Freezing food for later use

I have recently started freezing healthy food like fruits and veggies so that I can use them later.  Especially when I can get a good deal on them.  Recently I bought 4 dozen ears of corn from a friend.  I was instructed on how to keep it for the winter by this friend, which was great advice.  You will take the outside of the corn off, then boil it on your stove top for approximately 10 to 15 minutes or until the corn has changed to a darker color than the uncooked corn and becomes softer than the uncooked corn.  You will then cut the corn off of the cob and place it into freezer bags.  I make sure I have enough servings in 1 bag so that all I have to do is grab 1 bag out of the freezer for 1 meal.  Then once the corn is in the bag, I let it cool for 2 to 4 hours depending on how much corn you put into the bag.  Then you will be able to put it in the freezer for later use.  When you go to use the frozen corn, place a small amount of water in a pan, put the frozen corn in the pan and boil until corn is hot, then it's ready to eat!

Fruit---This is my favorite topic!  I bought lots of strawberries and bananas at the store this week because I got a great deal on them.  I know that I will, in no way, use this much in a week before they go bad.  So, I placed 1 banana in a freezer bag, and about 8 strawberries in another freezer bag.  Then when I go to make smoothies all I will have to do is throw 1 bag with banana and 1 bag with strawberries into my blender to make my smoothie.  This works with most fruits.  You may want to cut up your peaches, mangoes, etc first, they are much harder to cut up when they are frozen.  See my smoothie recipe to make a great smoothie with your now frozen fruit.
