There is nothing more comforting after a long, hard day, than coming home to a delicious, homemade meal. Unfortunately, sometimes, I get home, and cannot even muster up enough energy to throw a chicken in the oven to roast. That is when I open my freezer, and begin to defrost something yummy that I made weeks ago. My freezer is always stocked with homemade soups, chilis, calzones and baked chicken dishes. I am not a huge casserole fan, but I like keeping a tray of chicken enchiladas on hand (#13), and the occasional lasagna or baked ziti (#16).
Some people like to set aside one day a month to do all of their "freezer" cooking. That's one way to do it, but I find that if I just double a recipe as I make it, and freeze the leftovers, I end up with a stocked freezer, and no extra work.
This list comes from one of my favorite recipe sites, RecipeZaar.com. It contains their Top 25 Freezer-Friendly Recipes. I have not tried any of these specific recipes, but this list can give you some inspiration. Many of the recipes look good, and the recipe reviews on RecipeZaar are usually accurate. If you find a recipe you want to make, but do not like the author's exact recipe, RecipeZaar has a search bar. You can type the name of the recipe in the search bar, and search out other versions of the recipe that may be more suited to your taste.
