The cleaning out the refrigerator freezer, meal plan.


I KNOW!!  Some exciting stuff right there in the title.  Stay with me though.  Or not.  Ha!!

I’m heading to the kitchen to see what’s in that one freezer.  I’ll be right back.

Okay, I’m back with an inventory.  This is so exciting. (tongue firmly placed in cheek)

  • 2 pizzas – we’ll ignore those for this week
  • 1/2 gallon swirl ice cream, not a meal builder here (unless I’m home alone) moving right along
  • 1/2 bag of shrimp – now we’re talking
  • 1 bag of oven fries
  • 1 bag of green beans
  • 1 bag of hash brown potatoes
  • 2 brie rounds
  • 1 pie crust (from 2010?, really) I threw it away
  • 1/2 box puff pastry (again, so old) it’s in the trash now
  • 1 gallon bag chicken broth in 1 and 2 cup portions
  • 1 gallon bag beef broth in 2 tablespoon portions
  • ham bone with some meat on it for soup (yum)
  • venison tenders (we want to grill these)
  • 3 quart bags of chicken breast cooked with BBQ sauce
  • 2 quart bags of chicken breast cooked with tequilla lime marinade
  • 1/4 bag mozzarella sticks
  • 1/4 bag ckn tenders
  • 2 freezer jams from Mom
  • 1 OJ concentrate
  • 1 apple juice concentrate
  • 2 quart bags blueberries
  • more cheese sticks (1/2 bag)
  • 12 meatballs ( I have no idea how old)
  • 1 1/2 bags lima beans
  • 1 roll breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 bag onion mix
  • 1/2 bag mixed veggies
  • 1/2 bag peas

Refrigerator leftovers to use up:  1 pound browned ground venison and 1/2 pound bacon.

I’m pretty sure I can come up with meals to use up most of it this week.

Monday: Hashbrown casserole; hashbrowns, 1/2 the browned venison, mixed veggies, chicken broth, cream and cheese.

Tuesday: white bean and ham soup in the slow cooker, I will soak the beans over night tonight. I will put in the half bag of onions and some chopped carrots from the frig.

Wednesday: finger food extravaganza (kids will love it!!) meat balls in bbq sauce, mozz sticks, chicken nuggets, pototo fries (1/2 the bag) and curried limas (the half bag) they won’t like them though.

Thursday: venison tenders (maybe wrapped in bacon, yum), green beans, rest of pototo fries

Friday: shrimp alfredo with peas

Saturday: Lunch, chicken tacos using 1 bag of tequilla lime chicken, and make spanish rice, maybe more limas  Supper, sloppy joes using rest of browned venison, steamed veggies from the veggie drawer, chips

Sunday: Lunch, BBQ chicken pizzas using tortillas, veggies and ranch  Supper, HUNKA (leftovers, hunka this hunka that)

That leaves 2 bags of BBQ chicken.  The jams, juices and broths get used as needed.  So do the fruits.  The sausage will get used for breakfast eventually.  The ice cream will be gone and replaced soon.  The pizzas will get eaten once we resume Friday pizza nights.  And there are a lot of popsicles (is that spelled right? spell checker isn’t helping here) in there too.

I will most likely change around the order before the week is over.

Wow!  That wasn’t so hard.  I had been dreading going into that freezer.
