Besides my dehydrator, my next best money spent was on my FoodSaver.....On weekends and especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, I freeze enough for my son and I in single portions....those meals freeze magnificently in my FoodSaver bags, and they are great to mix and match and make a meal all during the week when I work and do not cook. On weekends, I will cook at least 3, but usually 4 or 5 complete meals, and then freeze the meat, the veggies, in correct size portions, all separately, and then you can swap arund veggies and meats all during the week....The ONLY thing I have not had success in freezing, is RICE!!! I make a HUGE pot of rice dressing for Christmas, and I wish I could freeze portions of that to enjoy all year....the rice changes texture and it is terrible!!!.almost gritty!!!! |
