How To Freeze Casseroles?

Ok, this may be a stupid question, but I have never had to do it before going gluten-free. We just got a deep freeze, and I want to freeze some prepared meals, cookies, brownies, etc. My family loves Cheesburger Pie (crustless quiche type meal). It uses eggs. So, my question is, do I freeze it before I bake it, or after? I wasn't sure if it is safe to freeze raw eggs. Also, I made some cookies today, and I scooped them up and put them on a pan and froze them. I am about to go put them in an airtight tub. This is safe, right? I don't want to make my family sick, and I need some "convience" back in my life. I miss just pulling something out of the freezer or fridge and cooking it in a few minutes when we are short on time!

Thanks!!

hm, not sure about the quiche. i will put my cookies/muffins in ziploc bags-either individual sized ones to be grabbed for lunches, or big ones to bring out just for snacking. some things like enchiladas i will prepare but not bake, just throw right in the freezer. i like to make things in casserole dishes (or bread pans cuz i usually just cook for 2) lined w/ foil, then fold up the foil, lift out of the pan, and pop in the freezer. make sure you label stuff, cuz it's harder to identify things when they're frozen. i have successfully frozen soups, and casseroles w/ tinkyada pasta. hopefully others will post more help :)

I think with something like the casserolle you mentioned you would bake it first and freeze it. So when it is ready you thaw and warm to eat. It would deffinately be a more convienant way to pre-cook the food, then freeze it and re-warm when needed. I've only made muffins,pancake,cupcakes and rolls to freeze and take out as needed.

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks. Not a big thing, particularly because most likely it is "true" but not yet demonstrated.

      iron digestibility

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae. I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health). I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides. I prefer the supplements. I feel better and my bones feel stronger. References...

      iron digestibility

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
