Freezing Sandwiches?

[myson]

used to do this for my girls for school. peanut butter, vegemite, jam, honey, nuttela, pickles, cheese, chicken and mayo.

not ham, they didnt like it. bit soggy.

but if you wrap in baking paper then seal in zip lock bag to freeze... then take out of zip lock when you put in lunch box and just leave baking paper on... you dont get the sogginess so much.

bit fiddly with all the wrapping but i used to get the girls helping... AND... i would do 3 weeks at a time.

best idea EVER!

wow, i would never think to do that!! its sounds like such a good idea! i'm going to ask dp if i can start making him sandwiches for his lunch! (he usually buys lunch)

i guess it would be handy on the days that me & dd are out all day.. just grab some from the freezer and go!

im excited! lol

Have you guys tried this yet? Curious as to how the sandwiches tasted!

Eating them as we speak - DELICIOUS! Tried both the turkey, cranberry jelly, swiss cheese and carrot ones and the salmon, cream cheese and roast capsicum so far and all VERY good. And I love my tucker so I'm quite fussy.

Great for when you're home too and want to take the kids to the park without faffing around giving them lunch first - just defrost in the morning, then you're set.

DP is usually averse to freezing anything but I've even won him over and he tells me I'm on to a winner.

Apart from the convenience, I've worked out this will save us roughly between $250 - $300 a month!

Fantastic Fiona! So they're not soggy at all??

[Madissun]

Im going to start doing this too!

Nope, definitely not soggy though I'd probably avoid tomato because sandwiches go soggy with tomato even if they're not frozen IYKWIM. I used a Cape Seed loaf from Bakers Delight and some white rolls too. The sandwiches seemed fresher than the rolls for some reason even though they were bought at the same time.
