I did a load of cooking at the weekend to freeze in small containers for Little Tiggs. I did meatballs & spag, sausage, chorizo & bean stew, cottage pie, macaroni cheese, and chicken stew.

[Smowball]

Oh I do burgers and meatballs, forgot those! I make a mean macaroni cheese but funnily enough Ive never tried to freeze it!

Cooee Eccles,did you mean 'provide' recipes? : )

[Smowball]

Although my fridge-freezer looks huge the feezer section isnt actually that big - very annoying!

[EcclesCake]

Mmm, very dodgy typo there! I can provide recipes or prove recipes in the testing sense of proving!!!

[friedgreentomato]

i don't like to freeze macaroni cheese as I find it goes soggi, rather I freeze the sauce and cook fresh pasta

It freezes quite well Smow. I usually do fish pie but I gave that a miss this time.

[Mamyalynne]

Soups freeze well too.

[Smowball]

Hmmm soups, what kind of soup?? i did freeze fish pie before but didnt think it tasted as good when defrosted.

[Mamyalynne]

What type??

Roasted red pepper and tom
Spicy lentil
Pea and Ham
Mushroom

You name it

[vodkancoke]

You can freeze any soup Smow :)

[Smowball]

I feel a soup session coming on!!

[friedgreentomato]

Don't add the potato to the fish pie make it fresh i really don't like frozen potato

[Smowball]

fgt - yeh thats what I did last time, think I shoudl have just frozen the filling/fish n sauce and then added fresh potato one defrosted.

[friedgreentomato]

Personally I feel it is best to use fresh spuds
