You can refreeze vegetables, but not meat, fish or poultry. Enlist the help of family and friends, spend a day cooking all the meat, then you can safely refreeze. You will also have the benefit of many made ahead meals for those days you just don't feel like cooking.
Best wishes.

1.RE-freezing is not a food safety issue unless the food thawed too long at warm temperatures.
2.Refreezing is not recommended because of the quality loss mostly TEXTURE and appearance. When you refreeze large ice crystals form which break food cell walls causing the significant texture changes. So, upon thawing again you have much moisture loss (broken cell walls ) and less than normal texture -firmness.
Carrots might be a possible candidate for refreezing because of their firm texture.

No. Ice cream will have too many crystals. You can cook some meat and refreeze it.

you will have to cook the meat off then refreeze but as for burgers and ice-cream you will have to throw.you can claim of your house insurance for spoiled goods.

No as any bacterior in the food will have had time to multiply and all you would be doing is to setting yourself up for some food poisoning in the future

I recommend against it--especially for meat and bread. They will taste really bad when you finally do use them. ICe cream will be ok.

Cook what you can and then freeze it. Ice cream is very dangerous to re-freeze once defrosted so throw that.
Good luck

NEVER re-freeze frozen foods...is not safe to do so and you are recommended not to by the food standards agency in UK
