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?

Bread, milk and bottle upon bottle of blended food for my toddler.

Stuff I've put in there/want to put in there; petits pois, broad beans, edamame, peppers, cauliflower, green beans, sweetcorn, chicken portions, steak, pork, lamb, mince, venison, chips, GF hashbrowns, raw King prawns, GF chicken goujons, GF scampi, fish, mochi, pineapple, berries, ice, ginger, vodka.

Stuff that is actually filling it up because DP gets there first: plastic packaging, boxes or bags with one broken waffle or half a tablespoon of manky chips, more plastic, microwave meals he'll never eat complete with all their plastic, cardboard covers and boxes - and mystery tupperware containers of stuff he won't ever eat or throw away.

A bag of frozen gyoza from costco. Teamed with some broth and some veg it makes a super quick and delicious meal!

Sweetcorn kernels, peas, edamame, various berries, chopped fruit (mango, pineapple, peaches, persimmons, pomegranate seeds, kiwi fruit, passionfruit), peeled bananas, raw jumbo prawns, fish fingers, chips, pierogies, bagels, pita, carrot cake, fruitcake, ice cream, lollies, loads of ice cubes, veggie soup stock made from scratch from parings and saved in an ice cube tray, batch-cooked “leftovers” (lasagne, chili, lentil curry, quiche, pies both savoury and sweet), pie crusts, ginger, garlic, vodka.

I used to freeze leftover wine in ice cube trays, if no one would drink it before it went "off", and then use the cubes for cooking. These days, there's never any leftover wine! 🍷
