  • Freezing Home-Prepared Foods RP-4-93-3M-100-S
    B1306 HOME PREPARED Foods Mary E. Mennes It’s easy to keep your freezer stocked with home-prepared “con- venience” foods ranging from sack lunches to elaborate dishes for unexpected guests. By planning a steady flow of main dishes, baked goods and desserts in and out of your freezer, you make good use of your time and freezer. Advantages of Homemade convenience foods often cost less than similar Freezing Home- commercially manufactured items. Prepared Foods Foods are prepared at your convenience, and time is saved by doubling or tripling recipes that require a lot of preparation. Extras are frozen for later. The oven is used more efficiently by baking more than enough for one meal at a time. Waste is avoided by freezing leftover prepared foods and serv- ing them later as “planned overs.” Baby foods or single portions can be prepared in quantity and frozen for later use. Many commercially available entrees contain relatively high amounts of sodium and/or fat. Freezing your own recipes can help you reduce your consumption of fat or sodium. FREEZING HOME PREPARED FOODS Disadvantages of Commercial products often use special ingredients to thicken Freezing Home- sauces and gravies so that they remain thick and smooth even after freezing and thawing. Such ingredients are not available Prepared Foods at most supermarkets. Freezing is an expensive form of food preservation if the cost of the freezer, packaging and energy are considered. Cooking, freezing and reheating may require more total energy than simply preparing enough food for one meal at a time. Most prepared foods have a shorter storage life than plain fro- zen fruits, vegetables and uncooked meat.

Ingredients 2 pounds chicken, boned, skinned, cooked (roasted or boiled or even grilled, but not battered) 2 Tablespoons butter 2 Tablespoons All-purpose flour 1 cup milk, whole is richer but a less fat percent is fine 2 teaspoon ground thyme (optional) 1 – 2 teaspoons dry mustard (optional) 1 teaspoon salt 6 ounces softened cream cheese ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional) 1 package frozen spinach (or fresh blanched) Instructions Cook the chicken and cool slightly – your preferred method of cooking. Chicken needs to be chopped, no larger than 2” is preferred here. Put olive oil or butter in a Dutch oven or large pan, heat and cook onion, pepper, and garlic until translucent, not browned.

Add the thyme, dry mustard and salt. Stir. Add the softened cream cheese and the Parmesan cheese if using. Stir to combine and the cheeses melt into the sauce. Add the chicken. If using frozen spinach defrost, drain, and dry the spinach (put in a clean dish towel and squeeze out the water). Add spinach to the mixture. If using fresh spinach, blanch in boiling water and drain/dry. Stir all together. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. If the sauce seems to be too thick add a little chicken broth or milk to thin a bit.
