I host a monthly once-a-month cooking day for some friends. I’ve found very little doesn’t freeze! I’ll try freezing everything at least once; you just never know if it’ll work for your tastes until you try it! For instance, my family doesn’t mind frozen pasta or potato soup re-heated.

My favorite freezer meal is mini-meatloaves. I make multiple batches, flash freeze them and then move them to freezer bags. When making that meal, for my family or for someone else’s, I take out how many mini-meatloaves I want to cook, top with sauce, and bake. Very quick & easy!

I do the same with cookie dough. I scoop all the dough into balls, flash freeze, and then put them into baggies. (And no, the deep freeze isn’t enough deterrent in my house! Dh just LOVES frozen cookie dough!)

Thanks for checking that out for me! The recipe is from HersheysKitchens, and one month should be good enough, so that I don’t get all “cheesecaked out!” Again, thanks, Sunnie.

Sunnie,

I’ve never tried freezing cheesecake, but I looked it up for you. It looks like you can freeze them, but it’s not recommended to freeze them longer than 1 month. Be sure to wrap it really good with saran wrap and foil. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin….oh my goodness I’m craving it! There was a recipe in Better Homes & Gardens last year that I still want to try!
