No special recipes here.
I make Planned Overs .... and freeze as single serve freezer meals.
(Planned Overs = When cooking, just make extra, ready to freeze.)

Most anything will freeze.
If you are ever hesitant, do one meal, eat it and then you will know for the next time.
I do all sorts of meals with meat/potatoes/veggies.
Likewise, the usual hashes, casseroles, etc. that are often done in this way.

If just rice or pasta, I put it into a snack size ziplock bag.
For meals and soups or mashed potatoes, I have some plastic containers that I freeze them in.
Once frozen, then I pop off the plastic and slide the frozen meal into a sandwich size baggie, and return to the freezer. Before filling, I write with a heavy marker on the plastic baggie what is inside.

With them all the same size, they sit nicely on their edges in rows in the pull out bin in my frig-freezer.
A quick flip through, and I can see what is there and decide on supper!


Makes for some pretty nice meals when I want a good supper ... and no work!
