I always double enchiladas, stuffed peppers, spaghetti sauce, pizza dough, and quiche.

i've got a chicken and broccoli casserole that I always double. I freeze the chicken, broccoli, soup, sour cream and cheese mixture, then only have to make fresh pasta when I want to use it again!

Meat for tacos and calzones are two go to things for me when I want to freeze some. I often freeze pulled pork too.

spinach and ricotta stuffed shells, mac and cheese, burritos/tacos, beef stew

I tried to cook and freeze once while in my third trimester and I just ended up eating double some kind of cheesey pasta bake, nom nom nom.

Spaghetti sauce, mini meatloaf, meatballs, Mac n cheese

@locavore_mama: Did you use potatoes on the shepherd's pie? I can't seem to get potatoes to defrost and then cook well, they always turn out grainy and watery. Any tricks?

@locavore_mama: haha! I figured if anyone had a tip it would be you!

I've heard you can rice cauliflower, and somehow it comes out like potatoes, but no idea.

I freeze all types of things, lots of casseroles, i think they freeze the best (along with the obvious soup.) I also freeze veggies for soup if we have leftovers.

@looch: yes! cauliflower mash is delicious!! Just cut your cauliflower into bite-size florets, steam them and mash them with whatever ingredients you use for mashed potatoes. You won't even notice it's cauliflower!

If you want to make cauliflower rice, you can run it in your food processor until they're small, rice-sized pieces, then put it in the microwave for 3-5 minutes with a bit of water until tender.
