I have been somewhat obsessed with freezer cooking lately.
I did one freezer cooking session about 4 years ago and didn't think much of it. I was getting ready to work a turn around so I knew that for a month all I'd be doing was working and sleeping. I wanted to make things easier on Brian (this was before kids too!) so I made a few things one weekend when he was out of town and started freezing. It was successful so I'm not entirely sure why I never tried it again or thought much about freezer cooking until a few months ago.
Two of my friends and I spent a Friday afternoon cooking. We made a lot of food and I was completely exhausted from the rest of the weekend. But my freezer is full!
We made 4 dishes (and multiplied each by 6 so that we each took home ~12 servings of each meal).
1. Beef Enchiladas
2. Chicken in Raspberry Sauce
3. Sweet Potato and Chicken Stew
4. Broccoli and Rice Chicken Casserole
I am really glad that I got to spend an afternoon with some friends and fill the freezer as a result, but it was a long, tough afternoon! Since then I've still be stocking the freezer, but my method has been to make a larger batch of whatever I happen to be making and freezer half. I think I like this method better because it seems like minimal effort to make extra. I've mainly been making toddler friendly recipes but we need those too!
