    Goodness, what a generous giveaway!! My favorite way is to have frozen strawberries ready for anything from smoothies to thawed and served over angel food cake in the summer. I LOVE frozen bananas for soft serve too!!

  8. Tina Hirshland said on March 22, 2013 at 2:49 pm

    Frozen mangoes are just good for afternoon snack in the summer.

  9. Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers said on March 22, 2013 at 4:51 pm

    I freeze everything! lol But my all time favorite is bread! It keeps it out of site for me so I don’t over indulge, plus when I want it to go with dinner or on a sandwich, I place it in the microwave for 20 seconds, then pop it in the oven for about 5 minutes, turns out as good as the day I bought it!!

    Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar
    one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses?
    If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything
    you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  27. Laura said on March 23, 2013 at 8:53 am

    I love the quick and easy way frozen vegetables help me to serve a large variety of foods for supper. That way there is always something for everyone and kiddos eat more veggies overall.

    I use frozen vegetables in almost all of my meals. But my favorite is simply laying frozen chicken, frozen cheddar cheese, frozen corn and black beans, and 8 Oz of frozen cream cheese in the crockpot for 8 hours. Toss in a jar of salsa and some fresh spinach and we have the inside of burritos with literally NO prep!
