I started my freezer cooking yesterday when I boiled 10 pounds of chicken leg quarters. I put 3 – 3 cup bags into the freezer. I used 4 cups of the chicken to make 2 Chicken Bacon Subs. I can’t wait to try these. lol I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to leave this in the freezer. They look so good!
I also got 2 – 8 cups bags of chicken broth, and 1 – 2 1/2 cup bag put in the freezer. Which I bagged up today, after scooping the fat off the top this morning.
I cooked one pound of bacon, using 1/2 cup in the subs, and placing the rest of the slices in the freezer.
Today I cooked 1 pound of Great Northern Beans, which yielded 3 – 2 cup bags of cooked beans in the freezer.I also cooked 2 pounds of Kidney Beans, which yielded 6 – 2 cup bags of cooked beans in the freezer.
I made these Cheddar Cheese Coins They can be frozen, either the raw dough or the baked coins. I froze them after baking. I did sample one (ok, two!), and it (they) was (were) so good! I think these are going to be a new family favorite. You know, when I actually take them out of the freezer and let them try them. lol I put 60 of the little crackers in the freezer. If I’m careful with rationing, I might be able to get 2 snacks out of them. I think I will double the recipe next time, and I think I’ll cut them just a little thinner.
I got 3 – 2 1/2 dozen bags of my favorite Chocolate Cookies in the freezer, also. I kept over 2 dozen out of the freezer, also. See, I do let them eat!
I didn’t get the meatloaf done today. I will make that tomorrow. I have 5 pounds of hamburger, and I’m planning on making 3 meatloafs. One for dinner tomorrow, and 2 for the freezer. Edit: My son helped me make the meatloafs and there are now 2 residing in my freezer. 
I’m happy with the amount of food I got in the freezer. Even though in the past I would have been able to crank that amount out in one morning, instead of spread out over three days. When I didn’t have to sit down in between everything, or work sitting at the table. I’m just thankful to have this much done to make things easier on the days I don’t feel well enough to cook.
Anybody have any must great freezer recipes I should try?

wow – I am in awe over what you have frozen. I am just getting ready to try freezer cooking. Could you tell me some of the easiest things you have found to freeze. (I am not a great cook so it has to be easy) Thank you for this great post! I am looking forward to reading more and learning a lot from you!
I make those cheddar cheese coins for my Christmas Eve party and they're always a hit. Those subs look amazing, but who can resist anything with bacon, LOL?
Dropping by from Frugal Fridays…You have lots of good freezer cooking ideas this week! Very inspiring. I'm slowing beginning to meal plan & find it easier just to do freezer cooking. This week I made 2 chicken pot pies & put one in the freezer, and today I made a lasagna… 1 step at a time, eh?
