I saw this on The Kitchn today and thought of you ladies, it's a 4 part weekly series (halfway through) to help clean out and get on track with using your freezer for meals! Mine looks pretty much like the before picture, I might tackle this project this weekend.
Thanks for this! Our freezers need some good cleaning. My plan is to start this tomorrow while DH is at work.
I have a stupid question and you are all free to laugh at me for this , but when you cook a frozen meal (such as beef stew or chili for example), do you just take it out of the freezer and drop it in a pot on the stove or do you thaw it?

I just signed up for Once A month Meals. It picks the recipes and does the math for you and spits out a shopping list and step by step instructions for cooking all the meals. I like it easy. And it does gluten/dairy free meals. Thats the kicker, because I am literally too lazy to google GF freezer or slow cooker meals. And I have to be super careful about cross-contamination, so friends and family bringing meals is not an option.
We are also going to buy a small freezer. We have an apartment fridge and it's so small.

Thaw it first. Otherwise it will take forever to cook. Normally, I take things out of the freezer the night before and thaw in the fridge.
