Well, by now I'm sure you know that I am consumed with filling my freezer for my upcoming surgery and recovery. Today is an update on what's in there so far. I'm not as far along as I had hoped, but the good news is, at my doctor's appointment yesterday, I learned that my recovery will likely be shorter than the five weeks I was afraid of. I'm sure I won't be cooking big meals at the two-week marker, but I might be able to handle a few simple dishes.
So far I have:
✓ Red Beans and rice (my research revealed that the best way to freeze rice is to cook it, place it in a freezer bag in a thin layer, and freeze; reheat in the microwave after thawing)
✓ Baked Steak, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots
✓ Melt in your mouth Braised and Barbecued Chicken, white rice, steamed carrots
✓ Oriental Sesame Chicken Strips, white rice, green beans
✓ Bechamel Lasagna, French bread, serve with salad
✓ Orange Teriyaki Chicken, white rice, green beans
✓ Marinated Chicken to serve with baked potatoes and buttered corn
✓ Five Cheese Lasagna, French bread, serve with salad
✓Porcupine Meatballs, mashed potatoes, serve with buttered corn
✓ Deborah’s Shepherd Pie, serve with biscuits and fruit
✓ Lemon Zucchini muffins
✓ Two loaves Zucchini Bread
✓ Two loaves Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
✓ Pumpkin Streusel muffins
✓ Four batches Buttermilk pancakes
I'm going to make two batches of Spaghetti Sauce today, and more French bread. I might even make up some French bread pizzas. I'm running out of freezer room (even with an extra side-by-side fridge) so I may have to start running food over to my mom's.

Wow Barbara where on earth did you find the time?
Just posted a tuna noodle casserole that could work too. I would toast the breadcrumbs with the butter and toss them in a ziploc with the casserole, then sprinkle on before baking. But I seem to recall you're not all tuna fans? I'm not either, but for some reason (cream?) it worked!
