Aside from chili.... 

What are your favorite recipes for freezing?  I need some inspiration.

I love making mini meatloves in muffin cups and then just microwaving them when I want something hot for lunch.  YUM.  Right now that's my go-to freezer luch.

I make mini crustless quiche ( usually bacon or ham with onions and cheddar) in muffin tins.  I freeze them on a cookie sheet and then dump them all together in a freezer bag.  They go from freezer to microwave in a few minutes.  Great if you're in a hurry.  They're pretty firm, so you can wrap them up in a piece of waxed paper and run out the door.

How do you make them?  What holds them together?  I was thinking of how I can make little pizzas without the crust using tomato sauce and low fat cheese, but I can't figure out how to keep them from falling apart without flour.

Spinach brownies?  Is that really brownies?

No chocolate involved.  They are in the shape of brownies and delicious.  

Here's a recipe, but it's not completely what I use.  

I modified mine and add bacon (well, because you need a PROTEIN) and I use feta instead of mozzarella.  I also add roasted red peppers.  

I cut them up into little squares and freeze them.  I think when I input the recipe into MFP it came out as 150 calories per square.

Did you use the flour?  I thought we weren't supposed to eat flour.

Yes, I use flour for this recipe.  I don't eat flour regularly, and it's more for a binder for these brownies along with the milk, which I don't normally drink.

I buy two huge bags of spinach from Costco to increase the bulk.  Here's my recipe pulled from MFP:

10 Ingredients

  • 10 oz. (28 g/about cube), Feta Crumbled All Natural
  • 1 container (18 slices skillet cooked slices ea.), Hickory Smoked Bacon
  • 4 oz., Roasted Red Pepper
  • 1 stick, Butter - Salted
  • 1 cup, 28 grams, Shredded Mexican Style Cheese
  • 1 Cup, Yellow Onion
  • 6 cloves, Garlic - Raw
  • 1 cup, Whole Milk
  • 1 cup (30g), All-purpose Unbleached White Flour
  • 2 container (40 cups ea.), Fresh Spinach

I like this - I would prob reduce the flour by 1/4 to 1/2 and have a more solid brownie - but I usually like this sort of thing. Thanks.
