In the past few months my mother has transformed her life. She works out with an amazing trainer and really pays close attention to her food. Not only has she lost more than 50 pounds, but she radiates so much positive energy you can almost feel it! Living home with her and experimenting with different foods is really such a great experience and something we can both connect with. When I told her I was moving home, she was more excited about having dinners prepared after work over anything!
I really never was a big cleaner as many can vouch for. It wasn't that I was dirty, just messy with clothes and such. However, when it comes to bills and papers for school I am so anal and organized. It is actually pretty funny and over time I've noticed how I improved. I never seize to amaze myself at the little anal things I pick up. For instance, the toilet paper always has to be over and not under and I have no idea why I even care! Once I made the move all I want to do is clean! Now my mom is really happy that I am home because not only do I cook for her, but I clean as well! Who am I? haha
Now straight to the point, I started cleaning out the freezer last night and I just could not stop! I was amazed with what I was finding and especially how much of the meat I could not even identify! I tried to take everything out and strategically put it back according to what kind of product it was. First of all I was amazed at how much meat I found and I am really convinced that it could last my family a few months.
So, I started categorizing the meat by chicken, sausage, steak and then I was left with a whole pile of packaged "stuff." I seriously picked up the wrapped packages, turned them over a few times and still could not tell what they were! I have to admit that it really freaked me out. Our meat is already engineered to look different than the animal it comes from, and now I cannot even tell what that animal is!
All I am saying is, clean out your freezer! You will be amazed at what you will find and how much money you might even save on food for a few weeks!
