3 Foods You Should Be Freezing
We all waste food all the time, it sits in our refrigerator untouched until it grows fuzz then we throw it out. And, every time we throw out food, we are throwing out money. Freezing food cuts down on the waste and saves you money in the long run. It’s easy and you’ll find that it is convenient also. Here are 3 foods you should be freezing right now:
1. Chicken Stock: Simply freeze leftover chicken stock in an ice cube tray. Then, pop the ice cubes out and place them in a freezer bag. When you need one, simply take it out and use it. You can even use this method for buttermilk too.
2. Tomato Paste: To save leftover tomato paste, dollop it with a spoon onto wax paper. Then, freeze it on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, you can remove the dollops and place them in a freezer bag for later use.
3. Fruits and Veggies: If you have a garden that is supplying food right now, start freezing it for use throughout the year! Berries are my favorite things to freeze. All you have to do is lay the berries out on a cookie sheet and freeze them, then, just like the methods above, put them into a freezer bag for up to 1 year.
Do make sure to buy decent freezer bags so you can freeze the food effectively. Once you start, you can’t stop!
