Make a large pot of soup of your choice and freeze in serving increments. Works great for me!!

Here are other dishes that freeze well"
Chili, casseroles

A crockpot is worth a lot, dump in ingredients, turn on and have a meal ready at end of day. You can get crock pots with timers or plug into an electric timer that will turn off the crock pot.

If you have the main dish pre done it is easy to toss a salad or add a vegetable or to for a complete meal.

When you do cook, make extra and freeze for future meals.

You can make huge batches of cookie dough, too...then shape it into the familiar tube for slice and bakes, or form one inch balls for ready-bakes. For the tubes: wrap in plastic and then store wrapped tubes in a large zipper bag. For balls...flash freeze in a single layer then tumble them into the bag.

Cookie dough is not at all hard to prepare and you can make a lot at a time, making the steps and mess really count. In a few minutes you have all the convenience of store bought product, customized to your preferences...and more economical too.

Besides soups listed above, I also freeze chili, bean soup, chicken or turkey noodle,

Lasagna also works great. When making for dinner, prepare an extra one or two. After baking, cut into smaller, individual portion sizes and freeze. Quick easy meal. Just add salad and bread. Done

Meat loaf : instead of making a large 2 lb loaf, prepare in smaller individual loaves. Being smaller, they're easier to thaw and cook faster too.

Meat Balls: I prepare the balls. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Freeze. Once frozen, place individual balls in ziploc bags or containers according to portion size needed for your meals. By freezing first on cookie sheets the balls don't stick together. I realize a large cookie sheet takes up a lot of space in freezer, but only needs to freeze for a couple hours.

Love the cookie dough suggestion listed above. Gonna try with my next batch.

Any more ideas out there?

Chicken parm, eggplant parm, most pasta dishes with sauce (though I don't eat much pasta). Soups, stews, enchiladas, gosh! Pretty much everything!

I use a foodsaver. Soups and saucy wet things should be bagged and frozen, then vacuumed and frozen.
