    Some days are just perfect for a nice, hearty soup. However, prepping and cooking a homestyle soup can be an all-day process and usually makes a large batch. A great way to meal-prep is to freeze your own soups and stews, including leftovers. Simply cool, portion, and transfer to freezer-safe, air-tight containers and freeze until ready to eat. Or make your life easier with Omaha Steaks ready-to-cook soups and stews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>8. Dairy Products<\/h3>\n

    Never run out of shredded cheese, milk, or butter again with a well-stocked freezer! To freeze milk, freeze in the original jug or transfer to a freezer-safe jar or bag, always leaving extra room for expansion. Shredded cheese and butter can be frozen in their original packaging until ready to use.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>9. Desserts<\/h3>\n

    Don\u2019t forget about dessert! You never know when a craving for a decadent sweet treat will strike so keeping desserts in the freezer is a smart way to plan ahead.

    <\/div>\n

    <\/a>10. Cooked Rice and Noodles<\/h3>\n

To freeze noodles, cook al dente and toss in olive oil or butter before freezing. When you need a quick side dish, just defrost, heat, and serve.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>11. Frozen Vegetables<\/h3>\n

    A meal isn\u2019t complete without side dishes.

    <\/a>13. Bread and Baked Goods<\/h3>\n

    Stocking up on bread or buy more than you need? Simply freeze the loaf and defrost to enjoy. You can also freeze fresh-baked breads, homemade cookies, and most pastries.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>14. Fresh Herbs<\/h3>\n

    Fresh herbs taste wonderful in recipes, but most recipes only call for a tablespoon or two, leaving you with more fresh herbs than you need. Don\u2019t let those go to waste. Freeze herbs by dicing and measuring into ice cube trays. Cover with water or oil and freeze. Each cube will be perfectly portioned with fresh herbs for your recipes.<\/p>\n

    Cooking and eating at home is easy with a fully-stocked freezer. And with a freezer full of Omaha Steaks, being prepared tastes amazing.<\/p>\n
