Here's my list so far. Any suggestions of what to add would really be appreciated.

We are Jewish, so some meat is forbidden (ie shellfish, pork) and we don't mix milk and meat together (for tacos I use that Harvest burger ground tofu stuff).

I have an extra freezer in the basement and would love to fill it before this new baby comes. Thanks in advance.

Meatloaf
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Stuffed Cabbage
Chicken pot pie
Vegetable Lasagne
Stuffed shells
Tomato Basil Soup (I have the most tremendous recipe for this if anyone would like it)
Chicken Soup
Chili
Mac and Cheese
Chicken and rice casserole

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Three other things I'm adding to mine:

Veggie Gumbo (chicken or beef would work too!)
Veggie packed Spaghetti Sauce (you could add whatever meat to it too!) all I have to do is cook noodles!
Jambalaya

Would love your Tomato Basil soup recipe!!

take care.

Here's the soup recipe, it's from a chain of soup take-out restaurants in Manhattan called the Daily Soup.

Tomato Soup

2 T unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 leeks, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 T sugar
2 tsp dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
6 C vegetable stock
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes, diced
2 C heavy cream
1 T brandy
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tsp minced fresh garlic
1/2 C chopped fresh chives

Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, leeks, celery and sugar and saute until carmelized and golden brown.

Add thyme, bay leaves, salt, pepper and cayenne and stir to coat the vegetables

Add the stock and canned tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce heat, partial cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the garlic and simmer another 5 minutes.

Blend with immersion blender.

I freeze it at this point and when I re-heat add the cream (I usually use either just milk or soymilk, but it is better with cream) and some chopped tomatoes and chives for garnish.

It freezes really nicely.

Marie, I spend lotsa time over at the vegetarian site, they've got some yummy looking dishes over there too, the trick is how many of them can I freeze!

Take care

Can't wait to try it!

Call me unimaginative, but where's the basil in your Tomato Basil Soup recipe?

Ilisa...How is the cooking going?

That's the problem with this specific cook book "The Daily Soup". Everything I've made has been terrific, but there were definitly some editing problems. Some of the recipes list ingredients that they never tell you how to use.

Anyway, it's still great soup and freezes beautifully.

Cooking is going ok Ruthie, thanks for asking. I'm due very soon and having trouble standing for long periods of time. Yesterday I made a big batch of ziti with portobello mushrooms in a goat cheese sauce. I'm not sure how the sauce will freeze, but I'm going to give it a shot.
