What foods are always in your freezer?

[Amidoingitcorrectly]

Trying to get more organised so thought it might be useful to share ideas.

We always have veggie burgers and a sliced loaf of our favourite bread, several flavours of ice cream, and some frozen fruit for chucking on breakfast or for smoothies. There's usually a portion or two of something like a lasagne for lunch, that was leftover from a dinner. When we go away I try to always freeze milk so we can always have a cup of tea no matter how late it is when we get home.

What handy items do you always have in that help you throw a meal together? I tried frozen chopped onions which seemed like a really useful timesaver, but they tasted kind of weird to me - maybe I should try them again?

Chopped onions, frozen peas, aldi veggie sausage rolls.

Those microwave jacket potatoes. The easiest meal when I CBA. And peas

Always chopped frozen peppers. Excellent for a shakshouka.
Always some frozen mash, for a last minute tea. The nice stuff that’s just potatoes, butter and milk. Not smash style!
Frozen chopped coriander and ginger.

Chicken Kyivs too, and some nice fish pie.

Oven chips,couple of ready meals, sausages ,frozen veg, . And what ever has been yellow stickered in the Co Op.

A bag of sausage rolls

Chopped onions and peppers. Some kind of frozen green veg - peas or beans are the most versatile. I make batches of tomato sauce and freeze them individually. Quite often have frozen wine ice cubes in there too for adding to sauces. I also to have some cake or brownies in there too just in case of emergencies.

Herbs eg Chopped garlic, ginger, corriander, parsley. Sliced leek, chopped onion, peas, chicken thigh, chicken breast, various portions of bolognese / chilli / curry.

It makes for much less food waste as I don’t need to have onions, carrots & celery in stock. And it’s easy.

Also chopped frozen garlic.

Peas and sweetcorn - good to add to dishes as well as a side portion of veg.
Spinach - chuck a couple of bales into curry etc
Leftover/batch-cooked cheese sauce and tomato pasta sauce - great timesaver when you're making lasagne etc

Oh and mini sausage rolls

Chips, peas, berries, garlic bread, milk, sliced bread, ice cream, ice cubes, frozen pizzas, mash.

Fish fingers and chips, several loaves of bread, a couple of pizzas. Then a stash of frozen meat, I buy 10kg meat boxes from a local farmer so always got mince, stew, a joint of beef etc. Always peas and sweetcorn, sometimes carrots and broccoli.

Do you buy it chopped or just do a load of chopping to freeze? I’m gonna try this as celery often gets half used.

Mine has lots of the above mentioned items, especially lots of bread products, rolls, crumpets, bagels etc.

I keep ginger in freezer, just grate whatever I need as and when, & keeps for ages.

Always have whole leaf frozen spinach for curries and omlettes.

Frozen raw prawns - they always Defrost quickly for a last minute stir fry.

Peas, sweetcorn, butternut squash, onions, mixed berries, peppers, sausages, fish fingers, hash browns, bakes potatos, pizzas, pies, various batch cooked things like spag bol, chilli, chicken stew, but that varies as to where we are in the month as I do a batch cook once a month.

Frozen spinach, peas, fish fingers, ice cubes (our freezer makes them), parsley (chopped and in a tub), edamame beans in the pods, usually some magnums, and some mince and chicken pieces.
