[frozen-assets] New test run: Stuffed peppers

 

I sauteed onions, mushrooms, garlic, and the chopped-up lids of some
green bell peppers in butter/salt/pepper. Added a cup of raw rice.
Stuffed half of the filling into the peppers for dinner tonight (topped
with canned tomatoes and more garlic), and froze the other half of the
uncooked filling. I figure that way, I can thaw the filling, stuff fresh
veggies (peppers or zucchini or whatever) and shave off the prep time
from my next batch. I'll let you know how it goes.

It thawed really well, and was delicious over coconut quinoa (a pot of
quinoa with a tablespoon of coconut butter tossed in at the end). I'll
definitely add this to my freezer-cooking rotation.

Re: [frozen-assets] freezing brownies and cookies

 

Welcome back, Virg.

You sure can!  My favorite way is to let completely cool then wrap in portions (2 cookies or whatever your portion is) in plastic wrap and stack the 'packages' in a ziplock and seal (removing all extra air).  This way we just grab what we want, thaw and eat.  OK, so sometimes we don't thaw :)

Every baked cookie and brownie I've made freezes fine.  Just about any container or wrap would work, too.

Good luck!

I am new to this. My son, who for the last several years, has been the cook in the family (by choice), is going away to college. Now there is just my mom and I left. I will be doing all the cooking from now on, so I am so glad to get back to this group. I have a question to get me started :)

Can you freeze cookies and brownies? I know I can cookie dough, but I don't want to use the oven every time mom or I want a cookie, and since we are both diabetic, it would be best if there was not a full batch sitting on the counter going bad. :) How best? Aluminum foil, ziplock bags, something else?

Thanks! Virg

Re: [frozen-assets] freezing brownies and cookies

I would imagine that you could.My MIL cooks and freezes big batches of
cookies for much the same reason. She freezes them in large Tupperware
containers between layers of grease proof paper.Im hoping to start trying
to do the same along with freezing some raw dough.will post some results
when i get around to it.
My 11 week old daughter may slow things up :) please let me know how you
get on.

I bake "brownie muffins" (automatic portion control -- just use your regular
brownie recipe, but bake them like cupcakes) and freeze them in a ziploc. I
also freeze baked cookies (lots of varieties) that way.

Re: [frozen-assets] freezing brownies and cookies

 

I think your brownies would freeze just fine. Are you thinking of
wrapping individual pieces? That is what I do with a rich chocolate cake we bake
that is kind of a brownie consistency. I wrap each piece in plastic wrap
and then put the pieces in a plastic bag so I can take out a piece at a
time. You could do the same with cookies but maybe wrap several with plastic
wrap and put them in a plastic ziploc type of bag. I do this with nut
breads too. Double wrapping helps items keep better in the freezer.

[frozen-assets] Wonderful recipe for peanut soup

 

Hi All:
If you've never had it before, peanut soup is fantastic - especially if you make it at home with fresh ingredients. Here's a super easy recipe that can't miss:

Re: [frozen-assets] Re: (unknown)

 

I'd be glad to send them.  Since they're freezer recipes, I'll send them through the group but......., it'll be a few days before I'll have time to type them out.  I spent this afternoon defrosting the larger chest freezer.  The Southern Illinois peaches (our favorite) have just started to arrive and I've got 2 bushel to prep for the freezer tonight and tomorrow.  Then I'll be doing corn for the freezer since the local sweet corn started coming in a little over a week ago.  I've got a creamed corn recipe that is luscious (and I hate the commercial canned type).  If you want, I'll send that recipe too although it really isn't a frugal recipe.  It's great to have in the freezer for holidays and special occasions.

From: Janis Ent janis_ent@yahoo.com

I would love to see the other recipies you haven't already posted. My husband is possibly retiring next month and I'd like to be more frugal in our meals and more organized. Your posts look like things my family would really enjoy. Thanks so much.

