But this trend?</p><p>I’m fully on board. It’s about filling your freezer with little things that make weeknight cooking feel like you actually have your life together.</p><p>This isn’t bulk meal prep. This is freezer magic – a stash of flavour bombs and shortcuts that save you mid-week.</p><p><br></p><p>Here’s what’s in my current rotation:</p><p> Flavoured butters: mix butter with garlic and herbs, or miso and sesame oil, or</p><p>truffle and parmesan. Roll into a log, freeze, and slice off coins as needed.</p><p> Pesto ice cubes: blitz wilting herbs with oil and garlic, freeze in trays. Add to pasta,</p><p>soups, sandwiches – boom.</p><p> Rice balls: leftover rice + soy + sesame = freezer patties you can pan-fry from frozen.</p><p> Wine cubes: splash of red or white to rescue a bland dinner. You’re welcome.</p><p> Cookie dough blobs: bake one, freeze ten. Smug levels: high.</p><p><br></p><p>Stock your freezer like you’re feeding your future self – or just buying yourself five quiet</p><p>minutes.</p><p>- Simon</p>","author_name":"Yumi Stynes"}
