Freezer and Pantry Challenge

Hello Dear Reader,

Top draw of my freezer

On the lead up to Christmas, I have taken a leaf out of one of my favourite bloggers and am starting a freezer/pantry/use it up challenge, to make some room in both my freezer and pantry. Kristen, AKA "The Frugal Girl" has been doing a "freezer challenge" on and off for some time, but just recently has started up again with gusto.

Bottom draw of my freezer

Even one of the fridge/freezers next door (our Son's and Partners home) has some of our frozen food in it

So yesterday afternoon I did an inventory on what exactly is in my freezers and pantry and then I sat down and thought about how I could use these items up in interesting ways. I took everything out of the freezer draws, gave the draws a good wipe out, took a photo of the items and then promptly put them back, tidying as I went. I now know what is in my freezers and it's kind of tidy which will make it easier to use up those items. 

Puff pastry, duck fat, half a jar of salsa and half a bottle of passata

Flats buns, stock from Drunken Chicken, a container of chopped parsley and chopped coriander, dog mince, pork ribs, ice-cream and half a container of pure cream

Half a carton of chicken stock, frozen mixed veggies for the dogs, a container of lime juice, about 1 cup of frozen peas, bread crumbs and a loaf of turkish bread

And finally a bag of BBQ Pork buns, 190 grams of greek yoghurt, half a pack of pizza cheese, a container of chopped chilli, a container of chopped dill, 4 eggs yolks, a container of tomato paste, 2 egg whites, a container of passionfruit pulp, Jerk mixture for BBQ chicken, a container of curry leaves, a quarter loaf of rye bread, instant yeast and some matcha ice blocks our daughter bought while she was here
