Today is the Ultimate Recipe Swap over at Life as a Mom (http://www.lifeasmom.com/). (One of these days I need to learn how to do links better!) The topic today is Freezer Recipes. I'm looking forward to checking back there tomorrow to look at everyone's ideas and see what I can adapt to our family.
My kids are home on spring break this week, and for lunch today, DS requested pancakes. These are great to cook up and store in the freezer, so I made a double batch, and he has plenty for breakfast over the coming few weeks.
My favorite freezer meals has to be chicken pot pie. The recipe makes 2 pies, and I love the convenience of not only having something in the freezer for us, but it is also the perfect dish to take to someone who might need a meal. I have done this many times, and it is always a hit with both adults and children. I don't share the recipe often, but here it is:
Chicken Pot Pie
1/2 pkg (8-oz size) dressing mix, divided (chicken flavor or herb)
1/2 c butter, melted, divided
2 cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 soup can milk
3 c diced/shredded cooked chicken
10-oz pkg frozen carrots and peas
2 T chopped onion
Salt and pepper to taste
Pastry for two 2-crust pies
Line 2 pie pans with bottom pastry. Miks together half the dressing mix and half the butter and place in pans. Mix remaining ingredients and add to pans. Place top crusts on pies, crimp edges and add slits to vent. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 1 hour. One pie can be frozen unbaked for use at another time. Very simple and very good!
