I don't think I could keep up with all our family does without a bit of freezer cooking help. It's a cheap way to get home-cooked, real food without slaving away at the stove every single day. It means less dishes too, so I'm all for it. (You see, we have no dishwasher, unless you count our 8 year old daughter.)
Here is a list of all the various freezer cooking related posts. Some of them are recipes that I posted before I started this series. Some of them are simply informative of the methods that I use in our kitchen.

New Links Will Be Added Every Week. I plan on posting a new recipe or post on freezer cooking tips every Saturday until I run out of recipes...or information.
Some of my favorite freezer recipes that I won't bother posting the recipe to because someone has already perfected it:
Broccoli Calzones
Swedish Meatballs (although this recipe should be served over mashed potatoes, not noodles, but to each his own. You know what, I may post about all the things I switch up in this recipe, and an amazing frozen mashed potatoes recipe to go with it. Until then, you can enjoy clicking on the original. Just make the meatballs and sauce, omit the noodles, and freeze each batch in a gallon Ziploc bag until you're ready to pour it over potatoes...or brown rice if you're trying to be healthy.)

Learned this trick for "day of" frozen food defrosting from a fellow at the Farmers Market, and a Home Ec teacher endorsed it: Put your sealed meat (or anything, really) in a large bowl of cold water. Defrosts in about two hours in a safe manner.
... and, if you're in a hurry, add some salt to the water. That speeds up the defrosting :)
