crispy pastry.

I also do homemade chiken rolls with any leftover BBQ chicken - hot dog rolls, squirt of mayo, sprinkle of chicken seasoning and then the chicken. Defrosts well in m/wave.

Any of your chicken tonite type things freeze well. Im not too keen on white rice that has been frozen (perfer to cook that fresh) but brown rice freezes well.

I freeze a lot of meals. Sometimes I will make a larger batch of whatever we are having for dinner one night or other times just the leftovers.

Spaghetti Bolognaise
Lasagne
Shepherds Pie
Soups
Curry Chicken
Apricot curry chicken
Beef stroganoff
Any casserole type meal
Taco/burrito/nachos mince/beef


Cooked chicken snitzels freeze really well. When we are having snitzels we made a double batch and freeze half. That way on late nights we just need to re-heat it or even just eat it cold. Then we either serve it with vegies or salad or do a chicken burger.
