What a great feeling…a freezer full of choices!  Last time I posted on the blog I was out of choices and suffering the consequences.  Since then I have done something about it!  Now…if I had waited till I had it all figured out, I’d still be looking at an empty freezer.  Instead…I took action without a plan, but with Homemade Gourmet that is not a problem. 

First action step was the grocery store.  With my busy schedule, I had not been able to sit down and figure out which meals I wanted to put into my freezer…but the freezer was in a state of emergency and I needed to take action immediately.  I took a quick inventory of my pantry using my handy Homemade Gourmet grocery list copied from a past cookbook.  I noted on the list that I needed to restock a few basic items and canned goods and then I threw that list in my purse so I would be ready for the first time I could squeeze in a grocery trip. 

On Saturday that opportunity arose and I seized the moment.  After shopping from the list I went to the meat section.  Without a clue of what meals I was going to stock my freezer with, I just filled my cart with what was on sale and what I know my family likes…a roast, some stew meat, 10 pounds of ground beef, chicken breasts, a couple of pork tenderloins and some pork chops.  I put it all in the fridge that day so it would be ready for a quick 4m4m session on Sunday. 

Sunday evening, I pulled out all of the 4m4m planners that I have collected over the last year and started making choices.  Going through the planners, I pulled HG mixes and canned goods from my pantry and matched them with the meat of choice…and the result was over a dozen meals bagged in the freezer.  What a difference choices make!  It truly feels good to be full of them again! 

What’s in your freezer?

God Bless,

Tami
