I used to do the "Meals on Wheels" freezer stuff for both my in-laws and my folks. Kerry Beal has some great ideas. I also made 'Salisbury Steak' (hamburger steaks in beef gravy). Can be eaten over potatoes, noodles, or potatoes. I also did a version with a tomato gravy with onions and green peppers. Chunky apple sauce with vanilla and cinnamon (big hit). Beef Stroganoff. Stuffed bell pepper.
