This is something that I thought a ton about a while back yet I never got serious. Then a few weeks ago my girlfriend and I each made a few meals, swapped and we have been enjoying them since.
Can I just say why in the world were we not doing this sooner?!?!?! I am almost mad at myself for it!
We each finished our last little cooking day with 4 meals to enjoy for about a month's time. Well, they're gone. I feel spoiled, lazy and madly in love with homemade meals ready to go in my freezer!
We plan to meet again and have a bigger cooking day on 5/22. In the meantime I am going to start working on doubling some meals [and freezing half (or more)- I have done this in the past and it is so easy]!
These are my White Chicken Chili Enchiladas… it will be interesting to see how they freeze!
If you haven’t done this- DO IT!
And if you do, do you have any tips, ideas for yummy meals, etc?
Were still new at it but what could beat hanging out with a really good friend, letting your children play & keeping your hands busy cooking for the month ahead? I am telling you… this is a MUST DO! (oh and the new recipes we are sharing are awesome!)
I am anxiously waiting for our next day and this time we will each go home with 8 meals (-;
i did a double recipe of your white chicken chili enchiladas before my daughter was born so that i would have a pan on hand when she arrived. they froze well and were delicious both times! i used whole wheat tortillas, since we try to stick with whole grains, but still very yum.
ReplyDeleteI always make extra spaghetti sauce and freeze it. Also I have some individual portion size ceramic bakeware (which are freezable) and make shepherds pie and lasagne/moussaka. Particulary handy with a husband who works shifts!
ReplyDeleteI have never done a cooking day with a friend - sounds fun and a great way to try different recipes you wouldn't usually cook :-)
YAY for giving freezer cooking a try! :-) I love it, and sadly have fallen off track! Hoping to get a day or 2 in this week though! I definitely am jealous of you having friends locally who wanted to do the freezer meal swap! I have been wanting to do that for quite some time now but don't know anyone around who would want to! :-( Boooo!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you have the recipe for your White Chicken Chili Enchiladas anywhere on your blog or your videos? They look super yummy:)
ReplyDeleteI found your video for the enchiladas, and I am putting them on next week's menu!
