My Freezer Unveiling


I got a new refrigerator on the 1st. Just by chance, it arrived on Day 1 of VeganMoFo. So it's my VeganMoFo Fridge and probably the first appliance I've ever named. Those aren't the best of pictures but let me tell you what is inside. If you can't tell from the less-than-stellar photos, it's a bottom freezer with a large drawer with an inset drawer above it.

Starting with the top pic, in the ice bin which we don't use, I keep proteins:
soy curls
tempeh
chicken seitan cutlets (Bryanna's)
little seitan roasts adapted from Isa's recipe --->
(these are 6-7 oz each)

outside the ice bin, you'll see:
frozen broth for making that seitan
raspberries (muffins! scones!)
spinach (emergency spinach dip)
peas
cranberries (for sauces)
chipotles
Temptation Peach Cobbler Ice Cream (the only kind that I've tried and will ever need to, yum!)

In the larger drawer:
breads (impromptu sandwiches)
walnuts (for potential but unlike cookie testing...nuts ewww)
coconut (the same, but double ewww....you just never know!)
homemade pie crust balls (recipe on my blog)
purchased pie crust (quiche)
corn
homemade pizza sauce
spring rolls (never tried them)
flax seeds
pine nuts (I had them go rancid once, not pretty!)
eb shortening
eb sticks
jar of homemade apple butter (recipe on my blog)
puff pastry and puff pastry shells
fillo dough and....
pizza dough (I'm never caught without it in my freezer)

I think that about covers it. In December, I'll start stashing some cookie doughs, too.

Thanks for tagging me, Lindsay! Here's who I'm tagging:
Cooking the Vegan Books
The Potato Vine
Seitanismymotor
The Happy Vegan
Heathen Vegan
And just in case one of these people was already tagged and I missed it,
YOU!

Here's how it works:
Take a picture of the items in your freezer.
Post the picture to your blog and give a summary of the items.
Tag 5 vegan bloggers.

And I'll leave you with a finished dish, this pasta tester for Robin Robertson. It went together quickly, had great flavor and was really satisfying!

i love how everyone's freezers are so pretty and organized... i'm afraid to show mine because everything is just stuffed wherever it'll fit!

So much!

I'm curious about the Robin Robertson pasta - I own 'Pasta for All Seasons' already and dig it....

Jeni Treehugger said...

Quick!
Tag alaina!

Jeni, I knew someone would be tagged already! Shoot... hey, Alaina? Post it if you dare!

Jess, I can't say a whole lot about the pasta because it's made with so few ingredients that they all seem key! But it's great and so easy. I didn't even know about Pasta for All Seasons! I'll have to check it out.

All you people and your bottom loading freezers! Le sigh.

This is such a funny meme! I love to see what other people have inside their freezers.Unfortunately I've already been tagged.

Temptation peach cobbler is THE BEST. It's so much more interesting than boring old cookie dough. That's so 1992 to me.
