So much room in the freezer. So much happiness at getting it cleaned out!
Did I mention I have a small life?
So last time I had the following to deal with -
Turkey bones
Ham
Meat pies
Apple muffins
Seafood patties
Hawaiian chicken
I made another batch of turkey stock and it got used up on a chicken pot pie with biscuit crust AND a batch of Mac and Cheese done in the instant pot.
The ham became ham fried rice which the kids loved.
The meat pies are still in the fridge freezer.
The apple muffins got taken to work because no one here was eating them.
Seafood patties got eaten.
Hawaiian chicken got postponed because we had too many leftovers.

Last week was a tough one - I was short on time for menu planning, and we had a couple of nights already set so I didn't need much. I planned on heating up the leftover container of seafood stew I found, and to use the hawaiian chicken that hadn't gotten used the week before.
I took a bag of buns out for sandwiches etc.
We are getting into weird territory now - 2 (or possibly more) bags of hashbrowns, so much frozen spinach - both store bought and home frozen. Spicy sausage that I know the kids won't eat. Coffee beans. Lots of black bananas.
Also - I found TWO MORE half bags of ice. I married a hoarder.
_________________________________________
Neither the seafood stew or hawaiian chicken got eaten as we had so much leftovers from our lunar new years dinner and enchiladas.
The buns didn't defrost well and only a couple got eaten before they started to go moldy.
I have just finished my menu plan for the week and not much from the freezer is involved.
I'm going to use a block of frozen spinach for some creamed spinach tonight.
I'm going to turn some leftover holiday turkey into turkey cakes for tomorrow's dinner.
I found a freezer bag with a ground beef/pork combo we will use for Taco Tuesday.
The Hawaiian chicken is optimistically on the plan for Friday's dinner, but that is so far away who even knows what will happen.
