Cooking SOS

[Happybunny]

Morning!

I have been feeling a bit proactive today and thought I might cook some meals this week and freeze them ready for when I pop. Thing is..I am a hopeless cook and I am not sure what meals are good for freezing and how you go about freezing and thawing safely.

Does anyone have any good ideas for food I can make and freeze? Any recipes would be good too - I generally don't eat meat or fish, OH does - but I don't mind picking out bits of chicken/beef etc from casseroles so that we can have the same meal. I can also do mince dishes because mince is easy to substitue with soya.

Any help would be fab!! Thank you in anticipation of your culinary prowess!!!

Sounds lovely! Would I freeze it before putting cheese on? Then melt chesse on when reheating?

I always put cheese on and melt it before freezing. Depends what you like to do though.
