Tips for freezing most any leftovers: I prefer to use zip bags as they take up less room and are E-Z to stack vertically in baskets for E-Z identification.
First select a baking sheet with sides -- some call them jellyroll pans.
Place a piece of wax paper on top of the pan surface.
Did you know, if you turn the sheet of wax paper or parchment paper upside down, it won't curl up as bad. If you crease the paper to the edges of the pan, then turn them under with a smooth crease, that helps as well. And you can always place a small bowl or piece of fruit on top of the corners to hold it down while you work.
Date and identify the bags BEFORE filling.
Fill you bag ½ to ¾ full, the more liquid the less you should fill it. Gently lay the bag down holding the zip top up slightly so no liquid can escape. Gently push the excess air out of the bag and zip it shut.
Alternately stack as many bags on the pan as it will safely hold. Place it level and SAFELY secured in the freezer overnight. The next day transfer the upright bags to a basket in the freezer for E-Z keeping. Now you have INSTANT HEALTHY MEALS anytime you want them.
