Fridge and Freezer Clean Out

It's been a lazy week around here.

It is cold and rainy and a day

that makes you just want to lay around in

your pajamas!

I figured that since it was too rainy

to get out and run around,

and also the fact that I needed to

"take a vacation" in my

Laundry Room,

I would also continue my project in the kitchen.

Time to clean out the

refrigerator and freezer.

Well it stared out looking like this.

Crammed packed with a bunch of stuff!

Top shelves....just waiting to explode

and the bottom...

not much better.

Random things stuffed in the door

So out it all came....

and into a laundry basket as well.

WOW that was a lot of stuff packed into the freezer...

Cleaned and wiped down,

I started to load it all back in.

and as I loaded I re-wrapped things to keep

them from getting freezer burn.

Threw out A LOT of things that had been in there

waaay too long.

Ahhh....that's better

Veggies and breads on top shelves...

Meats separated out by type on the

bottom shelves.

I cleaned out the shelves and put Popsicles

on a shelf and nuts for baking

and then there were two empty shelves on the bottom

and one on the top!

I also started cleaning out the refrigerator side

and used some of the baskets that I bought

when I bought the pantry baskets

I used one for fresh fruits

and the other for fresh produce

Salad anyone??

So, the kitchen it slowly but surely

becoming more organized.

I still have a few more things to do.

I want to go and get a few more baskets for the

refrigerator and freezer.

I think I am going to make a "lunch basket"

and keep all of the things I need for making

lunches and also a smaller one to

hold the smaller bags of vegetables in the freezer.

One day at a time,

one project at a time...

and one big garbage can full of stuff.

Glad tomorrow is Friday.

Hellloooo garbage pick up!
