Stock Up on Freezer Meals

Rice Bowl Recipes

I'm saying "rice bowl," but what I really mean are recipes which can be eaten over rice, in a bowl or on a plate, and combine both protein and vegetables, so I don't need an additional side dish.

• How To Freeze Cooked Brown Rice
• Mixed Bean Masala with Fragrant Yellow Rice
• Braised Coconut Spinach & Chickpeas with Lemon
• Curried Vegetable and Chickpea Stew
• Chinese No Clay-Pot Chicken with Soy & Ginger (I'll probably add some extra cooked greens, like spinach or kale)
• Stir-Fry Freezer Meal Kits

Easy Green Minestrone

Soup & Stew Recipes

We will be eating our way through these meals during the summer, so I imagine we won't be craving many bowls of steaming-hot soup, but it will be good to have some on hand for quick lunches and dinners on more temperate days.

• Easy Turkey Chili with Kale
• Easy Green Minestrone
• Miso Pumpkin Soup (I may puree white beans into the mixture for some protein)

Lentil, Mushroom & Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie

Casserole Recipes

I'm not a fan of anything too heavy or cheesy. Pack in the vegetables, please!

• Lentil, Mushroom & Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie
• Grown-Up Tuna Noodle Casserole
• Cauliflower & Chicken Sausage Casserole
• Vegetable Lasagna with Butternut Béchamel
• Slow-Cooker Black Bean Enchiladas (I like to add cooked chicken thighs and roasted sweet potatoes to the filling)

One-Handed Recipes

...because the other hand will be holding a baby. I will probably make various versions of the recipes below, stuffed with other types of beans, meat or vegetables.

• Freezer-Friendly Roasted Vegetable Burritos with Black Beans and Rice
• Spiced Lentil, Sweet Potato & Kale Whole Wheat Pockets

Muesli Snacking Cookies

Snack Recipes

I want a stash of healthy, filling snacks for extra energy when I need it.

• 4-Ingredient Banana Oat Bars (I make a version of this recipe with extra nuts and seeds in place of some of the oats)
• Muesli Snacking Cookies
• Curry Coconut Savory Granola
• Savory Muffins with Prosciutto & Chives
