I use our freezer all the time.
But until recently I did not realize you could freeze left over mashed potatoes. Just put what ever amount in a freezer container, and after thawing heat in a pan with a little butter. I do not use the mirowave for this, as the stove top taste better.
Now I plan to make too much, as I try to get two meals out of every cooking session. So I freeze half of what I make, and use it later when life gets hectic.
One great thing to freeze, and make in LARGE quantities, is spag. sauce. It is my families fast food, thaw in microwave, make fresh pasta and dinner is ready.
Milk is another item to freeze, use about a cup from the plastic jug and freeze. This gives 'headroom' for the frozen milk to expand. When going away I always freeze what ever bit of milk is left, then upon arrival home take it out and in the morning milk without making a store stop.
Most bake goods freeze well, and unbaked cookie dough is terrifiic. Just use as much as you want, fresh cookies every time!
Trying to save and use what we have, so...
Wondered if anyone else freezes milk, and if so, can you freeze an almost full gallon of milk, IF you take out a little first, for it to expand?
