Breakfast burritos freeze well. Just undercook the eggs a little bit and make sure to add cheese when rolling. I pop them in the microwave. If I have time, I then put them in a pan on the stove to get them crisp on the outside, but they are good without that step.

Just wanted to post some recipes. I usually double the bolognese recipe! I know cooking it for 4 hours sounds like a lot, but I just put it on the stove and walk away. The kids tell me my recipe is better than the bolognese at Gusto (a now closed restaurant in LA). High praise!!

I freeze flat in ziplocks, to save room in the freezer.

I like to double or even quadruple these recipes. For the sauces, I freeze in individual portions. Some of the sauces are time consuming, but if you make 2-4x the servings and freeze it’s worth it to have nice homemade sauces

Can you please post your Eggplant Parmesan recipe? My garden is exploding with Eggplant and need to do something with it. TIA!
