This is the time of year when defrost my freezer, take inventory and see what’s lurking inside. I make a fresh copy of the free download above and inventory my chest freezer in my laundry room as well as my kitchen freezer. It really helps me use what I have and see what I need to add.
I’m in love with crock pot freezer meals this time of year and I will post my favorites this week. Be sure to check out the recipe index for ideas until then.
Here’s how I defrost my chest freezer. 
Sometimes it looks like this nice and full and somewhat organized.
Over break I stocked my freezer with meatballs and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. And my goal this week is to make my bulk marinara sauce.
Now that my freezer is cleaned and organized I want to use up a few crock pot meals and add some other yummy goodies this month.
Do you defrost your freezer and keep an inventory in the New Year?
