freezing meals and freezing ingredients

[Cornish Cream]

You've all just reminded me to take out the stubbies of beer I put in the freezer an hour ago! Thanks, could have been a disaster

It could have been deedub, it's hard to drink frozen beer  not to mention the mess if they exploded.

My mum goes above and beyond in freezing meals. I opened her freezer the other day and it was stacked with dinner plates each containing a separate meal. When I asked her about it , she said that she just takes a plate out of the freezer, zaps it in the microwave and dinner is ready!

I do find that vacuum sealing helps protect items for the freezer.  I am about to do my 6 monthly clean out of the big bench freezer today.  I store different items in cardboard boxes as they are easy to lift out.

fundj, I have a friend who has 4 kids and she spends Sunday afternoon making all their lunches and then freezes them. Ham and cheese freezes well. She makes all their sandwiches, muffins and even cuts the watermelon for fruit stop and puts it in containers in the freezer. I am not that organised

if you had 4 kids, i think you would be that organised DG

If I had 4 kids I would be in the nut house 

DS7 is more than enough at times.

I also freeze leeks for potato and leek soup.
Lime juice, lemon juice, mangos, strawberrys, biscuit dough for when visitors drop in.

Judy your list is fantastic.

Thankyou.

fundj,  I may have asked this before (or at least I meant to) how do you freeze your schnitzel?  cooked?

thank you

Uni, I haven't seen baby food on your freezing list?

I freeze all the kids meals pre-cooked.  2 very hungry boys means I often need dinner quick smart!
Cooked pasta
Homemade sausage rolls
Herb chicken hors'doerves from the EDC
Pesto sauce
Bolognese sauce
Sausages
Cookie dough
Cupcakes
Pikelets
Casserole

Pretty much anything really!

I think Hally is right ...you can practically freeze anything...exceptions being potatoes, boiled eggs ... What else?
