I put a mixture of mozzarella and jack into 1 pound bags. I have a kitchen scale. If you don't, just measure out 3-4 cups and that should be close enough. @Sara, I just finished repackaging mine, like 60 seconds ago. I put a mixture of mozzarella and jack into 1 pound bags.

I am so excited. Quick question- I bought a bunch of shredded cheese in the last few weeks on sale. How should I freeze them? Can I just stick them right in the freezer or should I repackage them somehow? I’m just getting started with freezer cooking! I am so excited.

I thought in a previous post when you were discussing making your own pasta/pizza sauce that you mentioned having a recipe for the summer when there were lots of tomatoes. @Jessica Fisher, Sorry!

I answered it in my head, but must have forgotten to do it irl. The USDA recommends keeping leftovers in the fridge no longer than 4 days, so yes, it's too late to freeze that chicken. But, in general, you can cook previously frozen meats and then refreeze the leftovers right away without a problem. Again, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. @s, Sorry!

I haven't been overly so. Is it possible that some of the water evaporated when you reheated? Your fix could be to add more water on reheat.

When you make something like soup or chili and freeze it, do you find that the spices seem stronger when you thaw it and eat it? I made some soup last month (during my first freezer cooking weekend of mayhem) and it tasted fine when I had a bowl then but now it is way too salty and quite spicy as well. Any thoughts?
