Variation:


The veggies may also be chopped fine, marinated together and tossed like a salad. This can be spooned onto the rolls and cover with cheese and top half. Proceed as above.





Note:


These rolls can be foiled cooked or directly cooked on a bar-b-que mesh, but tie a string so the veggies cheese do not fall out. Another option is to bar-b-que the veggies first and then put them in the rolls.





Hope these are useful... gud luck :)Need recipes to cook ahead and freeze?
I think the most important question is: what freezes best? you probably already know the answer: lasagna dishes, meat (e.g. roast leftovers) and legumes (already boiled and seasoned to have as a salad) freeze well. Soups - stock etc are fine, but be careful with potatoes, which they release starch and become really bad. Casseroles freeze well. If your husband has the chance to microwave his lunch, another good idea would be to buy fish fillets, season them in small microwaveable containers, and freeze them raw, so that at work he can simply microwave his lunch for 5 minutes (fish cooks fast) - you could season the fillet with lemon, oil, capers, oregano and sundried tomatoes. Stuffed eggplant or peppers also freeze well - I normally stuff my veg with squash and onion (which you need to stirfry for 5 minutes at low heat) + tons of basil + egg, no cheese. Try also to come up with a balanced weekly menu: fish twice, meat once or twice, eggs once, prosciutto with salad once etc. Hope this helps!

My stepmom went to this tastefully simple thing where they make like 12 dinners or something -- put them in their little foil baking pans, covered and then put the baking directions on top so you can store them in the freezer and still remember what to heat them up at in the oven.





Some of them were really really good chicken recipies -- with rice, some with veggies, there's a ton. Basically any chicken recipe you find can be frozen. She also had lasagna, that's always a good one to freeze. If i can find the site with some of the recipies i'll edit my answer. They were SO good though, you couldnt even tell that they were frozen for however long.
I love Food Network's Robin Miller.You can go to the website and look for her. She has great recipes and tips that you can use everyday. Most of her recipes can be frozen for 3 months or kept in the fridge for 3 days.Just portion out what is for hubby and what is for you and the kids.
