Good make and freeze meals?
 

I work outside the home two days a week. I babysit at someone else's home and take ds with me. They are LONG days though - 6:30-6. Before I started I told DH not to expect dinner those nights and that's been fine but I would really like to be able to do something for dinner those nights.

Does anyone have any good make ahead and freeze meal recipes?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but you should try www.bettycrocker.com . I use that site all the time to find great new recipes. Quick and easy or elaborate meals. I've got 5 kids so I like make aheads too!!

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I love cooking and though many of our dinners are simpler now I still like the cooking part but those night I need to do it ahead.

I have a list of freezer meals in WORD form if you'd like it. Just PM me so I remember...the timer just beeped & dinner is done, then we are heading to a football game so it might not be till 10pm (hence the PM so I dont forget, LOL!)
