I'm looking for advice on how to bake pies and freeze them or should I say, freeze baked pies....mostly apple and (you've probably never heard of it, Rasin pie). We're doing food swaps at Xmas and my family does not LC, so they would be non-lc pies.... My family members rarely bake and because I make my own crust, my Grandmother's recipe, that is what they have requested I make. I want to get a jump start because it's looking like I'll need to make about 18-20 pies
![]() Could you tell me how to reheat them, and how long they can be kept frozen? Thanks, Michelle

Bumping! Hoping for more ideas. My freezer is EMPTY and I would love to fill it up. Also, the thought of cooking once a month intrigues me, especially with the busy holiday season coming.
Keep those ideas coming!

Michelle, you can assemble the pie, and freeze it on a cookie sheet, then put in a zippy bag or wrap really well in plastic/foil. We had wild apple trees LOADED with fruit at our cottage over the summer, so I made tons of pies, both regular and semi-low carb. I froze several unbaked. You just pull them out of the freezer and bake as usual (for apple, I start at 425 for about 15-20 mins, then lower to 350 and bake until done). They take a bit longer to bake, but not as long as you'd expect. They are just as good as fresh. I actually prefer to freeze them unbaked.

I freeze practically everything I cook and here are a few things you might not think of.
cauli rice in individual size portions brown rice individual portion size(this takes so long to cook that I make a ton of it so I can freeze it) dreamfields pasta individual size portions chipotle peppers in adobo sauce- who can use a whole can in a recipe? Not me. Mash flat so you can just break off some to use. extra spaghetti sauce grated ginger root lemons for juice I like to cook up 5 pounds of ground beef with onions and seasoning and freeze in 1 pound sizes. I buy a bunch of rotisserie chickens, take the meat off the bones and freeze in 1 pound sizes. Then I make fabulous broth with the bones, make soup and freeze that. fresh herbs tomato paste- Mash flat in the bag so you can break off a bit for a recipe Freeze any ingredient that you use just a little bit of it and have a bunch left over. That's all I can think of at the moment. I am too lazy to get off my duff and look in my freezer. Just be brave and try freezing something you have doubts about. Might work. That's how I figured out that freezing cauli rice was a good thing. |

I have several packages of Linda's
Meatballs Enchilada Bake Deep Dish Pizza Little Almond Flour Pound cakes already in the freezer and this weekend I am adding at least the Coney Island Chili Dog Pie. If it wasn't for the freezer and Linda's recipes, I would be falling off the wagon all the time. Especially this time of year!! Oh yeah. Last weekend I added Kevin's Chocolate Chip cookies--a double batch!!!!

OK..I've finally purchased a chest freezer so that I can stock up on food in advance! Also, I've started a supper swap group with some friends so we are all making frozen meals and swapping with each other.SOoo...I want to bring this thread back to life with new recipes and sharing and ideas!
![]() Here are two recipes that I made for our swap this month: PARMESAN TILAPIA [ 6 servings ] INGREDIENTS: 1 cup Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup butter, softened 3 T mayonnaise 2 T lemon juice 1/4 t dried basil 1/4 t ground black pepper 1/8 t onion powder 1/8 t celery salt 6 tilapia fillets, frozen ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: In gallon size bag place 6 frozen tilapia fillets. In a small, freezable container mix together everything but the mayonnaise. Label with cooking day instructions and date. Put the mayonnaise in a small container or bag and label with date, meal name, and that it should be kept in the fridge. COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Thaw topping ingredients (which can be found in the small container) in fridge for 24 hours prior to cooking day . An hour before making dinner take out the thawed topping ingredients from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together the Topping ingredients with the supplied small bag of mayonnaise (which should be stored in the fridge). Arrange frozen fillets in a single layer in a 9” x 13” glass casserole dish. Cover fish fillets with topping mixture. Bake in oven until fish is cooked through and topping is bubbly and starting to brown; between 20 and 30 minutes. SIDE DISH SUGGESTIONS AND OTHER NOTES: Sometimes I take frozen cauliflower that has been defrosted and put in the bottom of the 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Then, I put the fish (with topping) on TOP of the cauliflower. This lets me cook both a side and the main course at the same time and in one dish. EASY CROCK CHILI [ 6 servings ] INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 lb. ground turkey meat (will be cooked for assembly) 2 cups onions, finely chopped 3 T garlic, minced 1 1/2 T chili powder 1 1/2 t oregano 1 1/2 t cumin 3/4 t crushed red pepper 1/8 t hot pepper sauce 4 oz. can of diced green chilies 28 oz. can of peeled whole tomatoes 2 t salt 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: In a pan over medium-high heat, cook and brown ground turkey. Let cool. Place browned meat in 1 gallon freezer bag. To the 1 gallon freezer bag, add all remaining ingredients except the cheddar cheese. Gently and carefully squeeze the bag to force out any air and then seal the bag. In a quart sized freezer bag, add cheddar cheese. For best results, place the filled bags into a 2nd gallon sized freezer bag and seal it. Add label and freeze for swap day. COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Remove pre-assembled Easy Crock Turkey Chili from the freezer and defrost. Empty the bag contents into your slow cooker and cook on low for 7 hours. Top with shredded cheese or sour cream (not provided), if desired. Serve hot. SIDE DISH SUGGESTIONS AND OTHER NOTES: A nice green salad is all you need to complete this meal.

I freeze Cleos cauli crust pizza all the time because it makes so much and it heats up so nice in the micro, it really is the same as fresh.

I'm glad you enjoyed the link... Just remember to adjust or change the spices to your liking. The first time I did this I followed the recipes to a tee. I enjoyed them all, but the second time around I tweaked them to my liking and enjoyed the end results even more

Ages back (2005), I posted a really easy OAMC recipe plan my MIL gave me. Here's the link. If it does not come through, look up threads started by diajoh or look up 52 servings.
http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...s-3-hours.html I have often modified it to be low carb with pretty good success: Varied the sauteed veggies to be more LC. I left out the bread crumbs and and subbed grated cauliflower for rice and bran for bread crumbs. After thesubs, I froze and reheated stuffed peppers. Worked okay and tasted really good. Warning: Using just bran makes the meat mix fall apart, so this needs a little work, especially if you're doing the meatloaf. I just stuff tons of peppers, because I like them. You also need to add more seasonings without the seasoned bread crumbs. I have added extra eggs and crushed pork rinds with varying degrees of success. It's a YMMV thing, so no good hints, except to experiment. I don’t like or make the soup as written (that meatloaf seasoning is nasty to me). Since I leave out the barley, I add chopped turnips and whole radishes (I pretend they are potatoes). I also mash in a bit of sausage then throw in kale or dandelion greens. Kind of like Olive Garden's tuscan soup. If I don't make soup, This leaves me with extra meat. I usually make extra stuffed peppers, or make meatball mix or sometimes make meat turnovers/hot pockets: Fry up the leftover meat with some veg and seasonings. Roll out the dough (pie, hot roll or crescent roll dough) into squares a little more than twice the size you want. Put meat mix on one half, fold over and seal. Bake and freeze. Give to non-LC family members.
