Freezer Friendly Recipes

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ... 

One of the best ways to reduce food costs is to reduce food waste, and my favorite way to do this is to cook freezer-friendly recipes. Being able to stash my leftovers in the freezer means not having to eat the same thing for five days in a row and I love being able to reach into my freezer for an easy-to-reheat meal when I’m too tired to cook. Having a freezer full of pre-cooked single-portion leftovers makes life so much easier and keeps me from wasting money on take-out or delivery. If you also love this type of meal prep, we’ve got a massive list of our favorite freezer-friendly recipes for you, including breakfast recipes, soups & stews, main dish recipes, and dessert recipes. Enjoy!

How To

How do you make a garlic press?

A garlic press is a valuable tool in every home cook's kitchen. It can be used to quickly mince garlic into a paste. You can also crush whole garlic cloves to make buttery spreads or garlic seasonings.

But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. These tips will help you get started.

First of all, you'll need to get a large bowl. Place the bowl beneath the press, and then pour the crushed garlic in it. Now, adjust the pressure regulator valve until it reaches maximum.

Next, turn your handle clockwise to hear a click. You will be able to slide the blade over the bowl by lifting the top part of your press. Continue turning the handle counterclockwise to close the blades.

Finally, remove the pressed garlic.

Here are some ways to make this versatile tool even more useful:

• Add minced garlic to soups, sauces, salads, and dips (or even as a seasoning)
• You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
• Before baking, crush whole cloves of garlic on pizza dough
• Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
• Use the press for homemade pesto
• Puree garlic into a smooth vinaigrette
