So there are certain items I like to buy from Costco, bread, tortillas, milk, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, wild rice, etc but then there are items I buy and because we are a mini household ( I only have the kids 50% of the time) I have bought items that go bad.
The big container of fresh spinach and the large jar of crushed garlic in oil.
For both of these I have to freeze at least half.
The garlic we placed in ice cube trays, froze it and then stored them in a tubberware container in the freezer. I just take out what I need for cooking.
As for the spinach, again I freeze it in a Tubberware container or a Ziploc bag. The leaves stay individually. I use them in spaghetti sauce or in a smoothies.
Just thought I would share:)
PS if you do freeze the garlic use cheap dollar store ice cube trays because once they are used for the garlic you will never get the garlic smell out of them:(
You could use them again for freezing homemade pesto hmmm.... another blog?
