Many times when I help my clients organize their kitchens and refrigerators, I notice that they don’t have their freezers stocked properly. They either don’t have anything in it or it is stocked so full that they can’t get anything out. The key to using your freezer effectively is having it organized properly so you know what you have so you can pop it out and prepare a meal in an instant. Make sure to keep like items together (fruit, veggies, soups, desserts, breads, dinners, etc.). Go through your freezer on a regular basis, try to toss any of the items that have freezer burn and make a list of items you need. Try to buy things when they go on sale, you will save money at the register and down the road when you aren’t ordering take-out a couple times per week.
My freezer is usually stocked with easy meals from the Trader Joe’s freezer section and homemade favorites but now that I have been on a low carb diet since May I have had to make adjustments. It has been especially hard to find quick breakfast and lunch options (I am a cereal and PB&J girl) but I have figured out what I like. I am going back to the doctor on Monday to be reevaluated and I will find out how much longer I need to keep up my low carb lifestyle and if I need to have any further surgeries. Until then, here is a look at what is in my freezer…
