My freezer is FULL of these bad boys!
Here's what we froze:Baked Zitti
Lara's Chicken Pockets
Chicken Tetrazinni
Stuffed Shells
Cheesy Potatoes with Ham
Cafe Rio Pork Barbacoa and Black Beans
Elena's Carne Con Chile and Spanish Rice
Individual dinner size servings of cooked and shredded chicken for Tacos, Enchiladas, or whatever!
We totally cheated and used as many already-prepared items as possible, which made for quick assembly. I put everything except the Beans, Pork Barbacoa, Carne con Chile in 8x8 foil pans for convenience. I reheat these items on the stovetop, so it stores easily in freezer bags, or plastic tupperware.
Grrrr....I'm having issues posting the recipes, after I just spent 15 minutes copy and pasting them all in here. Something wrong with the html format-which I know ZERO about. I'll try again when I have more patience. If you want any of the recipes, let me know.
I've already posted the recipes for the pork barbacoa and black beans as well as a link for Elena's Carne con Chile and spanish rice (to die for), you can search back through the archives (February 2009) for those recipes. Yes. Everything is super fattening. The idea is to bake an actual healthy meal every other day, and use these to fill in, when I don't have time or energy to cook. I hope to harvest a nice crop of veggies from our garden this summer, and will use them as side dishes, and the fresh cilantro and basil will be great to add to the mexican and the italian dishes. Yummy!

wow, i've missed out on a lot since you took the blog prive. it will take me a while to catch up but i have to say you baby is lovely.
Yay for freezer meals! I am so glad my mom left me with a freezer and fridge full of food after Gabriela was born too! It was a lifesaver. I can't imagine how much more helpful it will be with THREE kiddos.
p.s. throw some of that fresh cilantro and some squash in your carne con chile.
Can I just say how obsessed with your barbacoa pork recipe I am? Thanks for posting it. I love it dearly.
I'm coming over for dinner!~
I would love some of your recipes! I bet it was nice having your mom in town!
