I made banana cake but in muffin tins and they taste just as good after being frozen, yum!

Muffins are brilliant - at 3 am when you're starving you can take one out and nuke it.
A couple of containers of meat/tomato sauce for making spag bol etc (reheated pasta just isn't the same.

I agree with the muffins!
What about something like beef stroganoff or chicken chassuer - easy to make in a crock pot.
Or (while it isn't really the weather for it) soup is a goodie as it is a cheap, instant meal.
Small portions of berries or freeflow berries for smoothies if you are a smoothie person. There are some real cheap berries around at the moment.
Sounds like you've got a pretty good list to me! I wish I'd made more for our freezer but got sick on my first week off work and then wombat arrived early so it just didn't really happen!

I only made lasagne and butter chicken when I was pregnant with bailey.
Aidan arrived 13 weeks to early for me to even think about stocking the freezer lol
want to get some things at least in the freezer this time. I only have homemade lasagne in it so far

I made a million pies - made a big casserole in the crockpot, and then cased in in flaky pastry in foil pie dishes. Easy as, well, pie!

Shepherds or cottage pie is a really good one to do. Ive also made a heap of meat patties and frozen into 6pattie lots and can have burgers. and another really easy meal i like to have in freezer is hot dog buns and frankfurters. They had them on special the other day at woolworths.......buns and franks for $3.99 bargain!! and feeds 3 of us for dinner......can not complain at that for a replacement to friday night takeaways when your broke
