I didn't see anything in this article about blanching. I always blanch my garden vegetables before freezing. I think it helps preserve taste for the long run and even makes the look better. I do blanch tomatoes before freezing to remove the skins and chop them up to fit flat in the freezer bag. There are blank address sticky labels available to mark the date and item with before freezing. I freeze my bacon but use parchment paper and freeze them in three strips that way I don't have to thaw out the whole pack to get a few pieces. I use rubber bands to fasten on the original label and keep them in a nice little pack.

Even so, there are a few things to know about how long frozen food can last in a freezer (even a no-defrost one).1) How much water is in the food.High-water food tends drastically change its molecules during the Thawing process as water expand when frozen. Meat, vegetables and noodles in soups are a great example. Soup that gets frozen for a long time will become mushy and soft as the frozen water in the solid food will shrink and make said solid food fragile (soft).

For individual meals, freezing fundamental pre-cooked ingredients like brown rice, pasta, proteins, and cooked vegetables can make for easy lunches and individually portioned dinners down the line. These ingredients can be stored in separate containers and combined after the reheating process, or portioned out into smaller servings for easy access and portability. Check out our guides for freezing and thawing meats and freezing and thawing vegetables and fruits for more advice. These ingredients will keep well in airtight freezer bags or plastic containers, which can be stacked for easy storage.

Just wanted to thank you for this great page, which I have shared on Facebook with my friends. I now have a freezer full of healthy meals for those evenings I know I will be busy.
