Freezer Challenge day #1

...or #2 for some of us.  LOL

Today I am going to utilize some round steak Substitute CHICKEN I have in the freezer and make steak burritos.

Freezer component:
Round steak CHICKEN... that wasn't round steak that I saw... it was ham.  LOL  So we'll use chicken and have grilled chicken burritos.

Fresh components:
Whole wheat burrito wraps
lettuce
tomato
onion
cheese
sour cream

Pantry component:
Canned organic black beans

This is your morning reminder to take out whatever you need to cook this evening, or tomorrow evening, too. 

OK  I took out a sirloin steak

from the fridge
zucchini
onion
garlic
teriyaki marinade

Pantry
I'll probably make hubby some noodles or rice

This is going to be a great freezer purge! Thanks for starting this!

I'm sick as a dog, but managed to get my ass in the kitchen long enough to throw dinner in the crockpot.  I'm making a brisket.  

Normally, I would do this low and slow in the oven, but I couldn't be bothered to be checking on the damn thing all day.  

Freezer:  Brisket

Pantry:  Tomato puree, tomato sauce, french onion soup mix, red wine (normally I would use Mogen David because after all, I'm making a Jewish brisket, but I'm out, so I subbed in a little marsala because it's sweet and along the same lines.  I didn't want to crack open a bottle of red wine for this), brown sugar, regular sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a few potatoes.

Fridge:  Ketchup

 I took out ground beef.

Making spagetthi. and we have a box of frozen bread for the rest of the family.

oh and I have several boxes of regular noodles. I cannot eat but the rest of the clan can.

Not much else.

Took out chops for tomorrow.

hmm... i saw your post yesterday.. see.. what i do is buy 57 of something i like.. then get tired of it at number 3 LOL... so i have 54 of the same lean quisnes.. LOL... so... i had a lean quisne for dinner

OMG I almost peed my pants laughing just now!!! I do the SAME thing with almost every aspect of my life so I know exactly what you mean :)

LOL... I usually buy a variety of them... but only a few at a time.  Usually however I need to fulfill my coupon requirement. 

Good for you for eating your lean cuisine =)  Keep it up and clean out that freezer!

Breakfast casserole for us tonight!

Sausage and shredded hashbrowns from the freezer.

Cheese, eggs and milk from the fridge.

Doing this as much as possible for lunch too so.....

dh is having a box of some appetizers of sorts for lunch.  Hot pockets for me and the kids.

My freezer is empty.....LOL. But I will gladly use up some meats for those of you who need help emptying your freezer!

This is a good idea though. I should get my mom to do it.....she is always complaining of using up the meats but never does.

I'll gladly share - come on over with a cooler! lol
