I think I might try a few of these to make ahead freeze for my neighbors! Their little girl is going in for surgery soon and I want to make them a few meals that will be easy to pop in the oven or just reheat. I think the Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe might be a good one that would be kid friendly too.
