I'm such a know-nothing when it comes to making and freezing things ahead of time. I really need to start doing this though to save time and to have healthy things on hand when I don't feel like cooking. My freezer is always bare and I'd like to stock it up with 'ready to go' meals. So I need to know the basics of how to do this. Here are my questions...
Can you freeze cooked foods or just pre-assembled casserole type dishes?
If it has to be uncooked do you have to thaw it out before cooking? How long does that usually take?
What are the foods that you CAN'T freeze? I'm unsure about: cooked lentils, mashed potatoes, fettucinni alfredo, rice, bean chili, mock meatloafs, stews, mac & cheese, okay just about everything... I told you I know nothing about this.
