Family meals for freezing

[rose]

Hi,
I am struggling to do meals for tea in the arvo due to pg and 3 ch. Thought when I am able to do extra could put some in the freezer for those days that I am not up to it instead of buying take away!!! And also to prepare for when bubs comes too.

Would love some tried, easy recipes that are good for family and for freezing.

Thanks so much for you input.

not recipes as such but just ideas

what about good old spaghetti bolognese (the sauce anyway)
lasagne
beef strog - I cheat and use a packet mix
apricot chicken
a good hearty stew
soup

We always make big batches of spaghetti, chili and lasagna for freezing. I've also done shephard's pie, stew, chowder, and cabbage rolls. I also like to buy pre-cooked hamburger patties and buns, and keep them in the freezer for REALLY fast and easy dinners when I'm just too tired to cook anything.

I made up a heap of meals for when Bub is here coz I know I wont feel like cooking.
I made up the chicken tonight jar sauces and a heap of the maggi/continental meals in the sachet/packet, some spag bol and some soup.

What Jaspen said!

Apricot chicken and spag bog freeze beautifully

I freeze a lot of meals when I can. I just dont have time to be cooking during the week but I still want to eat healthy meals and save money by not buying take-away. Here is a list of things that I do quite regularly.

Chilli con carne
Good ol spag bog & pasta (I even freeze pasta, I freeze everything, including the cheese on top so all I have to do is nuke it in the microwave)
Stir-fry (vegies & meat)
Tuna pasta bake
Stews
Soups - vegie, minestrone, leak & potato

Really, I reckon you can freeze just about anything. My standby for fast freezer food for when I cant be bothered cooking is fishfingers. I whack them into toast, add mayo and lettuce and reckon it tastes just like a McFish burger!
