Some Organizing

I sorted through our freezers this morning. I wanted to see what was in them yet. As I did so, I took notes and planned next week's menu.

Here's some of the strange things I found in there that I plan on using in the next week or so:

  • two batches of leftover cooked chicken
  • one large container of chicken broth
  • one large container of cooked pumpkin
  • one big container of some sort of beans or lentils (scary that I don't know for sure?)
  • one container of frozen milk. (I think it was beginning to sour. Gross!)
  • several small bags of frozen zucchini
  • lots of assorted bags of frozen berries, including blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and gooseberries
  • at least three big bags of sliced jalapenos

So, on Sunday we will have spicy chicken soup. On Wednesday, we'll have chicken pot pie. On Thursday we'll have soup with the mystery legumes. Sometime soon I will make some pumpkin pies and berry pies. A few zucchini loaves are on the list too, as well as canning the jalapenos to make pickled hot peppers. Always a hit in this house.

It feels good to know what's in my freezers and to start using up stuff that would otherwise eventually end up in the composters by the garden.
