My Hands Are Cold

My hands are cold, because I just went through our highly disorganized freezer and wrote down everything inside it. I pulled everything out, wrote down what we had and how much of it there was, and put it all back in. Funny, when you stack everything nicely, it makes it seem like there's more room in there somehow. Nice. :-)


The reason I did all that strenuous work is because I want to put together some freezer meals. I want to be able to just pull something out of the freezer to thaw in the morning, heat it in the evening, and have a delicious meal without having to do all the work of putting it together every day. Plus, it will be good to have some experience with freezer meals under my belt for when I'm further along in pregnancy and preparing for when the baby's born.

But before I can start putting together freezer meals, I have to clear out some room in the freezer, which means figuring out what's in there and how I'm going to use it! That's the next step - deciding what I'm going to use and how. For instance, I have four baggies of pureed squash. Gotta figure out something to do with that! What should I do with my 3 quarts of broth? What about that loaf of bread dough? I'm sure lots of the chicken and ground beef will go into my freezer meals, so that's taken care of. But what about the brown bananas and shredded zucchini?

Anyway, I'm just excited about having completed the first phase of my freezer meal experience. Next, I've got some planning to do!
