Using the things we have in our the freezer.

When stocking my pantry I use a list that has been proven over the years. I like to make sure there is everything I need when I am cooking or baking. One of the things that is frustrating to me is to have to run and get something at the store in the middle of baking or cooking.
Last night I checked my the inventory of my freezer. We have a small chest freezer in our basement, we want to get a bigger one but are waiting for a great sale. I couldn't do the meals I do, if I didn't have a chest freezer even a small one. Right away I thought of the meals I could make with the the meat and veggies I have in the freezer:) I was excited to see how much there was in there. (I wasn't able to go down and see what was there because of my health).
 I made a list of the things in the freezer and here it is:
2 Beef Roast
4 packages of 3-4 Pork Chops ea.
3 packages of 3 Pork Ribs ea.
15 lbs of 1 lb packages of Hamburger
1 lb of Buffalo
2 freezer bags of Runzas with 10 buns in each.
1 bbq chicken pizza
2 freezer bags of leftover pizza (pepperoni, and artichoke chicken..mmm)
2 bags of rhubarb
2 bags of shredded zucchini
1 bag of frozen green beans
1 bag of frozen corn
1 bag of stir fry veggies.

I take this list and put it up on your fridge and then you can cross off the things you use and add the things you make and freeze. I am such a list person, and I love it.
Now for my menu for the week: I will be attaching the copy.
When I do my menu I write down all the meals I plan then I make of list of the groceries that I need. Some days I do my menu in one day but sometimes life takes over. But last night I accomplished all of the menu and lists. I still need to do the coupons and match up for the weeks groceries.
Sunday is Roast, squash, and roasted green beans with almonds. I am peeling apples for desert, apple pie! Yum!

I hope I have helped you get ready for the week ahead. I will be blogging about some of the recipes I use during the week.

Thankful
Barb
