Turkey Cheeseburger from the freezer (recipe below)

Nearly every meal I prepare consists of foods I have cooked or baked in bulk and frozen. I thaw items in a plastic shoe box to prevent condensation dripping onto my shelves (I’ve learned from experience). Then I shop my freezer from my freezer inventory,  to see what goodies I can thaw and serve to my family and others. I write these items down on a seven-day menu plan and post it on my refrigerator as a reminder to thaw my food 24 hours ahead of time. Typically right after the dishes are done, I check my menu plan and put new items into my thawing box and slash them off my freezer inventory. Here’s what I’m thawing this week…

We rotate the same breakfast items each week:

• Freezer waffles with fresh/frozen seasonal fruit
• Homemade Crock pot yogurt with homemade granola
• Oatmeal with cranberries, walnuts and raw sugar
• Cheerios with bananas and milk
• Scrambled eggs and quick bread like banana or zucchini

• Southwest Chili, chips and cheese like nachos grande (freezer chili)
• 5-minute tacos, pintos and cheese (all from the freezer)
• No boil Three cheese manicotti (frozen, same meal as our monthly mission meal), spinach salad, shoe box Artisan bread
• Grilled South West Pork Tenderloin, oven baked potatoes, green beans (batch cooking 15# potatoes for baked, hashbrowns, twice baked potatoes, potato skins and potato soup)
• Breakfast for dinner (hashbrowns, fried eggs, free Earthfare turkey bacon)
• Potato Soup, grilled cheese sandwiches (double batch for freezer)
• Grilled Turkey Cheese burgers, grilled potato wedges, carrots
