Freezing
your bounty
It happens to us all... buying too many fresh vegetables at one time and then watching helplessly as they rot in the fridge. Or after being blessed with a healthy fall harvest, being overwhelmed with nature's bounty. Instead of standing on the sidelines as the fruits of your labour decay, try making a veggie soup with your leftover veggies. Any veggie will do, even lettuce and cucumber. Honest! Alternatively, try making a veggie casserole and freezing quick-meal-sized portions. Another tactic, is to chop up the veggies and freeze them. I like to mix and match my veggies, creating bags of mixed-veggies that can later be used in stir-frys, soups, stews, and casseroles.
