I am on a diet now, and this is my dessert. Good snacks too. I got heaps of them when they were $1 a container and have 2 chinese food containers full of them. They are so good! mmmmm.
Good for smoothies too. Or frozen cocktails...mmmm
I am trying strawberries this week. We'll see!
But I heard you can do blackberries, raspberries, grapes.
You can also
This is a great idea!! I remember when I was a kid and my mom would go on her diets, she would freeze grapes. I guess the point was to keep her mouth busy so she wouldn't eat as much?

Blackberries freeze real good, too. We're fortunate that blackberries here are like weeds, they grow in everyone's fences and they are very sweet. I just wash them and lay them to dry on cookie sheets and later freeze them, once they are "set", I transfer them to Ziploc containers. They are sooooooo good!

Okay so I am completely new to this and here is my question:
Now that we know what we can freeze...what's the best method for thawing these things out? Like someone mentioned doritos...how the heck would I thaw those out and them be GOOD?

I've frozen kitchen sink casseroles and they turned out great. One I did was a chicken and noodle one with some veggies and the other one was a macaroni, ham, broccoli, cheese chunks casserole. They both turned out great, and made a nice easy meal.

You don't need to thaw them at all. They don't really change at all by being in the freezer, they're just slightly cold. I pull them right out of the freezer and eat them right then. I put the bag back in the freezer when I'm done snacking. You could set them out for a couple hours if you want, but really, they don't taste any different to me!

Ah okay! I was thinking you'd thaw them and was just like "How the heck would they even be crispy then?" but I like the idea of eating them frozen. I have been addicted to eating ice (I'm anemic, oh the joy...) and I've found that eating anything really cold gives me almost the same effect. So eating frozen doritos may be awesome for me! Right now my kick is eating frozen smoothie icecubes (^_^)
