Too Many Green Peppers

First of all, when deciding what to do with too many green peppers, I guess we need to define how many green peppers are too many! Here, I’m talking about a few, like the windfall of about a dozen green bell peppers (plus a few more the following week) we got in our veggie box.

Blanching & Freezing Beans

Blanching & Freezing Beans

One of the best vegetables to freeze, as far as quality when it comes out of the freezer, is beans and I love Blanching & Freezing Beans. It doesn’t matter what kind: green beans, snap beans, or wax beans. It’s also super simple to grow beans, but that’s a whole ‘nuther thing, so no worries if you don’t grow your own. You can easily use beans from the farmer’s market or the grocery store or wherever you normally get your fresh green (or other) beans from.
