Things In The Freezer That Must Be Gotten Rid Of

I need some more freezer space. It is time to clear out some stuff.


I have some almond flour in the freezer, and some candied ginger in the pantry. That means it's time for more biscotti!


So delicious. But not everything in the freezer leads to something lovely:

Chili. It tastes good, but not so pretty in its partly-frozen state. But two containers of chili and half of the cornbread muffins are gone, as well as three bags of leftover pancakes, which frees up space for cookie dough and babka.

Babka is the basis for cinnamon rolls, another thing I wouldn't mind eating every day but that I only make for Christmas morning. Babka is a silky, buttery sweet bread dough. I use the recipe from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I imagine I'll make the dough and assemble the cinnamon rolls today, freeze them overnight, then thaw them in the fridge overnight Christmas eve so they can be baked Christmas morning without over-rising. Then we won't eat them all, so we will need freezer space for the leftovers, unless the Old Folks in the South grub for them.
