Good job. Sadly, it isn’t going away anytime soon.
We still have a 2 lb bag of carrots, 2 lbs of yellow squash, 3-4 green tomatoes, enough potatoes for a couple meals and 12 lbs of yellow onions (forgot I had onions and bought more the last shopping trip on the 13th). Many onions will end up in the freezer. Planning meals around lifespan of what’s fresh so basically one more week.
To whomever it was who’s sister was sick of canned goods, I opened the first canned good last night - peas to add half the can to a chicken and rice casserole. Rice was leftover from Chinese the night before and used up the last of a previous bag of carrots and an onion. Froze the liquid off the peas to add to pea soup someday. The other half of the peas will be a little pea and cheese salad in a couple days.
Also, boiled the 2 chicken thigh bones for broth for the freezer. The dog was ecstatic over the chicken skin. Added the onion skins to the freezer baggie. The carrot peels were old so threw them onto the small backdoor flower bed. Thinking garlic, onions, cucumbers and greens. I refuse to buy cucumbers and greens at the store these days.
I’ve been cooking all the fresh veggies & fruits I can find (omelettes, pancakes, soups, etc.) then freezing any leftovers.
I should have written the contents on the containers. What’s for dinner? Chef’s surprise!
