When putting foods up after a meal or after preparing, be sure to label what's in the dish, the date prepared, whether you're putting in the refrigerator or the freezer. By doing so, you'll be able to see the labels upon opening the door to look in at what all you have available to eat immediately.

Terri, I found the grooviest tape for using as frig or freezer tape that WON'T come off the food container and will even stick to containers that are already cold. I was SO discouraged about even freezer tape coming off things in the freezer. It's 3M's masking tape for hard to stick surfaces. I am so glad to have found this tape! It's got high adhesion and it says it won't come off wallboard and paint after 3 days, but I've never had any trouble whatsoever getting it off any of my containers.

I just discovered a very helpful idea for storing leftovers for the freezer or refrigerator. I always have plenty of butter tubs/sour cream/cottage cheese containers that I just can't bring myself to throw away. I used to put leftovers in them, then forget about them and throw them away. I just realized that if you take a permanent black marker and write the item and date on either the side or the top of the container, its easy to identify, and you don't have to open 5 different ones to find what you want!
thanks for letting me know, Susan, I'll definitely be looking for this!!
