I’ve become a big fan of the freezer since I’ve started my “extreme stockpiling”.  I’m always curious though as to what freezes well and what doesn’t.  Thanks to Kelly @ Faithful Provisions I can share with you this great list of do’s and don’ts when it comes to freezing.

Foods That Don’t Freeze Well:

• cream cheese
• sour cream
• cottage cheese
• heavy cream (not to whip)
• pies with cream or custard fillings
• mayonnaise
• lettuce
• cabbage
• celery
• endive

Foods That Do Freeze Well:

• Kale (blanch it first)
• Pesto
• Yogurt (best if eaten frozen)
• Fresh Herbs (chopped in ice cube trays with water)
• Butter
• Beaten Eggs (for quiches, scrambled eggs)
• Shredded Cheese
• Dough i.e. Pillsbury Biscuits, Pizza dough (just fully defrost before you work with it)
• Grapes (eat them frozen)

Foods You Should Freeze:

• Nuts (can turn rancid due to the nut oils)
• Parmesan (grated kind, I can keep it longer)
