This is my freezer towards the end of the month. Most of February's pre-prepped meals had become yummy family dinners by the time I took this photo. This freezer is pretty small, so I've employed some fun organization strategies from Pinterest to keep things orderly. The magazine racks are wonderful for storing smoothies, soups and sauces upright in freezer bags. I've added the purchase of a couple of lidded casserole dishes to our monthly budget, also. The Anchor Truefit is my personal pick for most versatile and sturdy.
The tight-fitting lid makes them fairly freezer burn proof and also seals in any smells that wouldn't be fun spreading throughout the fridge as leftovers. I'd been using disposable aluminum pans, but have found that at the rate I replace them, it just makes more sense to invest in a more permanent solution. Aluminum pans are great to start out with, though, because if the OAMC system doesn't fit your lifestyle as you thought it might, you wouldn't have wasted money with a major purchase of freezer-friendly casserole dishes!
On Pinterest, I came across this pin of a truly well-ordered freezer FULL of meals:
What's Cookin, Chicago is Joelen's blog. Her post on freezer organization is very thorough and full of great information. She has a unique perspective on freezer meal inspiration and goes beyond the typical casserole and soup recipes. Her blog is absolutely worth a look-see! It's a new favorite of mine!
Happy reading, planning, and dining!
