Bulk Cooking/ Freezing Ideas

Hi all,


I accidentally put this in the check in section the first time. I guess I'm not awake yet.


Does anyone have any ideas for some meals that I can cook in bulk and then freeze. I have been doing this for several weeks and am running out of new ideas. So far I've done chicken soup, squash soup, lasagna, meat loaf, shepherds pie and chili. Anyone have any other good ideas? I'm starting to get bored with the usual suspects, lol. I checked in Abbie's post about cooking ideas and there were some decent ones there. I especially am interested in things I can make in the slow cooker.


Thanks ladies!

I bought a fantastic cookbook called 'Fix,Freeze,Feast'. They have fantastic ideas. For instance, buy a ton of steak tips when they are on sale or chicken, cut them up and put them in a freezer bag, add in a fajita marinade, freeze it all together with the tortillas, the cheese, and the cut up onions and peppers (all in separate bags) and all you have to do is pull it out in the morning, the meat has already been seasoned while it defrosts, cook and feast!!!!

Here's their website:
