I own one of those chest type deep freezers. You know the ones that seemingly suck food in never to be found again. I struggle to keep this puppy organized but have yet to find the perfect system. I did however find one practice that helps to keep certain dishes from succumbing to the same fate as the rest.
I make up large amounts of pizza dough which is pre-baked and ready to go into the oven once garnished. The problem arises when it comes to storing them as they are easily destroyed or broken. I recently bought one of those cheap dollar store cake holders which can handle at least 5 pizza rounds or several frozen pies. These plastic containers keep those delicate items safe and can be labeled for easy access.
So the next time your planned meatloaf goes missing resulting in a last minute pizza night, rest assured it will be in the same condition as you last left it.

Great Tip! I love it when a new purpose is discovered for an item. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a cake holder, I would love to make ahead some pizza dough and freeze it but I run into the same problem of storage in the freezer.
Thanks for sharing
My dad tends to make extra pizza dough and just freezes it in balls in saran wrap. Although you do have to plan a couple hours ahead of time so it has time to thaw out, but it doesn't seem to take that long.
I've done the same as Sarah above (wrap the dough in wrap, then thaw it before baking), however, I like this idea as well. I don't always remember to pull the dough from the freezer early enough, so I like the idea of it being that much closer to ready for toppings and the oven. We also don't eat wheat and generally don't buy anything packaged, so any way to have "convenience" foods more readily available is such a helpful thing for us.
Thanks for the nice tip. I like your blog. Thanks for visiting mine also. You have some great ideas!
I can't wait to sit down and read it all.
Thank you so much for sharing this tip!I love your blog.I will visit again.
