Leftovers and frozen meals

[fuzzyred]

So, this doesn't count for the Recipe Challenge, but I did cook yesterday so I'm still posting about it. I had some frozen meatballs remaining from when I made chili two weeks ago, so I popped those in the oven for dinner last night. I also had some pasta with alfredo sauce, mushrooms, and onions leftover from the weekend, so I ate that too. For the rest of the week, I think it will be frozen perogies and the rest of the chili that I froze for just such an occasion. I need freezer space in the coming weeks, so I figured now was a great time to go about making some. I may cook up some frozen vegetables too, if I feel I need something green(ish) later in the week.

*nods* it's fridge space that's gonna be a premium for me... I gotta clear space for a spatchcocked bird, sweet tater casserole, and a Pie. I have an idea, tho. Plastic wrap the top of the casserole. Set it in the front corner. Set a brick of cream cheese in the back just off the corner. Set the pie in the gap, and then the dry-brined bird on its roasting pan atop the dish and the brick, leaving the pie untouched.

Culinary civil engineering. it's a THING. :)

That sounds like quite the tetris fridge you have going. My fridge is usually fairly empty, and I won't be cooking the meat, so fridge space shouldn't be too kuch of a problem for me. It's just the six cookie doughs that have to go in the freezer...

Fridge tetris is a thing *most* weeks, this one just doubles down.

It's called teenagers. :)

Teenagers do tend to inhale food. Me, I'm just one tiny person, so if I buy too much food it goes bad. It does have the result of making my fridge look like a "bachelor's" fridge, though I am not of that group.
