Meals to Freeze

[Seekrit]

I know, I'm WAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of myself as normal.
Can anyone let me know of some recipes easy to make, freeze and reheat?
Well they don't REALLY have to be that easy to make... just able to be frozen and easy enough to reheat.

Spag Bog, Lasagne, Curried Sausages and Rice....

Hmmm thats all in our freezer at moment, if I think of any more i'll get back to you!

Oh maybe not the Curried Sausages if your going to breast feed, I know DS didnt like it!

All of the above, plus any sorts of casseroles and soups are easy to freeze and reheat. Another quick easy meal that we always have on hand is fresh ravioli in the freezer and a jar of pasta sauce in the cupboard, boil up the raviloi, heat the sauce, voila, dinner

Cottage pie+ shepards pie. I'v got tonnes of the stuff in my freezer!

lasagne and spag bol freeze brilliantly as has already been suggested!

Vegies freeze up okay too so at least you've got something healthy to just grab and heat to go along with whatever else you're having and not have to worry aboud peeling chopping and cooking it all!

desert wise is you like tapioca that freezes well and rice pudding probably would too1

I made a batch of pikelets (with sultanas in them) last night and froze half of them. They should make a nice snack down the track. I think nut loaf and some cakes freeze well too.

Not dinner suggestions, but they're still handy.

Actually I was thinking of cutting up serves of vegies and freezing them in snap lock bags, then they can go straight into the microwave. Has anyone tried that?

[Seekrit]

good ideas all
We're not fans of lasagne (I'd ratehr eat my own toe nail clippings to be honest) but the other stuff sounds great lots of stews and I imagine mince meals.

Wattle - that's and interesting idea, all our vegies are frozen anyway (bird's eye and the like) but I would be interested if you could just snap-lock them and microwave for a few minutes instead of boiling them up
