So over the past weeks I have managed to use up a box of crackers (will need to buy or make some this week), some cans of soup in casseroles, and a great many frozen meals from the fridge freezer. I am pretty happy with the way things are going. Keeping stocked but using up the older items first.

Today I pulled a carton of frozen turkey stock out and have made soup. Oh, my it smells delicious. Must remember to do this more often as I have quite a number of containers filled with stock.

Over the past week I have managed to use up a box of slightly going stale crackers by making them into cracker crumbs and mixing them with the salmon to make patties.

I found a box of Rice a Roni which needed using (why I bought that I don't know) and used it as the basis of our Sunday supper.

Most of the cabbage that has been languishing in the fridge was used to make lazy cabbage rolls last night. I also used up the container of frozen tomato sauce in it.

Last night a bag of frozen turkey was used up in our supper meal. I also used up a pouch of gravy mix from the kitchen pantry.

Lunch I used up some crackers that were the last in the box and the lazy cabbage roll mixture from the fridge.

Used up the salad from the fridge as well as the saved chili. The pizza is slowly being eaten for our lunches.

Today I plan on using up the last bag of frozen cooked roast beef and some of the biscuit mix to make our supper. I will also use up the last of the lettuce, and other salad fixings to make a tossed salad. Hopefully use up some more brussels sprouts as well.

Getting the fridge cleared out for a bit of a wipe down, and shopping this week.

I used up the last of the roast beef from the freezer yesterday, and a package of the frozen tomatoes. Today I am using up some turkey stock, the remainder of an open bag of rice, and some odds and ends of frozen turkey in the fridge freezer.
