I'll defrost in micro if the pan allows for it, otherwise, I just increase cooking time. Often, it's just trial and error. @Amy, I try to thaw them, but often that doesn’t happen.

Do you usually thaw your meals first, or do you pop them straight in the oven?

Sounds like a post for next month, eh? ;) I use lots of different things: baking pans, disposable plastic that I reuse, freezer bags. Sounds like a post for next month, eh? ;)

Do you have a stash of 9x13 pans or what works for you? That's my hold-up on this. And what are you packaging everything in? Do you have a stash of 9×13 pans or what works for you?

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 02:39:56 +0000 http://lifeasmom.com/?p=1803#comment-10522 I just did a bunch of shopping today on items that were on sale. I bought a few packages of ground turkey and chicken leg quarters. I also plan to thaw out some of my ground beef to cook up w/ peppers and onions. My favorite thing to freeze are chicken (or turkey) enchiladas! My recipe is so easy! Then, if I remember in advance, I will take a package out of the freezer the nite before and put them in the fridge to thaw. Then all you have to do is put them in a pan, pour enchilada sauce over and top w/ cheese then bake! Easy Peasy! :) I plan to post my recipe on my blog. This is such a great thing....I've been wanting to try OAMC for so long, but never had any good sales happening at the same time. I am so thankful to have such great motivators like you all!

Wrap them well, cool, and freeze. I simply nuke them or warm them in the oven before serving. Easy peasy. Carnitas freeze beautifully. Wrap them well, cool, and freeze.
