I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for freezer recipes? I started thinking about this on Sunday because there is a couple from our church who is going through kidney transplant surgery this week (the wife is donating to her husband). They will both be laid up for a few weeks and need meals during that time. You could remember them in prayer on Wednesday, that is when the procedure is being done.
I found a great recipe for a version of "Shepherd's Pie" a couple of months back that I thought might work. Here is the link, just in case you are interested. . .

I thought some of you ladies might have some other ideas. I remember a friend from the Alpha Class cooking and filling her freezer before the birth of her second child so her family would be prepared. I remember a teacher friend awhile back who would cook once a week and fill her freezer so she didn't have to worry about "prep time" for dinner after school. I was also inspired by watching Kate on "Jon & Kate + 8" on the Discovery Health Channel, she prepared frozen meals for her family before she went in for surgery. I can't imagine cooking for a family of 10!!
Anyway, please, please, share your ideas! I am excited because our little chest freezer was sitting unplugged in our basement since January when we moved and we plugged it in today. I want to use it to freeze some meals for church members and have some extra's on hand as well.

I don't have any specific freezer recipes, but I have done my share of freezing leftovers. It is hard to feed only three people and not have a large amount of groceries by the end of the week! I have successfully frozen chilli, my homemade spaghetti sauce, pizza dough, meatballs, guolash, ziti, corn chowder, brocolli cheese soup, chicken cordon blue, stuffed peppers, hamburger patties,sweet breads, muffins, white chicken chilli,taco meat, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls (before cooking, and brocolli cheese casserole. Those are what I remember off the top of my head. I have never made a specific meal with freezing it in mind. It sounds like a great idea (if I had another freezer)!

I meant a large amount of leftovers! ;)
