Going back to work soon. High stress job and get home late, on some days with my husband. I have a few weeks off now and would like to stock up my freezer with dinner mains and sides that I can pull out and put in the oven. What freezes well????

I am pretty picky about frozen food but I find that lasagna, braised chicken thighs, brisket or pulled beef, meatballs, puréed soups ( no potato) and bean dishes (black beans for burritos, sweet and sour lentils, chickpeas in curry sauce etc. all freeze pretty well). Fish does not freeze well. I think my friends say quiche freezes well but I have never tried

There are many sites for freezer meals.

Most proteins, animal protein, freeze well, either pre seasoned and frozen raw.
Or cooked 80% and re heated.
With fish I pre season and freeze raw, all I have to do is thaw and bake. I've even went straight from freezer to oven, just added more cooking time.

Plain rice freezes nicely in zip lock bags.
Soups, stews, beans and chills.

Also, try to have on hand frozen veggies, they take minutes to grill under the broiler.


May I suggest every night you make dinner this week, make 3x, and freeze 2.
