Two of my kids will be heading to grandma’s house later this week, so I am having a little freezer cooking session to make them food for the trip. This will make it easier on grandma so she can just pull out the meals and she doesn’t have to worry too much about making dairy and soy free food.) I also have some leftover CSA ingredients that I won’t be able to use up before our next CSA delivery on Tuesday, so some of those things will go into freezer meals too.
This isn’t my most organized freezer cooking session; I still have to go to the store to get the ingredients before I start cooking! Wish me luck. :)
Here is the plan:
Turkey Croquettes (without the mushroom gravy sauce) x2
Sloppy Joes for a Crowd (10 servings)
Italian Wedding Soup x1 (with Swiss chard instead of spinach)
Chicken Apple Sausage, Kale and Rice Soup (x2)
Cabbage & Beef Soup (x2)
One Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup (x2)
I haven’t done this in quite awhile, but since this is my first big freezer cooking session in quite awhile, I will be posting live updates on Facebook, so feel free to follow along if you would like. Considering how unorganized I am, it should be an adventure. :)

I had some green peppers and cabbage to use up so I put together a double batch of the green pepper soup, but I am not sure if I should add the rice before I freeze it or just before I serve it? I also did the cabbage soup, but I did not have red kidney beans just white so I substituted. I found that both these recipes did not call for very much in the way of spices and no salt do you find them to be bland? Do you add more seasoning to your families taste? Love your recipes I use a lot of them

I tried adding the rice once and freezing it, but it turned out gummy, so now I freeze it without the rice and add it in the day I serve the meal. We are very sensitive to a salt taste, so we don’t use much; feel free to add to taste what you need. I think the cabbage soup has great flavor just the way it is. The stuffed pepper soup could be better if you sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top, but of course, that isn’t an option for us.
