I like to buy the yogurt tubes and freeze them for the grandkids, they taste a lot better than regular popcicles.

what a great idea!

You can freeze grapes! I know sounds bizare. Just wash them up and put them in a freezable tupperware container. They are a nice cold treat in the summer. You can just eat them frozen! Very tasty and kids love them!!!

When you freeze them they also become sweeeter.

If you freeze chocolate milk, let it thaw halfway, then shake the hell out of it. Break it up with a butter knife if you have to, but the slushy consistency is sooo nice in the summer.

I freeze yogurt, all bake-it-yourself squares and cookies, pies, breads, pasta sauces, berries and stock.

You can freeze cake, also. many cake decorators do this because the firmness allows for easy decorating.

spaghetti sauce freezes (i freeze it in personal sized serving sizes) well so does chili, bread freezes well but isn't as fresh when defrosted best for toasting! (i preslice french bread and garlic bread then freeze it) you can freeze cooked meats.. i will cook ground beef and freeze it, it's great to have it precooked for adding into things or add as a topping

Leftover sheet cake. I always have leftovers from the twin's birthday cakes. I cut it into pieces and then put pieces of wax paper between the slices. Then I put it in the freezer. Once it is frozen, you can easily remove a slice or two.

Shepherds pie

My mom makes pre-made meals for her business and most people who order from her ask that it be frozen before they pick it up, because they want to freeze it too. So we tested it and ; Lasagna, Shepherds pie and cabbage rolls can all be frozen. Aswell as chili and chicken soup

I used to freeze 2l jugs of milk when we didn't have have agood grocery store near us. Skim milk tastes the same but 2% and whole milk have the fat seperate, they really need to be shaken as it's thawing and as you use it up.

[blueeyetea]

Baked goods freeze well: cookies, muffins, cakes, breads, bagels. Since it's just the two of us, we never eat a whole package of bread, so I often freeze half. Burger buns I throw in the freezer right away and warm them on the BBQ when I'm cooking the patties.

Spaghetti sauce, chili, stew and soups as long as they don't contain potatoes, since they turn black.

Opps - have negelected this thread - will update 1st post tonight!


To cc and others freezing juice and things in cartons - I guess I've been afraid to try that thinking the carton wouldn't hold up, but it will? What's the longest you've frozen juice for? Just picked up a lot of fruitopia and was debating on freezing it but not at the cost of losing a whole carton if it didn't work!!

[snow00774]

and yes - even this morning I had my cheerios with choc milk - don't think i will ever go back lol!!

[ccandth]

I have never done it before but I bought 5 or 6 of the oasis when it was on special a few weeks back and froze it all. So far it looks good, I thawed one out and it tasted no different.

Hot peppers -- like jalepeno and Scotch Bonnet.
When these are reduced, I keep them longer by freezing.
They can be sliced (semi thawed) and added to ground beef, stews, fish, soups-- to spice things up.

Great in the winter when you want something hot and spicy.
