I've just started freezing ingredients such as garlic, ginger, peppers and diced onions which cuts a lot of prep time especially since the chemo is kicking my ass right now. When I have a burst of energy I've been preparing my own healthy ready meals and freezing them which has been a god send and reduces the amount of food wastage too.

I was an Over the road truck driver.. so I would cook once a month when I was home.. chicken, pork, roasts et cet.. beans, burritos, pasta, fried rice, corn bread.. most almost everything I needed to have fresh cooked meals on the road, though I did tends to buy frozen vegetable as it was less cooking for me in my short time home. .. vacuum seal individual portions (3oz to 4oz) and freeze.

now that I'm off the road and my teenage daughter lives with me.. I still do this because she loves being able to grab whatever she's hungry for whenever she wants. I've added precooked seasoned chicken and steak fajita meat and vacuum seal in 2 taco portions as we both love these as a snack or small meal.

Super helpful video! Avacados was a huge surprise to me! I'm a seventy six year old man that cooks for my son and myself....been cooking since I was 10 years old out of necessity. This shows you are never too old to learn! Thank you for sharing this with an "Old Timer!"

I use frozen grapes instead of ice cubes in wine. They keep the drink cool but don’t dilute the taste. And can be eaten once the glass is empty.

I like to freeze the avocado whole...I buy a bag of them and throw the bag in the freezer...I thaw one out in the refrigerator overnight....when I cut in half the pit just fall right out and the avocado is actually soft and spreadable .... perfect for toast and eggs 😊

Thank you so much for this video!!! I'm a single man with no kids that lives alone and I feel like I can't take advantage of sales because everything goes bad. Now I have options!

As child my Mom had a "tatter tail" bowl in freezer. After every meal we put our left over vegetables in there (minus corn or spinach) and when reached a good amount she made a soup out of it. Great memories.

Lemons and limes freeze really well too. To defrost, just pop them into some cool water for 20 mins and they're the same as when you bought them fresh 🍋

Great video! Tip from a blueberry grower: Blueberries do better if you DON'T wash them before freezing. Wash them just before eating them.

We cook bacon and freeze it. My husband cooks about 6 pounds at a time on the Blackstone and I put it in freezer bags. When we need it I zap it in the microwave or lay it in a skillet to warm. It is then crisp. I also cook hamburger when I bring it home from the store. We buy several pounds and again cook it on the Blackstone. Only 1 pan or grill to clean. I put it in Foodsaver bags to freeze. Makes it faster to make chili, casseroles or spaghetti sauce with less cleanup and mess when you are in a hurry.

I really like the paper towel trick to soak up extra oil. Brilliant!

[GV-suov]

Glad to know that I am not the only who freezes almost all food. I even freeze green leafy vegies such as bok choy, baby mustard, peeled and cut green papayas. I am so happy that we have a good freezer that has never given us a problem since we bought it 17 years ago. I always buy food in season and meat on sale. That way I save a lot.

Tip: The round indented circle on the side of the plastic milk containers is for expansion when freezing. No need to remove milk from the carton. The circle will handle the expansion. It works - I promise!

I’m BLOWN AWAY. I’ve let SO much food go to waste! I’m so thankful for this video!

[sargee]

Some great tips, thank you. I live in the UK and with the price of food going up every other day, we all need to preserve what we can and not waste what we have. Money is so tight for us all no matter what part of the world we live in so we have to look after every penny. I'm disabled and due to the price of car fuel and utility bills along with the price of food I'm having to cut right back just to survive. Thanks once again ❤️

I've been freezing milk for years in smaller containers. There are only 2 of us and a gallon is too much at one time, so I pour into 3 smaller jugs & freeze. Also, been using Food Saver for years. They're GREAT! I wrap items in Saran, then vac seal. That way the bag is easily reused and each item is separated in the bag. Lots of good ideas and many that I already do.

One thing I like to freeze is my chopped onions, carrots & celery. I do my one onion, 3-4 carrots, 3-4 celery all chopped or diced for my soups, & put them in a quart freezer bag. When I’m ready to cook my soup, having all the veggies ready to go makes it so fast. I cook my hamburger meat and shred up my chicken and freeze that for soup or casseroles, it goes even faster having the prep done and just drop it in the pot. Thanks for your great video & suggestions.

I made several batches of peach pie filling when fresh peaches were in season. I froze most of the pie filling, and I recently made a peach pie in the dead of winter. The filling thawed out to be a little runny, but I just added a little cornstarch and baked it and it turned out great!

Food saver machines preserve food for months, years. I always vacuum seal my meats when I come home. Shrimp stays frost free if it’s vacuum packed. Chicken breasts I packaged in April I pulled out this month and they were just as good as a fresh one! Perfectly preserved, no freezer burn.
