I have done freezer cooking too and I had a few questions for you :), wondering what you use to bake the jalapeno cheddar corn bread? are they bread pans? and also on your burritos my kids microwave ours but they get hard on the outside and sometimes still frozen in the center, how does that work for you with the foil, do you put them in the oven to heat? or does the foil come off ok being frozen. i thought about doing that but didnt know if it would work. thank you!

I am interested in a source for the cups you have the muffins in. They look more substantial than cupcake papers. I have friends that freezer cook. Since we are all empty nesters the individual servings interest us. Thanks for your help.

So, things like chili, spaghetti sauce, soup!, chicken in bbq sauce etc.. freeze wonderful!
I’ve also recently found out how important it is to blanch veggies – it keeps the color, texture, and flavor of the veggies better than throwing them in raw, but more important, it slows down the rate that vitamins are lost.
Use good containers and/or double bag. I save milk bags and wash them out – and reuse once before recycling.
For me, food gets freezer burn mainly because it is in the freezer too long. Freezer management is a must. Now when I put anything in the freezer, I immediately put it on the menu list I keep. This guarantees that the item will get used in a reasonable amount of time, and not forgotten at the bottom of the freezer. Keeping a menu schedule, is good for so many reasons – it helps you keep on track financially, helps you use up items in the freezer, and takes the guess work out of what to have for dinner tonight.

It does take me a couple of hours, once every two weeks, to prepare the freezer meals. I defrost them overnight, while I’m at work, and cook them on low 6-8 hours, in my crock pot, when I get home from work (usually around 8am). AWESOME for the busy parent!

One of my favorites is baked falafel! You can freeze it raw in balls and then bake it. A great healthy vegetarian option for those who want it.
