I am going to try to start making things up to have.. some ready to eat things that will help me get away from prepackaged things that I hate buying. Like my daughter likes to havea waffle for bfast sometimes so I want to make my own and freeze them.. ready to toast. um i found a recipe somewhere for making your own bakiung mix.. kind of like bisquick. So what kinds of things do you do?
Does anyone have a recipe for chicken nuggets..LOL i know chicken tenders and stuff and those are good. If you make them right away and eat. Is there a way to make something ahead so I don't have to cook them like for a quick lunch or something.
Thanks!
I do this allot. When I make a big meal I will intentially double the amount so I can freeze some. I have placed cooked noodles in the freezer to reheat (spaghetti works well and I freeze it in one portion amounts in freezer ziplock bags). I also do this with meatballs. I make them like mini-meatloafs and cook them. Meatballs are great for little ones. Make sure they are completely cook and freeze. (I found placing them in a flat plastic container to freeze works best then I move them to a larger ziplock once each individual meatball is frozen). You can then just take out a few at a time.
I also do the waffles. I place them on a cookie sheet to freeze then transfer to a large container. It's great for a warm meal rather than cereal. Plus you can add carrots to the batter or apples (all shredded).
These are just to name a few.

You can freeze pancakes, too. But I never get a satisfying result with freezing ahead for some reason, I guess I just don't know what I"m doing. If cutting back on cooking time at the end of the day is the problem, I usually use the crock pot instead.
I did a lot of pureed veggies when the kids were little, but now, I feel like I'm always rushing at 3pm, thinking.... hmm, what in the world are we going to eat tonight??

I freeze cooked meatloaf- (make in mini loaf pans for individual meatloaves for everyone.. kids love it)
I also freeze a lot of soups and stews I make for later times.

Love Lives On Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.
