What foods do you freeze?
 

Lately my time has been somewhat short but there have been periods where I've had some on my hands, so during those times I've taken to cooking up meals to go in the freezer for the 'bad' days.

I've done things like a beef vindaloo, lasagne, an assortment of muffins and cakes, and savoury pies.

What sort of things do you cook and freeze for a rainy day? I'm after ideas because I think Dazza and the kids might get bored if I keep doing the same sorts of things.

Carol Makes up Freezer bags of a real Basic tomato sauce for Chillie or spaghetti.

Eggs and bananas.

Lettuce.


No really, it gives me an excuse to throw it out without eating it.

Most of what I freeze I then don't use. It's basically a staging post on the way to the kitchen bin.

Lol, I bet we both do the same thing:

Examine food in fridge. Decide it is going a bit off and not good enough to eat. Move toward bin, but decide the item isn't bad enough to throw out. Put item back in fridge for a few more days, until it IS ready to throw out.

Or is that just me?

One of our staples is bolognaise sauce, it's just the same defrosted as fresh, just as easy to make a gallon as cup full. the trick is to freeze it in thin sheets so you can just snap off as much as you want.

Hahahah. Not just you. That's precisely what I do.

I try not to freeze stuff, because I'll never eat it.

I freeze the left over carcass from rotisserie chickens. Then, when I have three of them sometime down the road, I throw them into the crockpot to make broth for chicken and noodles.

are we really this bored?

Umm...yes?

Wow thats clever.... I have always portioned into bags, but that seems much less time consuming.


I freeze bread, cheese, lasagne, beans, banannas, the bits of veggies that are more stock material than they are salad material... lots of stuff.. but not milk... that one doesn't freeze very well.

What's boring about it?

I'm after ideas and thought I'd ask here for some. If you don't find it entertaining, you know what you can do right? :)

cookie dough freezes well too. When pilsbury has the coupons in the Sunday paper and Alberstons puts them on sale for 10 for $1 I stock up... I mke birthday cookies and work party cookies for FREE
