What’s ALWAYS in my Freezer
Frozen Pizza
It’s always there in a pinch and I can make it a full meal by eating it with a salad. I almost always have cherry tomatoes, spring mix, red onion, parm, and ingredients to make balsamic dressing which makes the perfect side salad to a pizza. To elevate my pizza a bit, I usually add some sort of chili - (hot honey, red pepper flakes, truffle hot sauce) and honey — just makes my pizza a bit yummier.
Frozen Dumplings (from Trader Joes)
Makes for an easy dinner or late night snack.
Crushed Ginger
I don’t use ginger a whole lot but I like having on hand when I need it. Frozen crushed ginger is found at most grocery stores in the freezer isle.
Minced Garlic
I usually buy my garlic wholesale and throw it in the food processor and store it in ziplock bags so I have access to minced garlic whenever needed.
Protein
I try to have hot Italian sausage, chicken breast and (uncooked) shrimp in my freezer. Shrimp defrosts really quickly for when you need to cook something in a pinch.
Vegetables
I generally have a bag of corn in the freezer. During the winter months, I will keep peas and other heartier veg for dishes like Shepard’s pie.
Frozen Fruit
For my morning smoothies, I keep mango and pineapple in my freezer.
