Anatomy of a Jumbo Freezie – Evil plastic edges
Is that not the truest thing you’ve seen all day? I have nothing to add*. Mmmm, freezies. <3
* Okay, I do have something to add. 1. I’ve always called these popsicles, but finally trained myself to call them “freezies” around anyone not from the US. 2. Eatable? I’m trying not to notice….
3 cheese stuffed shells – Do you really want to cook 7 nights a week?

You can use the pre-grated parmesan shaker cheese if you want, but we prefer buying the block. If you’re going to use a shredder like this instead of a microplane, though, then watch out for shredding your palm, too. Not that I’d ever do anything like that…

3 cheese stuffed jumbo shells
- 1 (16 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
- 4 cups large curd cottage cheese
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Cook shells according to package MINUS about 2 minutes cooking time. Toss in cold water to stop the cooking.
Mix filling and put into a gallon sized ziploc bag. Cut the tip and pipe filling into shells. I tend to double the filling recipe and then split it between 3 boxes instead of just two. Perfect for once-a-month-cooking plans again.
Place on a pan or two and then place in the freezer for an hour…or until you remember to pull them out.
When shells are a little more solid, place them all into a ziploc bag and freeze until you need them. When you’re ready to reheat, place in a casserole pan, cover with your favorite pasta sauce, and cook for roughly 30 minutes.
Or…. toss them in the microwave for a couple minutes, pour some sauce on, and call it a day. Either way works. :P
