What Would We Have Done Without Our Freezers?

I think this is a question most of us ask from time to time. It is so convenient to freeze a tasty cake or something that you can grab in a moments notice if you unexpectedly have company for tea or such. If you do not have enough freezer space, it is always a good idea to look at a small freezer such as the Frigidaire Chest Freezer, or as the full model name reads, Frigidaire FFC0723DW 7-1/5-Cubic-Foot Manual-Defrost Chest Freezer White.

Now for a recipe that is ideal for any Holiday, prepare it in advance and have it ready when you need it.
