Meals For Freezing

With baby #1 arriving in August, I'd like to spend some time in July portioning out meals and freezing them to have "at the ready" for what I expect will be a hectic month of adjusting to our new routines.

I'm already planning on making a lasagna, but would love other ideas - especially if they could be reheated quickly/easily.

I'd prefer to have meals that are intact rather than separate parts to assemble.

Any suggestions? Also, how long will things keep in the freezer?! I'd love to get ideas together - the sooner the better!

Only limitation (besides gluten-free, of course) is that we don't do mushrooms.

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

I make all sorts of things to put in the freezer.

Chili (Carol Shelby pack is gluten free) Once defrosted I can add beans to make chili beans

Spaghetti sauce (boil gluten free noodles when ready to serve)

Taco Soup

Chicken noodle soup (use gluten free noodles)

Red beans and sausage or ground beef (try adding a can of diced tomatoes for a great twist)

All of the above will last at least 6 months in the freezer

Carrots and groud beef (will only last about 2 months in the freezer) I lived on this when first diagnosed

beef stew (not sure how long it lasts in the freezer)

Need the recipes? Just ask.....

Quiche freezes well, I think there is a crustfree recipe on the site.

I also love making shepherd's (cottage) pie ahead of time and freezing. Here's my quick recipe:

1-2 potatoes per person

gr beef, chicken, turkey, bison, and/or lentils

shredded carrot (1/2 per person) optional

shredded zucchinni (1/4 per person) optional

peas - optional

diced onion

diced garlic

2 eggs per lb of meat/meat substitute

tomato sauce

basil

oregano

paprika

pepper

onion powder

boil & mash potatoes

In a bowl mix the rest of the ingredients. Spread mixture into bottom of greased pan. Top with mashed potatoes and bake 45 mins, until bubbly. If you don't want potatoes to be too crispy, cover towards the end.

Can freeze before or after cooking. Reheats well.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By MommaBear82 · Posted

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!
