How Long Can You Freeze Food - A Complete List

I often wonder how long I can keep things in the freezer...now this chart tells me the answer!

Cilantro Green 'Goddess' Dressing

Inspired by the Green Goddess Dressing recipe from talented 'The Wednesday Chef', I am now hooked on this fresh, zippy and complex tasting dressing (or dip).

What You'll Need:

• Food processor
• 2/3 cup plain sheep yogurt
• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 diced roughly diced green onions
• 1 Tbsp lime juice
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Sriracha sauce

What You'll Do:

• Put everything into your food processor and blend until smooth and well combined
• Serve as a dip with crudites (or ripple chips...yum!) or use as your new favourite salad dressing

This amount makes enough to fill a 1 cup glass jar, which I like to you use, as you can easily close the lid and store it in your fridge for up to one week.

The STEWART SCORE:
Taste: 2+ 
Appearance: 2/2
Ease: 2/2

Sweet Potato Mac 'n Cheese

Mac 'n cheese without the cheese.
This recipe delivers on the taste, the texture and the overall warm, gooey feeling you want out of a comfort food...but with way less fat!

What You Need:

• 3 pots
• 1/2 large sweet potato (1/2 cup once cooked and mashed)
• 2 cups whole wheat macaroni
• 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/6 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp low salt soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp lime juice

  
What You'll Do:

• Peel, soft boil and mash your sweet potato
• Salt then boil a a pot of water. When boiling, add in your two cups of macaroni noodles and cook according to your package directions
• As the water is boiling, use your third pot and add your olive oil and flour to make a roux
• Cook oil and flour for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly until a lighter colour and a gently bubbled texture
• When cooked, add in your mashed sweet potato and stir
• Add in salt, garlic powder, soy sauce and lime juice 
• Stir continuously until boiling
• Reduce heat to low and keep stirring occasionally until your pasta is ready
• Add your sauce to your drained pasta and stir to cover
• Serve hot and enjoy!

This low-fat comfort food dupe is packed with fibre and truly does take like the cheesey variety you've grown up with.
It makes a lovely side dish or a serve-alone dish.

The STEWART SCORE:
Taste: 2/2
Appearance: 1/2 (nothing fancy about how this looks!)
Effort: 2/2
