The other freezer is mostly fruit and veggies, breads, etc. I don’t buy many prepackaged foods, mainly just ingredients, and we generally eat leftovers as we go. I’m currently working on my canning skills so I can also fill my pantry with homemade items. It’s a fun hobby!

I would throw all of the Mexican type foods in a deep skillet with cheese and half of the hash browns on top like a Mexican style Shepard's pie and serve it with the tortillas. The bread and cinnamon rolls would make a nice cinnamon roll bread pudding with the other half of the hash browns as a side. Maybe a surf n turf style pasta with the shrimp and chicken. The veggie burgers or chicken could go with the stir fry veggies and rice for, well, stir fry lol. Chicken nuggets for chicken parmesan with the croissants on the side, or chicken croissant sandwiches might be yummy.

There are a bajillion recipes out there I could look up with the ingredients I have, but it’s most helpful to see your thought process and how you make certain choices (eg: what should I defrost for tomorrow? Could I slow cooker it or do i have the time to cook on the stove? Etc…) And hot dog buns French toast? GENIUS. Thanks Jordan!

I have done this for the last 4 months! First we moved in to our in-law's and needed to use up 3 freezers of food. Now we are all moving out of state together and have 3 freezers of my in-law's food to go through! Whenever I need to eat through a freezer or pantry, I do not allow myself to buy any groceries except fresh produce, eggs, and dairy. I make my own bread, tortillas, biscuits, etc, and freezers usually have loads of meat. Limiting what I buy really forces me to get creative with what I have!

I also buy the biggest containers of dry ingredients as possible. The savings really add up (I've saved $3000 per year the last two years simply by changing our grocery spending habits) and it's so much better for our health to be eating better.

I have the hardest time cooking and end up buying a lot of things like frozen pizza and lasagna as well as canned Chicken noodle. Things I wouldn’t normally touch with a ten foot pole. We try to eat fairly healthy with grass fed some organic etc. before I got pregnant I made my own bread, tried canning and sourkraut etc. we have our own cow and chickens which are not producing at the moment. Last couple weeks I have tried doing some food prep and was part success part failure. I just need really easy food that the kids can do them selves (ages 2-8) through the week I would love to see more meal videos on what to do when you have almost no energy and even less brains.

I’d make stir fry chicken, chicken Alfredo, and chicken noodle soup with all the chicken. With the chicken nuggets that would be a either a quick dinner or lunch. You could even take the chicken and make fajitas with it and use that other bag of stir fry, the tortillas. You have the potential to make some amazing breakfast burritos with the hash browns. With the rolls you could pair it with a hearty crockpot meal or even our lunch meat on it/do sliders. This freezer has so many possibilities 🤣

I’m surprised you don’t use the crock pot liners - game changing when cleaning up.
