' For some unknown reason (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it), I decided on June 6th it was time to go through my fridge freezer and see what was in there. Here’s the final list, after throwing out a bunch of stuff that had either expired or I couldn’t identify:
Asparagus, 1 lb, 1 pkg
*bbq spicy pulled pork, 1 pkg, 06/03/09
*black beans, 2 cups, 2 pkgs
blueberries, 1 lb pkg
bread yeast
broccoli, 1 lb pkg
butter (unsalted), 5 lbs,
carrots, ½ pkg
Cauliflower & cheese, 1 pkg
celery (for soup)
chicken breast, 1 breast
*chicken broth, 2 cups, 1 pkg, no date
*chicken broth, 2 cups, 2 pkg, 05/07/09
chicken nuggets, 1 serving
chicken tenders, less than 1 lb
corn, 2 partial pkgs
frozen yogurt tubes
fruit chiller
garlic toast with cheese, 4 or 5 slices
ground chuck, 1 lb, 2 pkgs
ground chuck, 1.5 lbs, 1 pkg
hot dogs, 1 lb, 3 pkgs
*jerk pork, 1 pkg, 04/27/09
*kidney beans, 2 cups, 2 pkgs
oat bran
peaches, 1 lb pkg
peas, 1 lb pkg
pepper & onion mix, 1 open pkg
Philly Gourmet, 1 pkg
phyllo dough, 1 full roll, 1 partial roll
*salsa shredded beef, 1 pkg, 04/05/09
soft pretzel, 1 pretzel
soft pretzel bits, most of a bag
teriyaki veggies, 1 pkg
tilapia fillet, 1 fillet
walnuts, 2 x 16 oz. pkg
Anything in the list that’s marked with an * is something I cooked (planned overs) or I cooked in bulk (the beans – I cook 1 lb packages of dried beans, then freeze them when they’re at the “ready to be thrown into a dish” stage). Any dates listed are the dates I put the thing in the freezer.
Now that I’ve done this list, my fridge freezer is now organized, and I have a better idea of what’s in there, and what I need to use and when. Good thing, as I’m likely to be making up the grocery list tonight and doing the shopping tomorrow. Expect to see things made with phyllo dough and the beans, as those have been in there the longest and need to be used soon.
