Freezer Cooking – Part 2
Thinking about storage.
There are many options for you to use when you were doing freezer cooking. Some are more economical than others in the long term, while some are more economical in the immediate time frame.
Ziploc bags are probably the easiest to use when you’re just getting started. You can often get them on sale, and they can be used again and again for dishes that are not greasy or do not have meat. Just try to get as much air as humanly possible out of the bag to minimize freezer burn. When using a freezer bag I like to close it completely except leaving enough room for a drinking straw to go in and I use the straw to suck out the air and then quickly finish closing the bag.
You can also use freezer containers. You can buy them from Tupperware a lot of their items come with a warranty or purchase them inexpensively at places such as Wal-Mart or Target. When purchasing freezer containers, buying one of the large economy packs with a variety of sizes and shapes is a good idea. That way you’ll have a container for just about everything.
Some people use aluminum foil. Just be certain that you mark anything wrapped in foil well. Writing with a marker on the foil will usually disappear so writing on marking tape, then applying the tape to the foil is best to make it easy to read.
The Pyrex casseroles are great. You can shop around and find these inexpensively. You’ll probably find the most versatile size is the traditional 9 x 11. Just be sure at the size you get will fit in your freezer and will not be more that what you can use at one time once it is thawed and cooked. Keep in mind that he cannot take it from the freezer to the oven, you will need to defrost first – I learned that the hard way!!!.
I like to use a combination of a couple of items. I love love love my Food Saver!! I love using it to freeze casseroles, vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, and soup. I also like to use recyclable aluminum pans (try getting some from your favorite restaurant) for things like lasagna & meatloaf. I usually put lasagna in the aluminum pan and then in the food saver too.

Tips for Storing Oil
If you are like me you try to have some cooking basics on hand. It’s hard to make frugal meals or meal plan if you have nothing in the pantry. Additionally, I keep extra basics on hand for emergency purposes.
Canola oil is my oil of choice. Did you know that there are things you can do to make your oil last longer? Yes, there are!
1. Keep your oil in a cool place. Most olive oils and canola oils will stay good for around 7-9 months after opening if kept tightly closed and in regulated temperatures. A few times I have had oil go rancid before the expiration date. But that is rare since I use it quickly and as long as I keep it cool and in a dark place.
2. If at all possible, keep your oil away from light. Keeping it in a cupboard with a door, or even covering it with cloth if it is on an open shelf will help.
If your oil is rancid (smells bad and has an awful taste), don’t cook with it. I know you can make soap with rancid oil but I haven’t tried my hand at that.
Any tips from you?

Don’t Hit a Dead End: Storing Water for Emergencies
Think back to the last time your internet connection or electricity wasn’t working. If you’re anything like me, it was a frustrating experience! The most humorous thing about these moments is how many dead ends you come across. For example, you might try to watch a video online when your internet suddenly decides to play dead. No worries, you think. I’ve actually been meaning to do some online banking. Of course, that’s not an option either, but since we’re so used to the internet being available, it’s tough to really grasp the fact that it’s not working at the moment. In the next few hours, you’ll probably try again and again to do something on the web, forgetting each time that all of these activities are off-limits.
The same is true when the power is out. Can’t watch TV? That’s okay; you can microwave a snack instead. Microwave not working? That’s okay; you can go listen to music. Oh, the stereo won’t work either. Everywhere you turn, another dead end is there to greet you.
You might be wondering how internet connections and power outages relate to water storage. While most of us deal with loss of internet and electricity on a frequent basis, losing access to clean water is much rarer in today’s society. You can bet, though, that a lack of water will lead to even more dead ends and a feeling of helplessness. Being without water will result in thirst and dehydration, as well as increased difficulty with cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene. That’s why it’s so important to store water in your emergency supply.
