(I also added more seasonings - i.e., 1/2 onion diced, extra garlic, etc. but you can adjust)</p> <p>After the chicken is cooked (about 6 hrs on low), add:<br /> - 1 block cream cheese (I used low fat)<br /> - 1/2 can cream of chicken soup<br /> - I also added 1 bag of steamed broccoli florets</p> <p>Mix all together and let it cook for another 30 min-1 hr. It makes a great creamy chicken kind of sauce. We ate it over egg noodles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-healthy-freezer-meals#post-1548931 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 06:43:33 +0000 looch 1548931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken pot pie, shepherds pie, stuff like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-healthy-freezer-meals#post-1548787 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 21:59:11 +0000 Pancakes 1548787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would they eat chili? You could portion a big pot into freezer bags for them.</p> <p>Also, not the absolute healthiest out there, but pretty easy and I think picky eaters would like it: <a href="http://www.spiceandsass.com/2013/07/dinner-from-freezer.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.spiceandsass.com/2013/07/dinner-from-freezer.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-healthy-freezer-meals#post-1548773 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 21:48:24 +0000 LovelyPlum 1548773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meatballs?

My in laws won't eat any beans, brown rice, most veggies, any spices, etc. I think my FIL lives on bran muffins, instant oatmeal, soup, and peanut butter crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-healthy-freezer-meals#post-1548737 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 21:16:53 +0000 Boogs 1548737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ST chicken adobo freezes well, would he eat that? <a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/11/filipino-adobo-chicken.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/11/filipino-adobo-chicken.html?m=1</a></p> <p>More of her freezer options: <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/skinnytaste/freezer-friendly-recipes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/skinnytaste/freezer-friendly-recipes/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-healthy-freezer-meals#post-1548734 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 21:09:42 +0000 regberadaisy 1548734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: haha same here. FIL will not touch that with a 50ft pole! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-healthy-freezer-meals#post-1548732 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 21:08:28 +0000 cmomma17 1548732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to make a black bean enchilada casserole that froze well. Beans, salsa, corn tortillas, brown rice, reduced fat cheese. However, my in laws would consider that dish to be WAY adventurous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-healthy-freezer-meals#post-1548717 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:51:00 +0000 regberadaisy 1548717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No cooking involved but pop in oven post defrost kind. </p> <p>ILs are eating like sh!t but FIL is refusing help. I suggest to DH let's just make freezer meals and drop them off. </p> <p>Anyway, they're not adventurous eaters so nothing crazy.<br /> And preferably VERY budget friendly. Money's pretty tight right now for us so money for groceries for two more adults right now will be tough! </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
