Linnea,
I make big batches of stuff all the time, freeze them, and use them for breakfast and lunch. It works great!!!
If you've got some cookbooks around, go through them. You'd be surprised at how many recipes convert over with almost no work. For stews, just eliminate the potatoes,and put in a bit more meat. Cabbage rolls are great, without the rice mixed into the hamburg. If you get hamburg on sale, then it doesn't dent the budget so much.
Sauces can be thickened with cream, but cream doesn't freeze well. It separates, so it would need to be added later. Soups work great. Meatloaf, home made meat balls, it's virtually endless.
Check out the recipe section here on the site. You're bound to find things that will freeze well...with the added bonus that the carb counts are usually included.
Have fun cooking!
