I freeze just about everything, too! <br />The girl in your link is wise to decant her milk into smaller containers. I found out the hard way that a gallon of milk (which weighs maybe 10 pounds) takes as long to thaw out as a small turkey, LOL! And Ashley's right about the yellow milk. It's pretty funny. I make sure to label it, because it sort of looks like chicken broth--and nobody wants chicken broth in their cereal!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-44557852298693525642010-02-16T07:41:08.955-06:002010-02-16T07:41:08.955-06:00Oh wow.

I wish I would've known this before almost killing myself in my kitchen trying to use all of my apples before they went bad. :)<br /><br />I had no idea you could freeze all this stuff!

Milk is definitely easy to freeze, just watch out for gallon jugs bursting once in a while because of the expansion of the liquid when it freezes. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's a mess during the thawing.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679600158510598106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-51114299417569613082010-02-15T12:32:40.388-06:002010-02-15T12:32:40.388-06:00good ideas!

Fruit and veggie purees (in 1/2 cup servings for things like Autumn Oatmeal and muffins) apple pie filling, homemade jam, muffins, bread, cheese, portioned-out meat/chicken, lasagna roll-ups, etc.<br /><br />I really enjoy having the summertime jams and veggies on hand this time of year.
