Use What You Have Cooking

I admit to taking a spin on the book Use What You Have Decorating. When I say Use What You Have Cooking I’m talking about garden produce and items in your pantry.

As the summer begins to make it’s merry way into hibernation I find myself baking and cooking a bit more.  Also making extra meals for the freezer.

I recently sent one of my best friends a couple of my favorite freezer and mix cooking books so she could make ample use of her extra garden produce and stock her freezer with delicious meals and snacks.

As much as like cooking for the freezer I just don’t have the energy to make a day of it. Strangely enough I tend to make my freezer meals the day I come from  grocery shopping. I have all my ingredients fresh and ready to go.

Here is a list of what you’ll usually find in my freezer…

Lasagne (great tasting dinner the freezes well)

Parmesan Chicken (from The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet)

Beef and Ground Turkey Blend Meatballs (based off of the swedish meatball recipe in the Joy of Cooking

Master Beef Mix which I turn into soup (from Make-A-Mix)

And that’s it for completed meals. I also have homemade frozen cinnamon rolls and wheat blend dinner rolls that will be set out to rise and then bake.

This is all sandwiched by my ice cream, frozen chopped onions, carrots and celery. And frozen packages of ground beef, buffalo (my sister got me started on this), some steak.

So what is in your freezer?
