My freezer is sooooo full I decided to take out the large container of split peas soup. This will be lunch.
I really have to make more room in the freezer, so I can cook up some new dishes and have room for the leftovers.
My casserole dish of lasagna is full to the top, so instead of my usual 4 servings, I have at least 6. 2 down and 4 to go. I'll probably take 3 servings and put into zip bags separately so I can stash them in various nooks and crannies. The container of split pea soup will make some room.
I have a 5' tall refrigerator, not huge, but fine for me.
I found a couple of shelves at WalMart that fit on either side of the freezer and make it possible to fit things in the top half of the freezer rather than just stacking things to the top and then trying to get out something in the middle.
I'll probably go back and get one more shelf for the middle, if I can fit it crossways so I have access to all.
At least when it gets full like this I can take a vacation from cooking while I get more room in the freezer. I kind of have to push myself to do it because I enjoy cooking, but unless I do, I'll have to buy a small freezer just to catch the overflow!
I was wondering how others manage their perishable food storage, especially those cooking for one or two.
