to ask what you keep in your freezer?

[CakePops]

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?

That is a freezer to be proud of Raspberry.

How long does it take to defrost a pack of butter?

We make up ham,cheese,chicken sandwiches on a sunday wrap them individualy and put them in the freezer this way when we are short of time or just can't be bothred in the mornings we can grab a sandwich and it's defrosted by lunch time in work.

Our mint patch grows wild and free in the summer, so I buy a large bottle of balsamic vinegar, pick a load of fresh mint leaves and put the two ingredients together in my food processor. I have a few ice cube trays with push up bottoms which I fill with the mixture. Into the freezer to freeze and then pushed out into plastic bags. Add 2 or 3 cubes to gravies or stews for a really great taste.

My little back garden produces - strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, few gooseberries, apples and plums, few herbs. Picked in their prime and added to the freezer

Also freeze wholemeal bread and peel off two slices when needed. I put them straight into the toaster or under the grill with no problems.
Open freeze bacon slices then bag, same with sausages for portion control.

I freeze the fresh supermarket spinach leaves, still in the bag, then crush them down once frozen
I have a double chest freezer with large carrier bags to separate the meat, bread, vegs, fish, fruits.
