I'm having some friends visit from Australia and with them will be two toddlers. As they are only here for 4 nights I don't want to waste time in the kitchen cooking! I am trying to think of some meals I can make for the kids and freeze in individual portions. I have us adults covered.
Any ideas? |

Cottage pie freezes well. Might pay to ask what they will and won't eat though as some toddlers can be super fussy. -------------

You can also freeze cake already cut - leave it uniced or do a simple water, cocoa and icing sugar icing. Pull out what you need in the morning and it will thaw by lunchtime.
Macaroni cheese? Fish pie? -------------  |

| When I make mashed poatoes I always do a bit more and freeze in little zip-lock bags a toddler-siez portion,..then I can just defrost in the freezer of microwave and heat when needed. I also do this with portions of spag bol, chop up a cooked sausage etc,..then I always have meals on hand! Just defrost a meat postion, poatoes and add some frozen vege and serve! |

chicken nuggets, not really something to make but always find them a good stand by when you don't know what kids will eat.
you know they'll eat them, and chips so maybe have a bag of oven chips in the freezer ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Meatballs, then you just have to cook up some spaghetti to go with them, really easy. You can put veges in the sauce for the meatballs.
Fish pie is a good one too. ------------- Mum to two gorgeous girls! |
