Pasta type dishes freeze ok...Mac and cheese, spaghett or a hamburger helper pasta cbutterole type dish.
freezer meals 2571The ideas from others are very good. In addition, may I offer the following (and these have been very successful). Steak and kidney thickened with cornstarch rather than plain flour. This...
lasagna, Pot pies, salsbury steak, If you walk down the frozen prepared food aisle at the grocery you'll get a mess of ideas. A favourite of my mother's was hot chicken, turkey or beef sandwhiches just freeze the gravy seperately.
No mention of rice dishes...Rice based cbutteroles, rice and mixed veggies and meat...say lamb or chicken...kinda a 1 pot meal.
Sides...potato gratins are fairly easy to make and go well with most meats and other veggies.
Unprocessed natural foodsI am opposed to processed foods unless it is absolutely imperative that I use a processed product. Do you people know what goes into processed foods...
Stew?
Seafood?
baked or breaded or stuffed pork chops?
But at that age usually they are set in their ways...so what would they like to eat or what would they normally eat?
Perhaps a questionare needs to be distributed to them... kinda a weekly/monthly menu ideas? Something like a list of meats, style of cooking, degree of doneness...Pet peeve foods... a won't eat list. And the same for veggies.
That way they'll eat the food and you won't be working in vain.
