What Do You Use Your Freezer For?

Here is a tip that you may not know about....

Do you have potato chips/tortilla chips (any flavour) in your cupboards that are about to go stale or that you want to hide from your teenagers? :-)  Put them in the freezer - they stay fresh and crunchy. The same goes for any crackers.

I also freeze those baking supplies that don't get used up within a month...raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans etc.

Someone was surprised that we freeze raw corn (in their husks - only outer leaves and silk end off). We take the husks off when they are partially thawed, then cook in boiling water (a bit of sugar and lemon juice added) for 8-10 minutes and you have the most wonderful tasty fresh-from-the-garden type corn!

If we have an overabundance of green peppers or celery, I just chop these up fine and freeze them raw...then just take out as needed.

Have a box of crackers about to go stale? Throw the batch into a blender and freeze the crumbs to use in any recipe asking for bread crumbs.
