I found a treasure in my freezer

My freezer is absurdly overstuffed for an apartment with just 1 person living in it. I buy things, then they don't appeal so I freeze them and buy other things, repeat, repeat, repeat. I was just shuffling some stuff around and I found a treasure!
I found a bag of Christmas ravioli! Christmas ravioli are homemade spinach/ricotta/meat ravioli that my family makes each December for our Christmas dinner. The recipe came from at least my great-grandparents who came to America from Parma, Italy. I don't know how much further back it goes than that. It is a beloved family tradition.
Anyway we make hundreds of them one day in December. Most of them are for Christmas dinner but the ones who actually participate in making them (some people just show up for the snacks, drinks, and dinner) get a bag of 50 to take home for another time. I just found my bag. I think I made some of them already as it doesn't look like it contains 50 but there are definitely enough for a few meals.
I took out a container of homemade marinara sauce so it could start thawing. I know what I'm having for dinner!

I have a small separate freezer in my garage, and it's usually full. I am trying to use things out of there, so that I can refill it up with Christmas goodies like I usually do. I found 2 ribeye steaks last week, and I didn't buy them. I think one of my sons stuck them in there for me. Yum. I love good food surprises. Enjoy, it sounds delicious.

Such great flavor. But these are so big I have to cut them in half.

Your freezer sounds like mine and so do your uses. But I´m doing my best to declutter it a bit.

Yum! Our chest freezer is packed to the brim (because of my food-hoarding husband); and I don't have any idea what's in it.
