My 3 Favorite Things to Freeze

Recipe

Sometimes you just plain don’t want to cook. You know the feeling- you’re tired, worn out, busy, too hungry, or just don’t feel like it. Or you’re on vacation. All good times to turn to the freezer, pop something in the oven or microwave, and simply sit down to eat.

What you pull out of the freezer can make all the difference. Sure, frozen pizzas, French fries, and microwave meals taste great, but too many of those aren’t doing anything stellar for your health.

So why not stock up on the good, healthy things you’d make if you did feel like cooking? Even if it’s not super healthy, making it yourself is likely to make it a lot better for you than anything that comes in a box.

Here are three things I love to have in my freezer:

Black Bean Pineapple Enchiladas

If I know I’m going to eat them soon, I make them in the dish & freeze. {Sauce later.} If it might be a while, I like to make the enchiladas individually and freeze them separated on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, I toss them in a sealable plastic bag. Saves space & my dishes!

 

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Garlic Bread

I make spaghetti when I’m too lazy to come up with something else. Meaning, I’m too lazy to make garlic bread too. Easy solution: premade bread!
