I freeze nearly everything that's leftover from the garden after the summer/fall harvest - cherry tomatoes that can be roasted later, chives, rhubarb, zucchini, green beans, corn. I cook beets and squash before freezing though. Also jalapenos, freeze nicely, too. Also freeze leftover cookies, tea cakes, muffins.
Lovely to see you in my inbox Lynn. I batch cook dall and other meals. Make flavoured butter and put it in. Baked or roast potatoes, leftover veggies, bread etc. It makes prep so much easier.
oh that’s sounding great and thank you for the tips ! i’m a great user of my freezer, both for store bought food and for my own batch cooking so that’s really so helpful and interesting
If I had the space, I would buy a larger fridge freezer. I often buy ready-frozen vegetables to use later. It's so handy to open up a packet and drop a handful into whatever you are cooking at the time.
superb idea for tips....I'm a freezer-holic to cut down on evening prep time. I'll freeze stir fried chicken and other protein to have ready to add fresh vegetables
That's a good idea—something I should do. Saves trying to thaw portions of whole chicken breasts, then cutting them into pieces; it's much better to chop them up first.

I need to get back into batch bread baking. It freezes so well. Flavoured butter sounds nice.
