need some ideas for non bean/lentil freezer meals

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

my sister had an unplanned c-section a couple days ago, and I want to provide some vegetarian meals for her freezer (she's lacto-ovo(sp?). she already has several bean/lentil/split-pea meals in her freezer, so I'm trying to think of something different.

I freeze pesto in ice cube trays then put it in ziplock bags (they're BPA free.) Also a red pepper/basil sauce. I also freeze leftover pasta (we use tinkyada brand.) I put it on a wax paper covered cookie sheet, let it freeze, then put in ziplock. When I need something fast, I put pasta in a bowl, lightly coat with water, and microwave. Then I microwave sauces.

 

I also freeze brown rice (same method though it doesn't need a water coating for microwave.) Add some veggies, tamari, and sesame oil, maybe a scrambled egg, and you've got fried rice.

 

I also make my own mung bean tortillas http://spiceandmore.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/an-exciting-discovery/ I freeze them with wax paper between each wrap then we can make cheese crisps pretty fast. But making the tortillas in the first place is a lot of work.
