What I Make

Freezer Meals

Julia Parent

Taking a cooler full of freezer meals to a loved one. Making freezer meals is easy. Simply make a double batch of your favorite recipes or save your leftovers. Wrap single portions in aluminum foil, seal in freezer baggies, and label. If you’re not sure if the foods you have will freeze well, do an internet search to find out. Examples of foods that freeze well include: cooked meats, soups, pasta dishes, and casseroles. To use, put what you plan to eat in the refrigerator the night before to unthaw and microwave until heated through.

Meatloaf Meatballs Meal

Serves: 6

Ingredients:
Everything you need to make a double batch of my Potato Wedges recipe
Everything you need to make my Meatloaf Meatballs recipe
Your favorite bagged salad kit

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Follow the directions to make my Potato Wedges recipe and put them in the oven. Except for the cooking temperature, follow the directions to make my Meatloaf Meatballs recipe. Approximately 20 to 30 minutes before the potatoes are done, put the meatballs in the oven, too. They can bake at the same temperature as the potatoes instead of 350 degrees. When the potatoes are golden brown and the meatballs are cooked through, serve with a side salad.
