    Help me fill my freezer!!!

    Hi girls,

    I've been crook as a dog with morning sickness since 6 weeks and at 25 weeks its still here

    Admittedly I havent been eating great because at the moment I cant stand red meat. I normally eat it like its going out off fashion, dad is a butcher and we own a farm!!! But not at the moment, all i'm pretty much eating is chicken and fish.

    I've just been food shopping and i'm one of those people that has everything imaginable in my fridge/freezer/cupboard. Anyway i'll list below the main things I bought today and i'm after some suggestions of what I can make to freeze and pull out to reheat and eat.

    Dry Pasta
    Chicken and Vegetable stock
    Lasagne Sheets
    Bolognase Sauce
    Diced tomatos
    Tomato Paste
    Corn Kernals
    Grated Cheese
    3kgs Oranges
    Bananas
    Onions
    Mushrooms
    Carrots
    Aborio Rice (Hope I spelt that right!)
    1.5kgs of Chicken Mince

    I plan on making a chicken and mushroom risotto for dinner tonight (as soon as I find a good recipe!). I haven't made risotto before so i'll give it a whirl. I was also thinking about making 2 big Lasagne's to put in the freezer and a chicken pasta bake. Any other idea's recipes are greatly appreciated

    ETA: I also have 1kg of snapper fillets in the freezer which I was going to use to make fish cakes if anyone has a nice recipe for them?

    Looking at that list, I'd make a veggie pasta bake either with a tomato base or roux base if you have butter, flour and milk.

    My freezer always has portions of meals I've made double batches of. eat one the day it's made and freeze one. Faves are bolognese sauce, Irish stew, beef stroganoff, Penang curry, sausage tomato and eggplant casserole, pork and cider casserole, that sort of stuff!

    If you're making lasagne with dried pasta, I recommend freezing the sauce not the pasta: frozen dried pasta is not that pleasant!
