Hi,
I’m new to your sight and found you when searching for freezer recipes. I do freezer cooking once a month with my sister and law and we each double 8 dine recipes so that at the end of the day we end up with 16 diners. And of course none of this would get done with the kids around so our husbands take all the kids for the day until we’re done. It’s a lot of hard work but a blast when you’re working with someone and have good Christian tunes playing. It’s soooo rewarding!

I have started freezer cooking as well. I make about 5 meals at a time but also put on 2 crockpots (a double batch) of 2 kinds of soup while I am putting together the meals. This really lasts us a long time by the time. Thanks for your inspiration..

Now, I’m no expert and I am 9 months pregnant, so those two things change everything. However, what I’ve found works for me right now (key to mommying) is to just make large batches when I do cook or bake. The all day cooking is a little too much for me, so I make about 1 new meal a week, and the rest are pulled from the freezer. I’m sure this won’t change how you do things, but I thought I’d share just in case.

I can’t get the link to the sugar cookie dough! It brings me to a page that says web site not found!

I can’t get the sugar cookie dough to come up. Can I get this recipe somewhere else?
Thanks

I’m starting today, and hoping to finish up tomorrow. I’ve got a good list of items I need/want to eat this month, and decided to add on my own version of Life As Mom’s chicken enchilada casserole.

Here’s my list of what I’m doing:

I, too, was wondering about the stromboli– do you freeze before cooking, or bake and then freeze? It looks really yummy!

So, will you be posting recipes for things that you are cooking that don’t have a link? Like the meatballs and chicken? And those brown sugar twists sound yummy. Also, I’m new at freezing and cooking in bulk, so if you could also share at what stage to freeze items and how you store them (cheap or disposable pans, etc) that would be a big help.
I’m working on my recipes now!

That stromboli looks AMAZING…I’m done with my cooking for the month, but may need to add that one in somewhere.

I’m curious are you going to use brownulated sugar in the cocoa mix or just plain brown sugar? Also what’s your plan for packaging your cocoa mix and muffin mix as presents? Do you know where to get instant milk for a good price? Wal-Mart?
I’ve also used the pancake mix and cookie mix from nestle.com for gifts.

I was wondering how does the stromboli freeze and reheat? I’ve never tried this kind of stromboli before. We make one with pizza toppings and cheese and it freezes very well. Do the veggies get watery?

I can’t wait to see the end result of all your hard work. One quick question…how do you package the stromboli for freezing? Thanks!

Great ideas…I need to do this too.

When you make this stuff to freeze…at what point do you freeze? Do you just get everything ready and then freeze? Pull it out and cook? Or do you cook it first and then freeze?

This may sound silly, but I’m really curious.

Have a wonderful day. I”ll be following you all day.

You are too a superwoman!! You inspire me every day. I love that you put it out there for us to see. The freezer cooking has made a big difference at our house. I’m not as ambitious though. I do a little here and a little there. Cooking 3-4 meals at a time and freezing some. It really adds up fast! Thanks for all you do.

I’ve been baking Amish Friendship Bread (they know how to make the starters) every 10 days. It’s a big help to have some in the freezer already for when kids come home from school for a snack or when they need somethin quick for breakfast!

Amazing! I’m happy to get 2-3 meals in the freezer. Need to work on more! By the way…thanks for the link to the mac and cheese recipe. You posted it before, and I love, love it!
