Oh, I do this all the time. I just sometimes burn out on it.

We've cooked a few dishes that haven't done well in the freezer. They refrigerate well, but just don't survive the freezer.

Ya know, I try to do that too...but for me, the biggest mess is the pots and pans that everything was cooked in! And it's tough to wash that stuff "as you go."

My daughter is one of those who washes everything as she goes, even when we are canning together in the summer. I have no idea where she got the habit, certainly not from me or her mother in law. She makes me sick. I hate the clean up, I hate housework and I hate a mess, but I love to cook, live with the mess and sometimes even have a clean house. Her's is always perfect. Both my girls are that way, damn them. Thank God my granddaughters take after me.

I love cooking because as I am preparing the food, I get hungry just smelling and touching the ingredients.

I can't imagine Fettuccine Alfredo doing well in the freezer. Reheating it would be a nightmare.
