Freezer talk

Well hello out there blogging world.  Finally not so sick, everyone in the house is much better as well.   What a great morning, got up feeling great.  So I thought it would be a great time to blog, smelling the chicken cooking for soup later, and having a nice cup of tea.  A few days ago I was talking with my mom and she told me this would be a great blog idea, and it is.  Was going to do it later, but I got thinking winter is coming up, so that might mean some of us are filling the freezers.  But how many of us now what is all in the freezers?  As I asked my mom have you ate from your freezer?  now what I mean is have you stop buying things to fill your freezer so you can clean it out and start new?  buy nothing for it just eat what you have in there?  Well her answer was no but most people do not do this, they just keep filling up the freezer.  Here is my idea for some people ( I do this as well, plus one more) I go throw my freezers ( I have 3) every month.  Only takes me 30-50 mins so less then an hour.  Now by going throw it every month not only do I now what is in but nothing get freezer burnt, this is why when i go throw it I look for holes or tares in the bags and if there are they go in the fridge and get cooked for dinner for how ever many bag I find.   Then there is eating though the freezer.  Now I don't mean eating everything out of it, I just mean eating enough out of it that you can clean it and start new.  Now this is easier me due to having 3 freezers, I have one for meat and pre-made meals, then one for veggies, grains and cheeses. Then the small one above the fridge this one I use for pre-made breakfast foods, pre-made lunch snacks and odds and ends to make in to things. So when I eat from the freezer we never clean them right out but they are empty enough that i can move things in to one freezer and clean the others ones out.  It may seem like allot of work but once you get the hang of it, it takes no time at all to get it done.  The money yo save as well makes it worth well.  No more freezer burn food, or things in the bottom and your not to sure what or when they are from?  Well I hope this blog makes up for me missing so many. 

Any questions please let me know

 Till next time.  Have a great day.
