How funny, I've been doing this for the past few days (pretty much) without realizing it had a name!
Yesterday I found a meatloaf in the freezer that was FANTASTIC when we heated it up. Today I made chicken tortilla soup entirely out of stuff I already had in my pantry and fridge. I'm defrosting some frozen ground turkey that I'll use to make meatballs tomorrow, and then Sunday I'll defrost some chicken breasts and frozen veggies to use in a faux chicken pot pie. I think I might have some frozen shrimp that I'll use in a gumbo, along with frozen veggies.
My husband is the one who encouraged me to do this; he is frustrated that I am a "stocker" (I tend to buy things to keep in the pantry when I don't necessarily need them).
