Food Plan and Grocery List, 031311

It's spring, sort of. In the mood, I cleaned out my freezer and realize I need to be better about labeling things. There were unidentifiable chicken parts in there without dates that I figured were probably really old. Better safe than thaw some freezer-burned chicken when I'm ready to cook later.

Some unidentified bowls of soup I'd made a while ago were also removed. I'll be honest: I'm not going to eat it, whatever it was.

Now I know I have in the freezer:

• a pound of ground beef
• two whole chickens
• a pound of bacon
• a single Mahi-Mahi filet
• two pounds of shrimp
• one bag of Korean Marinated Flank Steak

The line-up:

• Korean tacos
• Chipotle Shrimp Fajitas
• Smoky Beef and Black Bean Chili
• Snickerdoodle Bread

........................................................................................................

So I shopped my ass off hunting for the cinnamon chips called for in the Snickerdoodle Bread recipe. That's going to have to be postponed as I continue the hunt at a later date.
