Freezer Cleanout Week

On Sunday, I excitedly bought almond meal/flour to make macarons, my dad's favorite French cookie, knowing that I could make the sandwich part of the cookie week ahead of time and freeze them.  Then a few days before my parents arrive for Christmas, I could thaw the cookies and fill them.

Then I got home from the grocery store and inspected my freezer.  It was full.  Like, packed. (I'm sad I didn't take a "before" picture).  I decided I need to spend the week eating through all the food to make room to freeze baked goods.  It sounded like a perfectly reasonable plan.  Until I started doing it.

By popular demand, here is a sample of the meals thus far:
Pasta with marinara
Chili
Black bean, corn & barely soup with a side of broccoli
Chicken breast with mixed veggies
Bratwurst and broccoli
Suprise! Shepard's pie (I forgot it was back there)
Beef soup surprise (I really don't remember making this, but there it was, in a container in the back of
the freezer).

Beef Soup Surprise!

Still left to go:
2 chicken breasts
1.5 bags of mixed veggies (one mixed, one stir fry)
4 booze pouches
2 tubs cat food (those stay)
Many, many otter pops
1 breaded chicken breast
Coffee (which I don't drink and I can't honestly remember buying)
4 Pint glasses
2 emergency ice packs
