S/O - What foods do you freeze for your family?

[Anonymous]

Just don't forget to label your meals with a date and what it is! Over the past 6 months, I froze similar-looking containers of chili, meat sauce, meatballs in sauce, and plain sauce. It is really hard to tell what is what and a few nights I announced we were having one thing and once the container defrosted, it turned out we were having something else.

In whatever drawer you keep your plastic wraps and ziploc bags, also keep a stash of white adhesive labels and a sharpie. Labeling and dating every put-away item (fridge or freezer) is easier if it's an automatic habit. Having labels and a sharpie in place makes that easier.
