Leftovers

I am not a leftover person. I throw so much stuff away cause I just can't bring myself to eat leftovers. Now somethings are better the next day but usually I am grossed out...or within the 2...3..4 day I don't want that same gourmet meal again... Did ya catch the gourmet part..? yeah right. Anyways, I have started freezing left overs and with the stuffed peppers I even made more to freeze for after school snacks or a loner meal.. Which is tonight, I am home alone tonight and I wanted peppers. Now when was it that I made them, a few weeks ago? If I would have left them in the fridge I would have dumped them over the fence to the critters a week ago but instead I froze them and tonight I had a nice gourmet stuffed pepper meal without the work...which I love the most. They actually taste the same or even better then the day I made them and I didn't have to pay 3.59 to buy the Stouffers version. Yeah me.. So here's my questions-

Do you freeze food?
What kind of food do you freeze?
And any tips?

Love to hear from you, Cathy

Oh my, when I hit publish my recipe for stuffed peppers came up. It was August 25th.. Almost, almost a month ago.. I didn't realize it had been that long. I do think I will have stuffed peppers in the freezer all the time.. Little monster ate some last night too... it's a good thing.

Oh,, nevermind.. when I looked at the pictures again I said,, that's not when I made them. I did make them on August 25th and we ate them and froze them and ate them. I just recently made the big batch but I don't know what day it was on.. We keep this up and we may be sick of stuffed peppers by Halloween.

I am not a big fan of leftovers either, but I do freeze food. When I make chili, vegetable soup and spaghetti sauce with meatballs I always make enough to freeze and use for four or five more meals!! They keep well in the freezer and they are always quick and easy to pull out of the freezer and put in the fridge for the evening meal.
I have had NO internet at home since Friday around 4:30....a repairman spent four hours at the house last night and KINDA got me fixed up. Not sure it is right but will mess with it a couple days and see if it improves..
Hope all is well with you and your family!!
