Freezers

I am trying to use up what is in the freezer.  Inspired by my grandmother who would save two leftover greenbeans in a plastic container in the fridge or put half a cookie in a baggie, I often put extra pancakes or  leftover portions of a main dish in the freezer for later.  It saves preparation time and helps out in a time crunch.  However, it's easy to forget those well-laid plans.  Every once in awhile when I can't find things in the freezer, I get it this "use-it-up" mode.  I plan my weekly meals around what is in the freezer already.  That makes a big dent in the stock.  Take a hard look in the freezer and start using up what you already have.
