Our freezers are full and we need to start using the food again. Rick and I took my What's in the Freezer? list down to the basement and had a good look around. We have said that we're going to start eating from the freezer until Thanksgiving (other than milk and eggs and cat supplies, of course). There are some pork roasts and chops, whole chickens, chicken pieces, some beef for roasting, beef for stews and such, plenty of ground beef and ground turkey, sausages and brats, shrimp, and containers of pasta sauce, chili, and soups. The veggies from the garden, peach pies, all kinds of good stuff. It all needs to be used. We figure that by Thanksgiving, we'll have made a dent in the meat....not too worried about this year's vegetables, but we still have a couple containers of green beans from late 2014; they're still OK because they were vacuum-sealed, but they need to get used up.
I had baked a ham back in July and froze the remnants. Well, it's October, so it's coming out. Rick is never adverse to split pea soup or ham and bean soup (and it's been a while since we had ham and bean soup) or maybe some ham and green beans with potatoes. That's on my list this weekend. My goal is to empty out the upright freezer by Thanksgiving.
If you had to, how long could you eat from your freezer?
