I'd like to cook on the weekends, especially for my husband since I eat about 75% raw food and he doesn't. What are some good recipes I can cook on the weekend and then freeze in single portion size so its easy for me or him to reheat it? Please keep in mind he doesn't eat pork, broccoli, or beans. : )What are some good recipes you can freeze and then reheat?
Halbut Baked with Tomato Fennel Sauce for the Freezer
Servings: 6
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds halibut filets
Sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup chopped fresh fennel, white part of bulb only
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/3 cup red wine
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (more if you like things hot)
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375掳 F. Prepare side dish, such as rice or couscous, if desired.
Prepare sauce by heating olive oil in a large saut茅 pan. Add garlic, fennel and onion and saut茅 until soft, but not brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and red wine. Simmer sauce for about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
Divide side dish vegetable between six freezer containers. Lay fish fillet on bed of rice, couscous or other vegetable. Divide the sauce over the six containers, pouring over the fish. Cook in oven for 10 minutes. Cool, wrap properly and freeze.
When you're ready to eat dinner, here's how to cook your fish:
Conventional Oven: Preheat oven to 350掳F and place baking dish on a cookie sheet. Bake, covered for 20 minutes, remove cover and continue cooking until heated through and fish flakes with a fork -- about 10-15 more minutes.
Microwave Oven: Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Let stand for 1-2 minutes in microwave oven before serving
French Bread Pizzas for the Freezer
Ingredients: Per Pizza:
1/3 cup pizza sauce
6 slices low fat beef and turkey pepperoni
2 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
one half long French roll
Instructions: Cut each roll in half. Spread 1/3 cup sauce over the cut side of each roll, sprinkle with grated cheeses and top with pepperoni and other desired optional toppings. Wrap each pizza tightly in foil or other freezer wrap of choice and freeze.
When you're ready to eat dinner, here's how to cook your pizzas:
Conventional Oven: Preheat oven to 350掳F and place unwrapped pizza on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
Microwave Oven: I like this recipe best when cooked in a conventional oven, as it's difficult, if not impossible to get a crisp crust in the microwave (maybe you have better luck with browning trays then I). But if you must cook in the microwave, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on high usually does the trick.
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Servings: 8
Ingredients: Meatballs:
1 pound ground beef
3/4 pound ground pork
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 handfuls of bread crumbs
2 tablespoons dried basil
2-3 handfuls of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
Sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
6 tomato paste cans (36 ounces) water
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
spaghetti pasta
Instructions: For Meatballs
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Use hands to thoroughly mix everything together. Form meatballs, approximately 1 1/2'; in diameter, by rolling between your palms. If meat mixture is too wet or sticky, add more bread crumbs to the mix. Makes 35-40 meatballs.
For Sauce
Heat oil, onion and garlic. Carefully remove garlic and onion and put in large saucepan. Add water, tomato sauce and tomato paste to garlic and onion. Mix well. Add basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Add Parmesan cheese and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer. Makes enough sauce for two family size servings (family size = 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 children with leftovers).
The Meal
Bring sauce and meatballs to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 90 minutes. Meatballs can be simmered as long as 3 hours, the longer they are simmered the better. Fifteen minutes before meatballs are done, cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions. Remove meatballs with a slotted spoon and place in a warm serving dish; set aside. When noodles are done, drain and rinse according to package directions. Pour noodles into serving bowl and toss with a couple of handfuls of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This adds not only a wonderful flavor to your spaghetti, but it also helps hold the sauce on the noodles. Add enough sauce to coat but do not make your spaghetti swim! Serve topped with meatballs and freshly grated Parmesan cheeseWhat are some good recipes you can freeze and then reheat?
Any pasta dish, such as lasagna or macaroni and cheese, are excellent from the freezer to the microwave. You can make a whole pan, let it cool and cut individual portions, wrap in plastic wrap and then foil. I place the individual portions in a gallon freezer bag labeled with the contents. You can do the same with things like soups and stews, put them in the right size container, take it out the night before and set it in the fridge, he can microwave it for 2-3 minutes and eat it with bread and maybe a salad.
lasagne-veggie or meat
i'm a vegan though so my bias would be to say using durum wheat sheets , vegetables like bell pepper, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, a nice n perhaps spicy pasta sauce, maybe olives, and vegan cheese if you really want. add tofu with spinach to make like a vegan cannelloni
any bake like pasta bake, shepards pie, cottage pie
all can be made veggie or vegan if you want to, peas and other veg of choice, soy chunky, veggie gravey topped with baked thin layer of mashed potato and cheese if you wish/sauce and non eggy pasta
chilli and rice-easy to find recipes online
fillings for burritos-just mix up tofu/soy mince or meat if need be with veggies, seasoning, tomato puree etc, leave in the fridge and cupboard for him tortilla wraps and cheese and tell him all he needs to do is defrost and heat the filling, add it to tortilla wraps, top with cheese and heat again
veggie burgers or nuts roasts-made out of vegetables, nuts, soy protein, tofu, quorn...various ingredients... fully cook in oven then tell him to microwave and put in a bun/bap with a little lettuce and sauce like BBQ, ketchup, relish etc.... and some frozen chips, would be hard for him to bake these! or potato wedgies. You could roast your own and freeze for him to microwave if you don't like store bought stuff.
few ideas...
=) x
chicken. roast a chicken or two, you can make chicken noodle soup, chicken enchiladas, etc...
i just made beef stew (a large pot) and froze it...i do this with beef stew, chili, and split pea soup rather frequently and it always works well
Lasagna
Soup
mac and cheese
casseroles
taco meat
sloppy joe meat
any casserole dish

The Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle, Georgia is famous for their Southern cooking. People will drive from all over the state to eat there. You can find their recipe for chicken and dumplings on their website www.bluewillowinn.com and you can also purchase a copy of their cookbook on-line as well. Needless to say, I gave my wife a copy several years ago...but I think I use it more than her.

Next take the really cheap canned biscuits and cut each one into 4ths. Drop the biscuit pieces into the boiling mixture and cook until they are done. You can tell because they go from being white to a deeper beige color. With this recipe if you find that all your dumplings are gone you can always go back and add more biscuits. Hope you like it. My whole family loves them.

Is there a good substitute for onions and garlic in recipes?
I absolutely can not eat onions or garlic (even small amounts) because of an intestinal problem. My daughter loves these and she gets frustrated when she cooks for me because she must leave them out. Would there be some other ingredients that could add this type of flavor to a dish? Or something that would enhance the dish at least?Is there a good substitute for onions and garlic in recipes?
Fresh herbs added at the end of the cooking time no matter what method you use to cook the food bring a lot to a dish. I'd suggest that she starts a dish and at the end adds onions and garlic to a separate larger dish. I often cook a meal two ways for people who have food issues. It just takes one extra pot to make it special for you Mom. Is there a good substitute for onions and garlic in recipes?
Is it the sulfur in the fresh onions and garlic? Can she use the powdered versions?
There is something called asafetida powder. It is very strong and tastes of leeks and garlic. But if you are allergic, this might not work either. Please ask your doctor about asafetida and see if it will would work. Otherwise, the best option is for to make the dish without, separate some for you and add it later. Or she could look around, there are plenty of savory dishes that do not require garlic and onions.
I cook for a friend who hates onion, garlic, leeks, chives (or thinks she does) and I just leave out the garlic and onion, and rely on herbs and other spices.
Shallots? Green Onions? Elephant Garlic?
Garlic and Onion powders?
There is no substitute. Sorry.
You'll need to rely on other seasonings. Your daughter could easily make two batches of a lot of dishes.
You could try Leeks and Garlic Chives, Spring Onions.
It would depend on the dish she is cooking really, for me to suggest may go well instead of garlic and onions.
You could try leeks and shallots, although they are in the same family as garlic and onions.
onion powder and garlic powder - sprinkle some on the food at the table

HOME-STYLE MACARONI AND CHEESE
Vegetable oil cooking spray
8 oz. elbow macaroni
Salt (optional), for cooking macaroni
1 container (10 oz.) refrigerated alfredo-style pasta sauce
1 package (12 oz.; 3 cups) pre-shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup coarse bread crumbs
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Lightly mist an 11-by-7 inch glass or ceramic baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray and set it aside.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add salt, if using, and stir in the macaroni. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook the macaroni uncovered, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the macaroni well in a colander, shaking it a few times to remove any water that might still cling to the pasta.
4. Transfer the macaroni to the prepared baking dish. Add the pasta sauce, 2 cups of the cheese, and the reserved pasta cooking water, and stir until the ingredients are well combined. Scatter the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top.
5. In a small bowl, toss the olive oil with the bread crumbs, and then scatter them on top of the cheese.
6. Bake until the macaroni and cheese is bubble and the bread crumbs are lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve at once.
This is my favorite. We double the ingredients for the sauce to add to the spaghetti side we have: Chicken Marsala
Ingredients:
olive oil
4 thin chicken breast cutlets
2 oz. low salt bacon cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1/2 c. flour
coarse salt
ground pepper
1/2 cup dry marsala wine
4 T. heavy cream
minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
Coat a large skillet with olive oil and set over medium heat. Add bacon and cook just until crisp and lightly browned. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Leave fat in pan.
Pour flour on a plate. Pat cutlets dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
Heat pan with bacon fat over medium heat. Add a touch more olive oil if necessary to make approximately 2 Tablespoons. When fat is hot, shake excess flour off cutlets and place in pan. Saute, turning once until browned on both sides. Think cutlets should only take a few minutes per side. Remove cutlets. Pour excess fat from pan. With pan over medium heat, add Marsala and scrape browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook Marsala until it is reduced by one quarter.
Stir in cream and simmer until you get a nicely thickened sauce. Return the chicken and bacon to the pan and turn the cutlets to coat and reheat for a minute. Serve with sauce on top with sprinkling of parsley.

