She only likes the tortillas and cheese from the tacos, lol. I might start making her quesadillas when we have tacos...<br /> I always have yogurt tubes in our freezer (buy on sale even near expiration date and they keep forever), I try to keep muffins, rolls of a variety of types (bannock, biscuit, bread).</p> <p>She loves to pick at fruit, and grapes keep well in the freezer, I also buy large bags of mixed fruit.<br /> My moms leftovers casserole also keeps really well, and she loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925846 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 00:19:28 +0000 lady grey 1925846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had good success with both meatloaf and meatballs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925105 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 09:10:25 +0000 jhd 1925105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a toddler, but I make this for DH often. I make a double batch &amp; then when it's cool I cut it into squares and wrap individual portions &amp; freeze. Sometimes I remember to thaw it overnight in fridge other times he just defrosts in microwave. I use bacon bits so I don't have to cook &amp; cut up bacon. And we have also tried it with different veggie combos instead of bacon.<br /> <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/impossibly-easy-bacon-pie/185bcc00-7a8f-4b20-a7b9-53dac850b96b" rel="nofollow">http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/impossibly-easy-bacon-pie/185bcc00-7a8f-4b20-a7b9-53dac850b96b</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925101 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 09:04:36 +0000 Chaosmaven 1925101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a big bag of these turkey meatballs to keep in the freezer (<a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/875683/turkey-meatballs" rel="nofollow">http://www.marthastewart.com/875683/turkey-meatballs</a>). They are delicious!</p> <p>I also freeze marinara and pesto sauces in ice cube trays and then keep them in a bag, so I can mix up a small bowl of pasta for LO in a flash. I hide extra veggies in the sauces as well.</p> <p>Other things I freeze: mini quiches from 100 Days of Real Food, muffins, soups, chili, pizza rolls (I make a regular homemade pizza in a square shape, roll up, slice and bake), homemade egg mc muffins and breakfast burritos. Most of my recipes are from Americas Test Kitchen, though I found the breakfast items via Google. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925098 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 09:00:58 +0000 Jess1483 1925098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These pancakes freeze really easily, and my LO LOVES them plain, so they're great for the car, too. The kiwi/banana in the title is just a topping, but I use the basic pancake recipe at least twice a month.</p> <p><a href="http://www.superhealthykids.com/blender-wheat-pancakes-with-kiwi-and-bananas/" rel="nofollow">http://www.superhealthykids.com/blender-wheat-pancakes-with-kiwi-and-bananas/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925092 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 08:51:36 +0000 cmomma17 1925092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And here are the zucchini tots from skinnytaste I'd like to try!

I add raisins. I had some in the freezer for at least a month and they were still great. I thaw in the fridge or on the counter from morning to lunch time or just nuke for a few seconds in the microwave.<br /> <a href="http://www.ishouldbemoppingthefloor.com/2014/04/greek-yogurt-and-carrot-muffins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ishouldbemoppingthefloor.com/2014/04/greek-yogurt-and-carrot-muffins.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925086 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 08:35:01 +0000 Periwinkle 1925086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! We have also had success (for us, LO doesn't love meat) with making turkey meatloaf, freezing, and then thawing at a later time. Soups/chilis also freeze well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925081 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 08:26:09 +0000 Bao 1925081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great thread, following for ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toddler-freezer-foods#post-1925077 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 08:03:50 +0000 cmomma17 1925077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dual purpose here - need to save money on food in November AND prep for a crazy hectic week of work while solo parenting (while DH is out of state for work).</p> <p>I have a fairly healthy carrot muffin recipe I know LO likes and freezes well (I let them thaw in his lunchbox). What else? I'm eyeing some zucchini tots on Pinterest and love the idea of Mac n cheese in muffin tin portions too.</p> <p>Bonus points for recipes and thawing/reheating instructions! </p>
