Hello there,

I’ve got a chicken coop and run to give a good Summer cleaning too this morning so I thought I would do a quick post regarding my other love, gardening.  My garden is in full swing and with all the rain we have had here in Ohio the entire month of June and now in July my veggie beds are overflowing.  This is just what I picked this morning and it pretty much looks like this every morning.  Between squash, zucchini, cucumbers and peppers my refrigerator can only hold so much.  So I give away a great deal of vegetables to neighbors, Russ’ co-workers and stamp class attendees, lol.  Pretty much everyone we are in contact with.  🙂

I also freeze some veggies. Here is how I freeze my zucchini.

I first wash my zucchini well, of course.  Then I use my Kitchen Aide Mixer and the shredding attachment and shred a bunch and put 2 cup portions in quart freezer bags.  I squeeze all of the air out of the bags that I can before sealing them.  Then I put the small bags into a 2 gallon freezer bag and into the freezer.  Thats it!   I freeze them in 2 cup portions because that is what the majority of my recipes call for.    That way I can pull out one small bag when I want to make zucchini bread or cookies.  The shredded zucchini is also good to slip into pasta dishes or soups.

I’m off to shovel chicken poop. . .. .
