Freezer Diving

Webstaurant Store

This freezer is very similar to ours. Ours has three heavy plastic bins that hang across the top.

Since things tend to go INTO this freezer and never be seen again, today’s project is to clean it out and reorganize it for actual cooking again.

For those of you who don’t know – and can’t imagine anyone having a problem like this – my husband and I have been trying to lose the lard for a bit over a year, starting mid April of 2018. We signed up for Nutrisystem. Except for planned cooking or go-out meals (one each for breakfast, lunch and dinner each week)  I haven’t been cooking. We stopped the Nutrisystem program and  have recently started the Keto eating plan. I like the idea of eating real world meals again, with leftovers, etc., but have to gear up for it.

I’ve finished PHASE I of the project this morning. Can you believe I had stuff in there from 2013? I KNOW!  :0/  I filled TWO doubled leaf bags!

I’m resting now, gearing up for PHASE II, which is trying to make sense of what is in there and reorganizing it so I can find things quickly and stuff hopefully won’t be ‘lost in the ozone’ again.  I’m hoping that I can actually move some stuff that is in our fridge freezer out there, making space for more frozen veggies and fruit INSIDE.

I hope you’re having a wonderful day.

  1. Hi Linda, I am amazed how you pick up the topics that I am struggling all the time! I too have to clean up the Freezer in my kitchen. It is stuffed so much that nothing can be added anymore! Well, I might end up throwing away most of the stuff as my husband wants to cut on carbs and wants to eat vegetable dish made with only 4 things …Eggplant, green cabbage, cauliflower, green peas and some times Zucchini! So all things in the freezer, I may not be able to use in preparing the dish! :-C I think today is the D-day for my stuff in the freezer! yeyyyyyyy Thanks for the post.

    • I’m glad we seem to be fighting the same battles. I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’m now going out to see if I can organize things so I can find them easily. I wish you the best of luck on yours. Just dive in and do what you can. Don’t try to do the whole thing at one time. Take breaks. And remember, if you don’t finish, at least it’s better than it was before you started. Good luck!
