I’d love to hear some suggestions on reasonably priced packaging. The dollar store has three aluminum tins with paper lids that are three for a dollar, but they’re not especially reusable and I worry about freezer burn with paper tops. Matching lids and containers to plastic containers never seems to work, plus I just hate putting my food in plastic. Foil wrapping isn’t pad, especially if the frozen wrapped bundle goes into a ziplock bag, but it always seems to get torn in the freezer, as does butcher paper. I’ve got a vacuum sealer but the bags are expensive and I’m not very good at using the darn thing, so it’s slow and stressful. Pyrex and corningware have fabulous freezer containers, but I can’t afford enough of those.

As an aside, have you seen the single serving pies? SO DARN CUTE, though the jars cost too much to be able to afford to lay out until my husband gets a job. http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/09/single-serving-pie-in-jar.html

[...] Freezer cooking has been an amazing discovery as well! Keeping meals stockpiled in our freezer has cut out the temptation to just run out and “grab something quick.” Menu planning now limits my need to run to the store multiple times a week. In fact, I don’t even grocery shop more than 2-3 times a month now, except to buy necessities such as milk, bread, and eggs. [...]

We normally eat all of those things – pasta, lots of beans, soups, chili, casseroles. More info would be fantastic!

Sheri, I have tons of meatless recipes! That should not stop you at all. Vegetarian chilis and soups, meatless pastas, lots of black bean recipes. Oh goodness… I feel a separate post coming on….

What do you normally eat? I bet a lot of it can be frozen.

I would love to start freezing meals, but I am a vegetarian. Do you have any vegetarian tips or meal plans?

Thanks!
