Question.... If I get an energy burst... can I freeze these? It would be worth the effort to make a double batch...

Cheri.... These are kick butt! Oh My God... I ate 2 helpings... so much for diet... but what a way to go! For real, I have NEVER had any as good.
I had loaned my ricer out, and had to push through a colander. It worked.
