IcePrincessKRS Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have seen this floating around pinterest. I don't know if you have a crockpot, but I think it looks like it'd be really helpful in that kind of situation. Prepare a bunch of meals and store them in gallon freezer bags, then all you have to do is put it in the crock the morning you plan on eating it. http://mamaandbabylove.blogspot.com/2011/04/freezer-cooking-with-slow-cooker.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthephysicist Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 [quote name='MissScripture' timestamp='1325801272' post='2363603'] Peanut is due on Jan 21, but could come any time now. So, this is kind of last minute. I may not even get to doing it. But it's what I'll do next week if Peanut hasn't come yet. [/quote] So exciting!

I really need to do a few of these, too. I'm always trying to think of something to make last minute. At least that way I'd have something ready even if I did have to start it in the morning. If I can make oatmeal in the crock overnight I can do dinner in the morning. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 I was thinking about this, and the only thing is, I think you might have to be careful depending on what veggies are used, because I know you have to blanch some veggies before freezing. Although, reading through the comments, she said she never blanches and has never had a problem. So, maybe it's just in there a short enough amount of time, that it doesn't affect it. But I know that long term freezing of some veggies without blanching first definitely results in not good veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 After reading further in the comments, it sounds like her veggies do get a little mushy, but she doesn't mind that, so I guess it depends on preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, if it was something that would get mushy anyway I don't think I'd care. When I make things like soups or chili that has beans in it I always put them in during the last half hour or so. I guess if I had a vegetable that I really didn't want to get mushy I would chop it the night before and just toss it in during the last couple hours.

MissScripture Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Making egg rolls tonight. Going to eat a couple and freeze the rest. I love these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have stamps. I just forget to use them. But if you come visit, I'll share. And really, they're not terribly hard to make. I've been using a combo of these two recipes: [url="http://www.joyfulabode.com/2009/07/05/homemade-baked-egg-rolls/"]http://www.joyfulabode.com/2009/07/05/homemade-baked-egg-rolls/[/url] [url="http://www.cookingforseven.com/2011/09/homemade-egg-rolls-a-rant/"]http://www.cookingforseven.com/2011/09/homemade-egg-rolls-a-rant/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Today I am making Cincinnati style chili (the only chili I will eat) and cheesy pizza casserole. By the end of today I will have 6 main courses in the freezer. That only leaves 22 more meals to account for after Peanut is born before my mom comes to visit and she can cook.

brandelynmarie Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 That is a definite undertaking. Pizza could account for several of those meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
