Notes
FLASH FREEZING:
You can flash freeze by placing the ingredients on a pan with parchment paper and sticking it in the freezer 20-40 minutes until the items are frozen. Unless instructed not to, make sure the food isn't touching so that they don't stick together when you go to take them out later!
