Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Hello all. My mother is coming for a 2 week visit and is ready to help me cook until we drop. I purchased a smaller self standing freezer and am wanting to gear up for some bulk cooking and freezing. We are on day 7 after restarting SCD (after 1 month with little progress.) This time through has been much more successful. Yeah! In any case, I was wondering if you all had some advice on what freezes well, longer term freezer storage tips, and freezing portions. Even though has only built up to a few foods, I thought we could make and freeze some dishes that he'll be able to eat down the line as well as some staples for cooking. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I wish I could get up to fully stocking a freezer... does you mom want to travel?? LOL I do a lot of snacks that freeze well in the dehydrator... but take or leave what you are up to... since i has numerous snack choices in his Dynamyte to pick all the time. Again tweek for where you are we are in our 3rd year. Snacks Cheese Crisps (dried cheese) Banana Chips (dried bananas) Pineapples (dried pineapples) Cheese Cookies (the recipe from the book) Peanut Butter Cookies (the recipe from the book) Cheese Cake (no crust and made with Carrots, I know... crazy but he likes it and no honey) Granola Chews I've made and frozen Chicken Cupcakes (or whatever cupcakes you want to make them to be really) I don't think I've missed any snacks... Meals Soup (the staple SCD soup always is about the only thing I do make a big ol' pot of and freeze up some) Spag. Squash All meats really, lamb I've cooked up and frozen, I don't know anything I've made and frozen wasn't good except cauliflower... Most Veggies freeze fine like I said only I've found so far is cauliflower... and personally I'm no fan of tomatoes... but sauce itself is fine... or such... but that's just me personally they taste fine. Sometimes I portion out other times I will do batches of the bulk item but again I've never gotten it down to really cook up a full freezer except ONE time when my freezer was defrosted by my daughter leaving the door OPEN... and that wasn't PLANNED so it wasn't like I had a lot of time to think through what I was doing LOL! My two cents... take care! Marlene Mom to i SCD Three years June 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Someone came and helped me do some cooking last week. We steamed a lot of veggies (cauliflower, carrot, zucchini, etc). Butternut squash might be good to freeze, I have cooked a couple of those and refridgerated them - it seems to make very tasty pancakes, it has a sweetness to it without a lot of vanilla or cinnamon or fruit added. We made tons of meatballs. I even bought some liver so I could puree it and add it to the meatballs for extra iron. We made a nutbutter cake (which lasted a week in the fridge). I also cooked a turkey and some chicken thighs. We froze some fresh fruit. Hope that helps! Jen, mom to Evie 3 1/2, ASD SCD 1 month > > Hello all.
