Default Looking for recipes of freezeable foods

I'm searching for foods I can make and freeze. Any ideas would be great. Some thoughts that have come to mind are Meat loaf and casseroles or stews.

What I'm planning to do is to put them into single serving sizes so I'll always have a meal at hand and won't be tempted to grab something I shouldn't just because it's there.

I've also searched the recipes, but having trouble finding what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

My husband and I make big batches of hot wings (well not too hot... I don't like my tongue to melt) and freeze them in single serving sizes. They are great for the office. We found a great wing sauce with 0 carbs that tastes fabulous at our farmers market.

I haven't tried anything else yet but I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else suggests. I too would like to have meals handy so I don't have to cook every night.

I have to admit--I'll freeze anything! I bought a freezing and canning guide, and I freeze berrries in summer (such a treat during the dreary winter months!) and home-made tomato sauce, and sometimes blanched veggies.

I buy giant sized packages of chicken breasts or pork chops on sale, bake them, keep out two day's worth for immediate meals, then put each of the leftover ones in a small zippered freezer bag. I take these to work, and often use them at home as a snack or fourth meal. You could do this with any sort of simple meat--hamburgers would work well, I think, and I do freeze slices of meatloaf. The microwave makes getting these from freezer to table a very quick process!

Chili and soups freeze great. I also make turkey stock with the leftover bones (I only buy turkey breast so, not a big carcass), some carrots and onion. Then I freeze the plain stock in plastic containers and anytime later that I want to start a new soup or stew, I use the stock instead of water (or half stock and half water)
I'm pretty experimental, too--I'll try freezing anything once, and seldom does it fail. (egg-y and cheese-y dishes tend not to work). So try some small batches of whatever you'd like and see how it works.

I posted a beef vegtable soup recipe in the recipe section a couple months ago that I always make a double batch of and freeze the rest in individual bowls for later.
If you can't find it, I will repost it.
