"My kids will give up a steak dinner for this spaghetti. It is a recipe I have been perfecting for years and it is so good (if I may humbly say) that my kids are disappointed when they eat spaghetti anywhere else but home! In fact they tell me I should open a restaurant and serve only this spaghetti and garlic bread. In response to requests, I have..."

Ingredients: fresh coarse ground black pepper, dried parsley flakes...

"This recipe came from a local church fund raising cook book. Mrs. Geraldine is a good friend of the family. She reminds me so much of Mrs. Clause, that I can't help but smile every time I think of her. This recipe freezes well. Do not bake before freezing. Just put it together, freeze it, thaw it and cook."

Ingredients: angel hair pasta, cream of mushroom soup...

"A great option for vegetarian lasagna. You will greatly enjoy the mix of vegetables in this dish! *Note: pasta sauce can be a white or red but I have found that if I'm freezing it, that the red works out best for me...none the less, I believe the original recipe does call for a white sauce. Thanks Marg (CaymanDesigns) for pointing it out."

Ingredients: cooking spray, pasta sauce...

"Really good served with a spinach salad. I usually make a few of these and lasagna's the same time and they are ready to pull out at any time. (It's just as easy to put a couple together at this point and have them ready.)"

Ingredients: pepper, eggs, fresh parsley...

"This is a honey of a comfort food casserole dish. From Southern Living. Freezes well."

Ingredients: eggs, garlic, garlic salt...

"My husband and kids ask for this over and over. It's an easy and delicious meal, just add salad and garlic bread. Prep time includes cooking the noodles and onions and garlic. This makes enough for us to eat 3 or 4 meals when it's just my husband and I. Freezes well."

Ingredients: cottage cheese, eggs...

"This is a dish from my childhood that has taken me years to recreate. I think I've finally done it. I can't go to family dinners without it! In Jamaica, we use Scotch Bonnet peppers but you can use as much or as little hot peppers as you like. Feel free to vary the combination of seasonings until you find the combination that makes your taste..."

Ingredients: dried breadcrumbs, eggs...

"What a rich and nourishing soup. By far my favorite to freeze and take to work for lunch."

Ingredients: pepper, turkey carcass...

"This baked ziti is absolutely delicious and whenever I make people come back for thirds! Since it is a bit involved for me, I usually make one to bake immediately and freeze another pan to cook later, so this recipe makes two pans. Fresh basil is essential to get the right flavor."

Ingredients: ziti pasta, pepper, garlic...

"Number of servings is approximate! This is my family's favorite soup. The recipe makes ALOT of soup...so I like to prepare and freeze it for busy nights when I don't really have alot of time to cook. If I'm making this to freeze, I omit the potatoes and add them later. My family loves this with thick slices of plain or cracklin cornbread!..."

Ingredients: frozen cut okra, cut green beans...

"I have made this both ways and actually prefer it Vegetarian style without the beef. This is delicious and is a big hit with the kids. This is so creamy they won't even realize theres no beef in it if you leave it out. The prep time is making this without the beef."

Ingredients: dried oregano, green onions...

"This recipe proves that you can eat your favorite Italian food without worrying about the fat! It can be made vegetarian by omitting the ground beef, doubling the amount of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar and using vegetable stock instead of chicken stock."

Ingredients: eggs, fat-free chicken broth...

"These are truly the BEST gnocchi's ever. Every birthday we get to choose what we want for dinner and every year my mom would make these for me. They are very time consuming, but well worth the long prep time. Make them on a weekend and freeze them for later use. (Cook time includes the time it takes for the water to boil)"

Ingredients: instant mashed potatoes, egg yolks...

"This makes a great deal of sauce but it freezes very well and can be used in any way you would use a red sauce. The Italian ham makes all the difference in the taste. Also, for those who have made sauce and it has been "acidy" I have never had this problem with the imported tomatoes. Every time I make a batch, I give some to friends. They..."

Ingredients: Cento Italian tomatoes, fresh basil...
