Abbie,
Thanks so much for these tips for freezing. My girlfriend gave me this huge zucchini and I’m trying to find ways cook it. I have made a couple of loaves of bread and soup with it. I never thought I could freeze the bread for later. Thanks again!

Abbie,

Thanks so much for your comment on my RIP blog about my grandfather.

I love your blog! I used to be an organized person. But with three kids and all the stuff that comes with three kids it has been a bit harder to maintain. Your tips have been very helpful and is helping me get back on track. One cupboard at a time!

Thanks again,
Tricia

Marci, thanks! I haven’t found a good way to keep track of all that is in my freezers. How do you know track what you have on hand?

LvLc, You know I just recently figured out the freezing it flat method! I had round ground beef rocks in my freezer for the longest time. I have a chest freezer too and I just love the space. But I don’t like that I haven’t found a good way to organize it so I know what I have on-hand. How do you organize your chest freezer?

Rdzins, good advice! I am going to have to try this one the next time I have a big batch of onions to chop. How you prepare your horseradish? My husband loves the kind we buy at the store, but I am sure I could make this at home…share your recipe?

Jenny, I am thinking that you might be able to freeze the breaded onion rings flat on a cookie sheet, lightly covered in plastic, and then consolidate them into a Ziploc. Just dunk them into your fryer frozen though…don’t thaw them. I say “I think” because I have never attempted to make these. And if you light a candle very near your onion-chopping work space, the flame burns some of the onion gasses and your eyes don’t water. Good luck. Let me know if the onion rings work out!

Love this series Abbie! We got a chest freezer a year after we moved. We noticed we missed good sales in veggies and meat because we didn’t have the space. That is not a problem anymore! I now specially love that I can make doughs ahead and cook extra for an additional meal of lunches the next week. In freezer ideas: I love the idea to freeze things flat, this way there is more space, example? the ground meat. I buy in bulk then divide in 1 pounds in ziplocks, then take the air out and flatten! IT REALLY SAVES A LOT OF SPACE and you thaw what is needed! For veggies I do cut them is slices and flash freeze first. That way they don’t stick together like ice balls..
