Head over to MJ’s for Freezer Food Friday, then stop on back if you have a gluten free freezer recipe. We would love to have you join in the fun!
Participating in Gluten Free-zer Friday:
1. If you would like to participate in Gluten Free-zer Friday, simply email your post link to your gluten free freezer recipe (angelas_kitchenATcomcastDOTnet) or leave a comment below and I will add you to the roundup.
2. Link back to this post on the post with the recipe you have linked.
Last week I adapted Once a Month Mom’s September 2009 Breakfasts and Lunches. Now it’s dinner time! Below is the September 2009 Dinner menu with links to the original recipe. I did a bit of tweeking due to the heavy dairy use, so a couple of the recipes I have are different than the original plan, but still delicious. Be sure to check out Once a Month Mom and her great site!
The original plan’s Dinners (these links will NOT be GFCF, but I want you to see the original inspiration. For the gluten free dairy free versions, scroll down for links):
- Freezer Beef Stew**
- Deconstructed Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- Ultimate Beef Stroganoff**
- Baked Ziti
- Mexican Cornbread Casserole
- Chicken Marsala
- Chicken & Chilies Casserole
- Parmesan-Paprika Pork Chops
The Plan: Please note that all recipes have been altered (increased quantities) to meet the needs of TWO people participating in a OAM Cooking Day. It is indicated on each recipe whether it has been doubled or quadrupled for your convenience. If you are just one person or would like to make less of a particular recipe, you will need to make the adjustments on your own to the recipe and to the grocery shopping list. (Angela’s note: I will just cook this all as one person as my family is so big and hungry! The assignments helps me break the tasks up to have the kids help and to help me remember what to do next, so that will be how I use them.)
Helpful Hint: Assign one person to be Person A and one Person to be Person B
Read through the instructions and be familiar with the tasks that you are responsible for during the day.
Washing dishes as you go will likely be necessary, it is not written into the instructions as everyone has different needs and equipment. It is best to have whoever finished a task wash the dishes they just used before proceeding onto further tasks.

Instructions to make your cooking day go more smoothly:
- 8 pounds of chicken will be cooked in the crock pot (it does not need to be thawed before cooking (Chicken and Broccoli Casserole and Chicken & Chilies Casserole).
- Thaw – 16 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Night Before:
- Make the “cheese” sauce you have chosen, either the Cashew Cheesy Sauce or the Mild “Cheese” Sauce. Put in fridge.
- Start the presoaking stage of the corn bread for Mexican Cornbread Casserole.
- Put 8 pounds of chicken into a crock pot, add 3/4 cup of water and cook for approximately 8 hours on low or until chicken is done.
- Optional (but HIGHLY recommended) – chop up all vegetables, cook 2 pounds of hamburger, cook/steam 2 2/3 cups of brown rice (you will need 8 cups cooked rice).

You will need to pick the “cheese” sauce you could like to use. One is nut free, which is a great option for those with tree nut allergies. Our family likes them both.
Both “cheese” sauces can be found here.
