Freezer Cooking- April 22- Part 2

We did it!!! We got all of our meals in the freezer and finished around 9:00 pm. Below is a picture of the dining room table with Ham and Hash brown Casseroles, Pizza Roll Ups, Northwoods Wild Rice Soup, and in the back left corner is the dehydrator full of beef jerky.

In the picture above, we had to set tables up in the living room to hold more soup and more pizza roll ups. We had coolers full of meat and Debbie's coolers in the garage. It was a lot of work, but when you see the next picture you will understand why it was all worth it!

A very full freezer, it's a beautiful thing, folks! The very top shelf holds homemade breads, biscuits, English muffins, coffeecake muffins, blueberry muffins, scones, English muffin sandwiches, ham and cheddar biscuits and cinnamon rolls. The next 3 shelves hold our freezer cooking day's efforts. The 5th shelf holds what's left of last year's garden- 3 bags of shredded zucchini, 4 bags of green beans, 3 bags of blueberries for muffins, 1 bag of blueberries for pie and 4 hash brown casseroles. The very bottom shelf/bin holds all our remaining meat. The top 2 freezer door shelves hold the remaining jars of strawberry jam, sweet corn and squash puree. The 3rd door shelf holds my Amish butter. The 4th door shelf holds various boxes of frozen treats. The 5th door shelf holds my surplus of milled wheat and other baking flours.

We'll start to use up some of this bounty in time for berry season. Then when it starts to get low, I'll have room to put up my garden produce. Believe it or not my kitchen freezer is practically empty. Maybe we'll have to fill it with cookies, short cakes, pound cakes and coffeecakes!
