friendship wrote:Winter is my favorite cooking season, but I'd been unmotivated until a couple I know told me they're going to be producing a baby and when I asked how I could help, they suggested freezing some meals for them. So far I've made
- Garlicky heirloom red beans
- Italian sausage ragu with tomatoes and red wine
- Chicken & potato soup, with mirepoix and tomatoes
And I'm presently cooking canary/peruvian/mayacoba beans with charred tomatillos, jalapeños, and onions and also a can of corn. The ratio of corn to beans is a little higher than I was aiming for but it tastes pretty decent.
Next weekend I'm going to cook my once-a-year chili con carne, and another friend told me lasagna freezes well, so might give that a first shot.
Beanfest: imminent
I think I ate frozen homemade lasagna for a better part of five years as a kid, and do not regret a minute of it. My mom used to incorporate cottage cheese, but that's before we all discovered ricotta.
I tried to eat a raw tomato everyday after binging a few rewatch seasons of The Sopranos, but I quickly figured out I am a ketchup packet man, possibly slow cooked gravy man (on thee show: "Gravy's good 2nite!", sez Vito).
Hennywaze, I suggest preparing enchiladas, bean-centric burritos, ziti, or assorted pasta bakes for yer freezer-centric frenz, w/ manny happy returnz
