This coming week, in the lead up to the Easter holiday, we'll be eating from the freezer to keep meals easy and to stop the urge to just buy something ready made. Life here is still hectic with visiting Mum twice a day so I'm opting for anything easy. All these dinners are in the freezer, even the sandwiches - they just need to be toasted. If it's cool there's soup in the freezer we can have with them.
I try to keep a stash of made sandwiches in the freezer ready to just put in the sandwich press or under the grill. They're handy for quick lunches or easy dinners.
Some of our favourite fillings are:
cheese
chicken, cheese and pineapple
ham, cheese and mustard
chicken, sliced brie and cranberry sauce
chicken, ham, corned beef or roast beef with coleslaw, cheese and sweet chilli sauce
If we want tomato we add it to the sandwich before toasting, it goes soggy in the freezer. The coleslaw is fine to freeze if it's dry - if it has dressing on it add it just before toasting the sandwich.
This week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Lamb
Monday: Salmon quiche & salad
Tuesday: Lamb fritters with sweet chilli sauce & salads
Wednesday: Nachos
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: BBQ steak, salad
Saturday: Toasted sandwiches
Cath, I don't know why I've never thought of freezing sandwiches and then toasting them on our pannini! What convenience! Thank you for sharing this idea!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of keeping some sandwiches in the freezer! I'm going to have to try that.
