Hi ladies!
My oldest child is heading off to college this fall! She will be living with my parents. They have a sort-of basement apartment--I say "sort of" because she will have a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living space but it's not entirely closed off from the rest of the house. But my parents primarily stay upstairs so she'll pretty much have the run of the basement.
I'm sure my mom will be inviting her up for dinner from time to time (maybe even frequently.
). I was thinking that we'd work together to make some freezer meals that she can take out in the morning to thaw then just bake/warm up when she gets home.
One thing I was thinking of was stroganoff. I have recipes for both beef and chicken. Is it a good idea to freeze these? Will the sour cream "break" and become watery or should it be OK because it'll be mixed in with other ingredients?
Thanks!
Merilee
Edited to add: Something else I just thought of--how would you do soups? I'm thinking hearty soups like chili or beef or chicken stew should freeze pretty well. Chicken noodle soup--freeze without the noodles. Would that work?
