Looking for a way to easily freeze soups, chili, stews and pasta sauces into individual portions? Portion your cooled recipe into a muffin tin or ice cube tray, cover and freeze. Once frozen solid, pop the “muffins” out and place in a heavy-duty BPA-free freezer bag and store in the freezer. Then you can take out as many portions as you need, gently reheat and enjoy. This also works great for baby food using a mini muffin tin, and even broth, pesto, organic buttermilk or wine for recipes where you may only need a tablespoon or two at a time. You can even freeze fresh herbs and/or garlic- just chop them up and cover with extra virgin olive or melted coconut oil, organic ghee or melted organic butter for quick sauteing. Flavor in a flash!
