Freeze That Thought

Posted on Mark Bittman’s NYT blog The Minimalist this week is a great guide to freezing food. There are some obvious points (freezing reduces waste, saves time and money, blah, blah, blah), but the part that breaks down how best to freeze particular foods is very helpful. I particularly like his suggestion of laying out fruits and vegetables on trays and freezing them BEFORE going back and putting them in bags so that they don’t freeze into one shape. And the idea of making batter or dough, freezing that and then baking what you need (as opposed to freezing leftover cookies or bread products) is great too. Why didn’t I ever think of that?!