I am looking for different ways to cook with Hamburger - recipes please.?
We are tired of hamburgers, meatloaf and mixing it with noodles - any new recipes out there.....I am looking for different ways to cook with Hamburger - recipes please.?
Here are a couple different ideas
MEXICAN HAMBURGERS (CHULETAS)
Salsa Fria:
1 10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
Chuletas:
2 cups Saltines, finely crushed
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup Vidalia onions, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder (not salt)
1 lb ground chuck (beef)
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 cup oil (for frying)
Garnish:
Rings of red onion, slices of avocado, sour cream and sprigs of cilantro
Combine all Salsa Fria ingredients. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
On a sheet of wax paper, evenly spread cracker crumbs. Combine parsley, onions, ground meat, garlic powder, egg, chili powder and salt in a small bowl. Form 4 patties and coat each pattie with the cracker crumbs evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (but no more than 3 hours) to thoroughly chill.
Heat oil until it is hot enough to brown a 1 inch cube of bread in a little over 1 minute. (Don't get oil too hot or center of patties won't cook through). Fry patties in oil well browned on outside and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Serve on a bed of iceberg lettuce with a few rings of red onion, topped with Salsa Fria and with a dollop of sour cream with a sprig of cilantro to the side and a slice of avocado.
HAMBURGER STUFFED FRENCH BREAD
1 loaf French bread
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef, browned w/onion and garlic
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (any type)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
In a skillet, saut茅 hamburger with minced garlic, chopped onion and (optional) parsley.
Preheat oven to 350掳F.
Carve top in a circle (leaving a ';cap'; that you will replace on top later) out of French bread and hollow out the middle. Break up the bread innards into small pieces and set aside in a medium bowl.
To these bread crumbs, add the browned hamburger mixture, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and seasonings to taste.
Mix ingredients well and restuff this mixture back into French bread shell.
Top with cheese and replace the top (hopefully you saved it).
Wrap in aluminum foil and bake in 350掳F oven 20 minutes. This will melt the cheese and help the flavors to combine. Slice and serve. Individually wrapped slices freeze well and make a quick and yummy take-to-work lunch.I am looking for different ways to cook with Hamburger - recipes please.?
HOT POCKETS
I'm a mom on a tight budget so...
1 lb. Hamb.
1 can tomato soup (undiluted)
1 can veg-all
2 can grands butter biscuits
Shredded chedder (optional)
After browning and draining the meat, mix w/ soup and veg.
I flatten the biscuits with the base of my palm. Be careful not
to go too thin. Place a tbl or so of the mix in the middle and sprinkle cheese. Fold like you are making a taco and pinch sides together. If soup touches sides the biscuit wont seal. Bake as directed for biscuits. You can use your imagination w/ these. I've done ham and scrambled egg w/ cheese and all sorts of stuff. My kids like them on the go. Good luck.
one pound hamburg
4 boiled potatoes coked and sliced
2 cans of whole kernel corn'
2 cans of Cream of chicken or mushroom soup.
Drain hamburg and then layer all these in a pain and salt and pepper to taste,bake 15 to 20 minutes.
My Kids Like this it good served with Bread and Butter.
QUICK TEXMEX GOULASH
1/2 lb. elbow macaroni
1 lb ground sirloin
1 small onion, finely diced
2 c. tomato juice
1 pkg. McCormick's Taco Seasoning
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can sweet corn, drained
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
sour cream
sliced black olives
chopped green onions
Prepare the macaroni according to the package instructions.
(Note: Do not rinse the noodles. The starch left on them helps bind the goulash so it doesn't get too runny.)
Saut茅 the sirloin and onion in a skillet until the meat is brown and the onions become translucent.
Drain the fat off. Add tomato juice and the taco seasoning to the meat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 min.
In a large pot, combine the noodles, meat mixture, corn, beans, and shredded cheese. Allow this to simmer for about 20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted. You may need to add up to a cup more of the tomato juice if it's too dry.
To serve: place a helping of goulash on a plate then garnish with sour cream, black olives, and green onions. It's nice to set the garnishes on the table as when serving tacos. Don't be afraid to use whatever garnishes you'd use on a taco. Some like green peppers, jalape帽os, salsa, fresh diced tomatoes, crushed tortilla chips, cheddar cheese. Get creative!
Salisbury Steak
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1/2 C. minced onion
1 clove garlic minced
1 1/2 T. butter
Saute onions and garlic in butter until translucent and set aside. Mix beef in bowl with:
2 eggs
4 oz. bread crumbs
2 T. fresh chopped parsley
Add cooled onion mixture.
Form mixture into 6 patties and saute in pan with 1 T. butter until golden brown on both sides. Set aside in a casserole dish. Patties should still be pink inside.
Add 1 lb. sliced mushrooms to pan and quickly saute about 4 minutes. Set aside.
Melt 2 T. butter in pan and add 3 T. flour. Cook 1 minute and whisk in 1 1/2 C. beef broth. Add mushrooms and pour over patties in casserole.
Bake at 350掳F. for 30 minutes.
Serves 6
