The driest pitas in history (a freezer update)

Hello! I am here with yet another freezer challenge update. Here's what I started with last week.

freezer challenge foods.

Peaches

I made a smoothie.

And another smoothie.

By this time, I had run out of spinach

So, I made it through all of the peaches. Yay me!

Ground meat

I used this to make some taco bowls.

Edamame

I made the veggie-heavy Aldi copycat chickpea salad, and I put in extra edamame to use up the bag entirely.

Bread Cubes

I made another pan of baked French toast, and now all of my frozen bread cubes are used up. SWEET.

Beef Jerky

I did make a dent in this, but it was too much jerky to eat in a single week!

I will keep chipping away at it.

Pita bread

I tried steaming one to make it bendable enough to use as a scrambled egg wrap. But my resuscitation efforts were largely unsuccessful.

Please note the splitting:

So I decided to embrace the dryness and turned the other two pitas into pita chips.

Unfortunately, I did burn some of them, even though I was following a recipe. It's probably because my pitas were so dry to start with!

So, if you try this, watch 'em carefully as they bake!

Here's the end result of this week's efforts.

Next Week's Collection

I think after this one, I'm going to call my freezer good. It's not empty, of course, but most everything in there is relatively up to date and does not need to be used in a hurry.

Also, there's plenty of space now, which means I can restock the freezer with some new bags of frozen fish and chicken.

Ok, so here are my last four items:

freezer challenge items.

I've got some burger buns there because I often freeze a partial package; Zoe and I never eat 6-8 burgers at one time! We will have some burgers this week to use these up.

Second, another bag of peaches (last one!), so I see some smoothies in my future again.

The pack of Hawaiian rolls is from a double pack I got from Sam's. I'll use them to make a pan of the ham and Swiss sandwiches that Zoe likes.

And lastly, those tomatoes appeared in a previous week; they're making a second appearance, and hopefully this time, I will actually use them!

How's your freezer challenge going?

  1. When I was taking out some frozen strawberries for a smoothie I noticed a bag of taco wraps which I'd put in at the start of September, as they had sugar in them. I used them up this weekend 🙂

      1. Thanks! I still ate fruit and I'm sure I ate and drank some things with sugar in, but I tried to avoid anything where I saw sugar as an added ingredient and didn't buy sweets.
