Found this on I Village:
use your freezer
Your freezer can help lower your food costs like nothing else. Flash-freezing is one of my favorite methods for storing fresh produce, meat and baked goods until I am ready to use them. It's pretty simple:
1. Dice the vegetables or fruits, cut up meat into portions and slice or separate baked goods.
2. Place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
3. Place in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours on sheet pan.
4. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags. (Always double bag them.)
In one particularly well-watered week, our garden produced more peppers than we could eat. So I just diced them up and put them into freezer bags to use later. Flash-freezing freezes each piece separately instead of freezing them into one big lump. Fruits will be at their lowest prices during their growing season, so stock up and freeze them to enjoy all year long in smoothies!
