Excuse the far from catchy title. Now that it is getting cooler out, I would like to freeze some food for quick meals. They could a whole meal (might just need a quick salad or.. ) or just help save time/jump start getting dinner on the table/less cleanup on busy days .....
The thing is I usually just cook for just myself so a whole try of baked ziti is not going to work (of course I could freeze in smaller containers) but certain foods just don't seem to translate that well for individual servings and small households. And more importantly, I think I lack the creativity and just seem to freeze that same ol' thing.
So there is freezing soup/chili (I love having soup on hand), freezing cooked rice for a quick side/stirfry, pasta sauce, perhaps meatballs, maybe some slices of banana bread for a snack. I usually have individual boneless chicken frozen, maybe a small portion of ground beef.
What are your favorite things and/or recipes that you like to freeze? Or things from the supermarket that you like to have in the freezer too? And feel free to post whether it is suited for individual servings and/or it makes enough to serve a group (since we all have different needs, might need a dish that makes a lot of food, or just want to have some individual meals, and often something can be sized up or down etc).
Thanks.
