There’s a Care Calendar out there calling my name, so I’m racking my brain trying to come up with a good freezer meal and coming up with… nothing.
What do you recommend? The ideal meal would be something easily reheated in the oven (or even the microwave), moderate in the way of carbs, and peanut/ tree-nut free. I think other folks are going to have the Italian angle covered, so I’d like to stay away from the lasagna/ baked pasta arena.
Any ideas?

Let’s see, remember your Singing Chicken? I make a few batches of that at once, then put the other portions in freezer bags. Nukes up in 5 minutes. You can pre-freeze rice too.
I take a chuck roast and put it in the crock pot before I got to bed with one envelope of of onion soup mix and a T. mustard powder. When I get up, I shred it, put it in a freezer bag. When I want to serve it, I heat it up, serve it on torpedo rolls with au jus for French Dip sandwiches.You can do the same with pulled pork.
Same with beef stew-crock pot overnight, freezer bag, nuke to serve.
I make homemade chicken fingers. Meatballs.
Quiche-I make quiche filling, put it in a feezer bag. I also pre-freeze pie crust dough. One 5# bag of AP flour, 3# shortening, 3 C, ice water, 2 T. salt. Mix it all with your hands in a really BIG bowl. Make 16 balls and wrap in freezer paper. I put them in a big 2 1/2 gallon bag and when I need them I take it out to thaw for a few hours and use.
I buy cod fillets, then I make a topping out of soft bread crumb and thyme, dill and put it in a sandwich bag with the fish. When I’m ready, I thaw everything, drizzle the fish with lemon juice, then the bread crumb, and spray with a bit of olive oil cooking spray and I bake for like 20 minutes.
Need more ideas?
Homemade soup can be put in freezer bags…
With all this stuff, lie the bag flat and squeeze out as much air as possible so you can stack the bags in your freezer.
