A friend who has fallen on hard times needs some help with prepared
meals. Because of immune system problems, they can only eat meals that
have been cooked and then fully frozen. We could make heavy meals like
lasagna, stews or soups. But we were wondering if anyone has
suggestions for lighter, summer fare that can be cooked and then
frozen. Thanks for any input...

Filled crepes freeze well. I like the ham & cheese variety or chicken
mushroom crepes. Quesadillas are good and also freeze well; you can make
them with a variety of fillings. A fav of mine is simply spinach & mushroom
with some Oxaca or Asagio cheese.

These things easily reheat in the oven or a toaster oven; thaw in the fridge
then about 20 minutes in moderate heat.

Anything which allows stock to be made. The other night I ate meaty prime
rib bones as BBQ and then used the bones to make a nice beef stock after
tossing in some carrots, celery, onion, a bay leaf and some garlic. To the
stock I added noodles and had a nice beef noodle soup the next day. Yum!

Best of luck to your friend.

Did you get this idea from a doctor or dietician, or come up woth it on
your own? Seriously. You may be going to a lot of trouble for no benefit.

Best regards,

I thought it sounded rather bizarre also...

It's certainly a peculiar requirement... I wonder if the OP is
concerned about bacteria growing in the food during the time between
cooking and transporting it to the recipient... since they didn't come
back to reply we'll never know!
