I’ve been blogging in this space — first Organizing Your Way and then Life Your Way — for over three years now, and there are some great posts in the archives that don’t get much attention anymore. This week, I’ll be sharing some of my favorites. Whether you’ve been around since the beginning or are a new reader, I think you’ll enjoy them!
Quick—it’s 5:00 and the family is hungry, but there’s nothing in the fridge. Do you reach for the peanut butter or the Top Ramen?
If you have a well-stocked and organized freezer, you might not have to reach for either! Keeping your freezer filled with easy last-minute meals does not require marathon cooking sessions; all it takes is organization, proper storage, and planning.
Organization
The key to utilizing your freezer for last-minute meals and emergencies is organization. Without organization, it’s easy for items to get buried or shoved to the back and forgotten about until they’re inedible. Not only is this a waste of money, it’s also a waste of space and a source of major disappointment when you realize the pork chops you bought on sale are too freezer burnt to ever actually eat!
