Active vs. Fast-Rising Yeast
My recipe calls for fast-rising yeast. I have active dry yeast. Can I use it, and how? —Steve
Steve, yes absolutely, you can use active dry yeast in place of fast-rising yeast. It just might take your dough a little longer to rise. Happy baking!

Question
I have been trying to find a list/table of what and how long you can freeze leftovers such as meatloaf, lasagna, enchiladas in the freezer. I live alone and I keep throw away leftovers. I enjoy leftovers just find, however after the second time they are just too much. I would like to freeze some after I cook them. Can you provide me any guidelines?