[frozen-assets] Thai curry for the freezer: test run

 

Last night, I made one of my standards: Thai coconut curry. I tried to
choose things I thought would freeze well (didn't put potatoes in, for
instance), and rather than just tossing in ingredients, I wrote
everything down, just for you folks. :-) In a few days, we'll pull the
other half out of the freezer and I'll let you know how it is thawed.

Thai Coconut Curry
(Use regular coconut milk, not light, and I like to check the label for
added ingredients. Thai Kitchen Organic doesn't have any junk in it.
Also, don't stir or shake the cans; you'll need the harder cream to stay
at the top.)

[Optional: if you like your curry very saucy: set aside 1/3 cup flour
whisked into 2 cups water]
2 cans of coconut milk
2 onions, chopped
1/4 cup curry paste, or to taste (I use Mae Ploy if I don't make my own;
I used panang blend this time)
2-4 tablespoons fish sauce, to taste (if you're doing the optional extra
sauce, use more; if not, use less)
2-4 tablespoons soy sauce, to taste (if you're doing the optional extra
sauce, use more; if not, use less)
4 ribs celery, sliced
3 carrots, sliced
3 cans garbanzo beans (or about 5-6 cups cooked)

Open the cans of coconut milk and carefully add just the top half layer
(the harder "cream") into a large pot (I used my 6-quart soup pot).
Heat on medium-high until it's melted, then add the onions and curry
powder. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the onion is softened, then add the
rest of the coconut milk from the cans, and the remaining ingredients
(except the optional flour/water mixture).

Bring curry to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook until the
carrots are how you like them. I undercooked them a tiny bit this time
so that when they reheat, they'll still be how I like them.

If you're using the extra-saucy method, give the flour/water mixture an
extra stir, then add it to the simmering liquid and stir constantly
until it comes back up to a simmer, about 3-5 minutes.

Serve curry over rice or noodles or potatoes or whatever. How's that for
precision? :-)

Makes 12 cups (3 quarts), or about 6-8 servings. I split it up into 2
meals for 3 big eaters.

[frozen-assets] Re: Crockpot Meatloaf

 

I have several in the freezer right now and I like the fact that I can either put it in the crock or choose to cook it in the oven. My experience with putting it into the crock frozen solid has been great. Now that its summer I want to have something ready to eat that does not heat up the kitchen when I walk in the door from a hard day in the garden. This works great. I've not had trouble with extra liquid. There is a bit of juice at the bottom, but only a few tablespoons or so.

I would just advise that it can over cook, so if you are using a small or medium sized crock pot, check it after about 5 hours. I use both low and high settings, sometimes starting out low, then turning it to high if its not cooking fast enough, or vice versa depending on the time I put it in. I do recommend some time at high to kill anything that might have had a chance to multiply as it goes from frozen to thawed to cooking.

That said, I have a few small crocks that only have one setting, which seems kinda high and I use those as well, as I make small meatloaves (about the size of a small canteloupe) for just us three and sometimes two.

I've never thawed the meatloaf to cook in the traditional way, nor tried it from frozen in the traditional way, the crock pot is so much easier and carefree for me. Hope that helps!

[frozen-assets] Re: frozen meatloaf in the slow cooker ps

 

I use oatmeal in my recipe instead of bread or cracker crumbs, and put
potato or onion wedges on the bottom. I know someone said something about
having to drain part way through, but I normally don't-if you put the
potatoes or onions on the bottom and you end up with extra liquid in the
bottom, your meatloaf doesn't set in it, and you can use the potatoes/onions
for a side.

[frozen-assets] Re: frozen meatloaf in the slow cooker

 


I do it all the time. I make up my meatloaf and freeze it uncooked in
containers sized to work with my crockpots (I have several). I just spray
my cooker with cooking spray and put the meatloaf in (sometimes I put potato
wedges on the bottom and then put my meatloaf in) and cook on low. the newer
crockpots cook so much hotter than the old ones and it seems to work better
for those days when I need to start it in the morning and have to be gone
all day. Putting it in frozen extends the cooking time a couple of hours.
