to ask what you keep in your freezer?

Watched a Gordon Ramsey programme where he said he kept sliced frozen bagels in his freezer, so he's always got a quick brunch.

This had never occurred to me so I wondered what other freezer tricks I am missing out on.

To kick things off these are normally to be found lurking in my freezer:

Frozen veg (fast food for the dc when I can't be bothered to cook)

Fishfingers (See above)

Pizza base - Made in batch. And frozen for a quick pizza when I can't be bothered to cook (I see a theme emerging ...)

Banana bread, flapjacks etc - made in batch for after school snack.

Ice - For alcohol.

Frozen onions - For when I can be bothered to cook but not cry.

What do you keep in yours?

Jeans? Confused

Frozen veg, ice lollies, chips, ready meals for DH to take to work. That's about it.

Did you have a few of those martinis before you put the washing away Bunny? Grin

The end of the loaf for instant breadcrumbs.
At this time of year we have a 'bubble and squeak' bag where I put in left over mash and veg and keep topping it up so can cook it up when there's enough.
Leftover gravy.
Vodka Grin
Leftover wine (now stay your sharp intake of breath-this doesn't happen unless someone has bought one we don't like, or have got cooking wine left over)
Cheese. I have some leftover Stilton in ours at the moment, waiting to be made into soup.

Too much.

Lots of black bananas - great chopped up in a blender with milk to make a lovely milkshake with a "melting icecream" consistency.

VerySmallSqueak · 10/10/2012 18:03

I haven't got a freezer.

I miss frozen peas and ice cream the most.

And this is in AIBU because...?

bluecarrot · 10/10/2012 18:08

-I half bagels too - and muffins (the bread kind, not bun kind)
-herbs, ginger, chilli, garlic (from freezer dept for supermarket)
-all our bread goes straight in freezer as we only use it for toast. currently full of reduced price gluten free bread and pancakes all reduced to 10p
-milk
-I grate cheese and freeze it on an open try for an hour then store in a ziplock bag
-berries - though usually cheaper to buy them pre-frozen in supermarket than to buy them fresh and freeze them (we grow some but not enough to last a year!)
-frozen veg inc sliced peppers and onions as well as mixed variety.
-milk in tubs that hold enough to last an average day.
-cake, cookie dough mix..
-oh, I cut fresh shop bought pizzas in quarters before freezing for better portion control (only dd eats them as I avoid gluten)
-chocolate

also full of pre-made meals in DD sized portions. Have about 8 lasagnas, 4 cottage pies, 4 shepherds pies etc as well as h/m fish fingers and chicken goujons.

nokidshere · 10/10/2012 18:09

well at least this thread prompted me to put the chest freezer up for sale since it doesn't serve any real purpose Grin

EnglishGirlApproximately · 10/10/2012 18:10

Bits of bread for breadcrumbs, fruit loaf, crumpets,.

Rum & Raisin Ice cream. Pots of pureed veg.

JammySplodger · 10/10/2012 18:10

My social life. I'm hoping to bring it out of cryogenic deep freeze in about ten years time.

That and lots of sausages from friends who rear their own pigs, and the yummy soft cheese that was on offer the other day.
