I made some more lasagne yesterday, and I'll be making some more cupcakes later in the week to freeze. These are really good to pack in the kids lunchboxes as a treat, and can be packed while still frozen.

I think I might make some beef and vege soup or maybe minestrone. Both of those should freeze well. I've tried pumpkin soup before but wasn't happy with the consitency when I thawed it, so I'll give that a miss I think.

I also freeze bread, although not usually home made. I've found it's really not cost or time effective for me to make bread for every day eating with two almost teenagers in the house. They can go through a loaf in less than a day! Much simpler to get loaves from the bakery.

I've never had a problem freezing processed milk before, but farm fresh doesn't freeze well I've found. The cream content tends to come out lumpy apon thawing, which is odd, because I sometimes freeze whipped cream and it thaws well.
