Yesterday on the Everyday Italian, Giada had a show on freezer meals:
Giada’s sister has a new baby. Giada shows her sister how to prepare meals you can freeze ahead, from appetizers to desserts, good for busy schedules or when you are just on the go.
Since I am an avid freezer-person, this show caught my attention. I am usually not a big Food Network fan because 1. I hate watching delicious food cooked without the ability to eat it and 2. I find very little on the channel that is practical-i.e., healthy, economical, can feed 8+, you know the criteria that has to fit in meals 7 nights a week. Although I have to say I find most Italian recipes perfect for freezing (sorry Giada) such as Baked Ziti, Manicotti, Baked Rigatoni, soup, and meatballs. Then I make marinara and can it.
