Happy Tuesday! Or… maybe not. It is the dreaded Tuesday, after all. I am trying to stay positive, though, and there are a couple of ways that I am doing that.
1. Reminding myself that in exactly two weeks I will be heading home for the Christmas holiday. Seriously, how is it December 9th already?
2. Talking about food! <– That always makes me happy.
About a month or so ago, I shared a post about what I keep inside of my refrigerator. I have a fascination with what others eat and buy at the grocery store, and it turns out that y’all do too! Since many of you seemed to love peeking into my fridge, I figured it was only right that I give the freezer some attention. Let’s take a peek inside of my thrilling freezer!
A Peek Inside of My Mostly Plant-Based Freezer
First up: some of the grains! I almost always have tortillas in my freezer for things like tortilla pizzas, burritos, and wraps. Right now I also have some leftover hot dog buns and hamburger buns.
I think half of my freezer is taken up by bread products. Here we have two partial loaves of sprouted bread, a full loaf of Ezekiel bread, a full loaf of Whole Foods 365 bread (it was free with a coupon!), everything bagels, and a mini loaf of Rotella’s Italian Christmas bread that I was given at The Christmas Carol production. What can I say, I like my carbs!
My freezer always contains plenty of smoothie essentials. Here we have tons of frozen berries and frozen zucchini. I normally always have a large plastic bag of frozen bananas, as well, but this picture was taken right before I cut my bunch of bananas up.
It’s not a freezer without a good stockpile of leftovers! Three of these are split pea soup, one is leftover stuffing from Friendsgiving, the two small containers on the left are leftover beans, the small middle container is leftover pasta sauce, and I have one Runza left from our Three Cooks One Kitchen Runza-making party. These leftovers are my go-tos on lazy week nights.
Now we are getting to some of the randoms… broccoli pancakes (amazing!) and vegan Daiya cheese slices.
I also have a spinach and artichoke dip that I got for free by joining Sam’s Club. One of these days I will have guests that I can pawn this off on (it has gelatin in it). And Field Roast vegan burgers <– so good!
It wouldn’t be the Clean Eating Veggie Girl’s freezer without tons of veggies. We’ve got peppers, peas, spinach, brussel sprouts, mixed veggies, broccoli, and corn. I think I have the green vegetables covered.
Somehow I managed to stuff all of this into a standard-sized freezer. Lord knows that it normally looks like a mess, though. I definitely took this post as an opportunity to clean ‘er out. I imagine it will stay organized for a maximum of about one week.
What are your freezer staples?
