Beyond Empty

Here it was, Sunday afternoon at 4:30 pm, and I had NOTHING in the freezer ready to prepare my family for dinner. We ordered pizza. I was ashamed.

For me, this is inexcusable! I ALWAYS have something in the freezer. And yet, the spring schedule of activities  had gotten the better of even me.

Now, I didn't have literally nothing in there - there was plenty of ice cream (priorities, yo), chicken broth, stew beef, a few frozen steaks, a pound of cooked ground beef, 1 measly 1/2 chicken breast, 2 whole chickens, and some pulled pork that still needed to be sauced and seasoned. And a bunch of Kayem natural casing hot dogs. But there was nothing that I could pull out and either cook or reheat quickly enough in time for dinner. Except the hotdogs, but we had just had them for lunch.

Shame on me.

Today, I vow to never let my freezer go again. I will restock this week. I will prepare healthy food for my family. I will be prepared for this upcoming Babe Buth baseball season and summertime madness. I will not shell out my husband's hard-earned money on pizza or dinner out ever again because I've got nothing ready to go. Today, I'm taking back my freezer!

Who's with me?
