About freezing foods--I sometimes use a good reference cookbook like Joy of Cooking that explains what foods are good for freezing, how to prepare them, how long they last, etc.
Just remember, bacterial growth is not stopped by freezing, only slowed down, so if you're worried about spoilage, you have to use fresh food, don't contribute to spoilage by having it sit at room temperature too long; use only fresh foods and fully cooked meats; and don't contaminate utensils, containers, cutting boards with raw meat juices.
The other food questions I'll let somebody else answer.
