I have something embarrassing to confess.
I freeze everything, and I mean everything. Case in point I still have the birthday cake I served at my dear friend Alex’s and my joint birthday in May….of 2001. OK, that’s an extreme example that speaks more to how sentimental I am, not to mention being kinda gnarly. My point is that anytime I make something new, I freeze a portion of it to test how it stands up to the freezer so that I can share the results with you. As any time-challenged mom knows, having great food that defrosts and reheats easily can be a lifesaver, so the more freezable foods to make into recipes, the better.

 And here’s the cake I just can’t get myself to toss out. Maybe we’ll give it a try on our next birthday party together. Hmm… I’ve got to the think about that one.
poor quality video!!
…fabulous ! …
I buy organic so I do not want to waste a thing. In order to purchase organic oranges I need to buy a whole bag. I grate the rind for zest, measure it out and put into ice cube trays with water. I squeeze the juice from them and put that into ice cube trays, I then eat the pulp that is left over. I do the same for lemons & lime. I also organic garden. Last year I had an abundant amount of heirloom tomatoes. I did not have time to can them so I put them on a sheet pan and froze them whole. They work great for casseroles and Italian dishes, and the skin slips off nicely.
I freeze anything and everything! I’ll try freezing anything I have too much of or it’s near expiration date – I figure if the item doesn’t freeze great I really haven’t lost much since I would have lost it anyhow!
