I always make a double batch of rice and then put the rest in quart freezer bags, quick reheat and I have a side dish or starter for fried rice.
Individual slices of pie, if there is any left, homemade granola and dog treats (nearly the same recipe), individual lasagna, enchiladas, soup, stew, pizza dough. Really just about everything.
I also freeze cake mixes. Just put them in a freezer bag to protect them.
Applesauce is great frozen, especially homemade applesauce. I leave chucks of cooked apple in it.
If I have any homemade leftover cream cheese frosting... in the freezer it goes.
Also a chest freezer is much better than a regular freezer (attached to your fridge) in your kitchen.
You won't get the freezer burn in a chest freezer

I hadn't thought to freeze cake mixes. This could really come in handy when they are on sale. I do store flour, cornmeal, and sugar in the freezer. I purchase in bulk when on sale and keep in the freezer.

Do you mean the cake mixes still in the box? Thanks!
Yes... the cake mixes in the box...in a freezer ziploc...in the deep freeze.
I buy them on sale & freeze them.
I wonder if DH cake mixes will ever be on sale again ? Crazy economy. I won't pay the prices for a cake mix that are in the stores today. having them in the freezer just makes me smile. LOL...
Battered and fried foods
Cooked egg whites and yolks, as well as icings made with egg whites
Cottage and ricotta cheeses
Custard and cream pies or desserts with cream fillings, however, heavy creams that contain over 40% fat do freeze well
Mayonnaise
Mushrooms, soft fruits, and salad vegetables tend to lose crispness and firmness when frozen
Potatoes, especially when they are cubed, cooked thoroughly and used as a part of a stew or soup, potatoes aren't good candidates for a freezer
Soups and stews made with potatoes, which can darken and become mushy when frozen
Sour cream
Stuffed chops or chicken breasts
Tomatoes become watery and limp.
Whole eggs in the shell, whether raw or cooked

Good to know. The only thing in this list I would have considered would be the mushrooms so I won't do that. Thanks!
