Freeze your assets!

[albertagirl1]

What do you have in your stash that you have frozen to keep from spoiling. I have put yogurt and yogurt drinks in the freezer... and if you put a stick in the yogurt cup.. you make a yogurt pop.
I have also frozen bread.. butter.. and heard of cheese going into the freezer as well.
What else can we freeze the best before date on???

[Brandy Hunter]

Milk can be frozen also coffee we keep in the freezer to keep it fresh (not a glass jar)

[Brandy Hunter]

be careful with cheese, it'll get watery

[BFMamaOf2]

Egg Creations can be frozen

I also freeze all of my hotdogs/sausages, & grated cheese (and occasionally blocks that I then just crumble on top of whatever meal I'm preparing). If I have fruit/veggies that I won't be able to use up, I puree each of them & freeze them in 1 cup portions to add into sauces/foods at a later date (great way to sneak in veggies for picky eaters as well)

I believe you can also freeze whipping cream.

[Brandy Hunter]

Yes, we keep out container of whipped cream (cool whip) in the freezer

[albertagirl1]

great veggie idea!

[GoddessDigi]

Lol, currently in my freezer:
1 block of cheese
2 cartons of milk
Umm...I don't even know how many packs of hotdogs and breakfast sausages, lol! DH loves em when he gets home form work.

Cheddar cheese freezes fine in a block, but then just remember it will be crumbly when you go to grate it once thawed - not good for slicing, but totally tasty!
Also, I freeze bricks of regular cream cheese - it's totally just the same once thawed and creamed to use in any recipe.
I don't like frozen bread or buns - I've done it in the past, but just don't like them after, so don't do it.
Freeze milk or juice - just not in huge cartons because then they take forever to thaw.

I want to do peppers so that I can buy a bunch on sale and dice them up, what's the best way?

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

I just clean ans chop my peppers and freeze them like that.

[Natalka]

Yup, I do green peppers the same way. Freeze them in little batches to use on pizza.
Some veggies need pre-cooking a bit before freezing, though - like fresh mushrooms do, I just saute them a bit first.

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

Really? I just chop and freeze my mushrooms too! But most other veggies I freeze for winter are blanched.

i always freeze fruit... so in the summer when strawberry's are a good price i wash them and cut them up for smoothies, i do the same with bananas to use for smoothies or banana bread....
i have does this with all fruits actually i did this with apples and then made a really good apple pie...
veggies freeze well too...
meat freezes well...
we always put cheese in the freezer, same with bread.... and chocolate...
we sometimes freeze pasta sauce if we make to much and then pull it out for an easy meal....
i LOVE the yogart ( i have tons in my freezer right now... i like the texture better!!

[Sally888]

I blanch veggies just for a few minutes, peppers even maybe 1 minute, makes them freezer nicer.
I have 2 delissio pizzas "cheeseburger" flavour I got for 2 bucks each. Their disgusting.

[Lynn49]

When I freeze chopped veggies like peppers that were on sale, I flash-freeze them on cookie sheets, all separated, then when frozen, I pop them all in a freezer bag. That way they stay loose and I can take out only as much as I need.

I also freeze those big blocks of cheddar or mozz when they go on sale. Like Natalka and Goddess said, it's fine for crumbling into recipes or on top of anything and takes as fresh as the day you freeze it!

I also don't like frozen breads, buns...and can only use frozen bread for toast. So I stopped freezing them. Also don't like frozen milk, not that I use much at all...
