[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 304014, member: 1963"] Just remember that MANY herbs and some spices just don't freeze well at all. That is part of the reason the purchased meals are so laden with artificial ingredients. What husband used to do when cooking in bulk was to brown off meats in advance, pack them up. Blanch veggies, do the same, and pack up needed seasonings. It was work at the time of setup, but when you were ready to cook, all you really needed to do was to chuck the ingredients into the pot and go from there. With the seasonings, you got everything from tasteless to overpowering. For example, frozen thyme tastes an awful lot like listerine (as well it should since thyme oil is one of the active ingredients in listerine) Basil loses it's flavor and turns black. Keep your basil minced up and covered in olive oil in the fridge. Add it at the end of cooking and it tastes like fresh (the oil is also really nice in salad dressings and the like) [/QUOTE]
