My squirrel storing mode

During summer I took any fresh veggies I could find to store them up for winter.

My grandpa, and some friends gave me lots of tomatoes, I also grew some but not many. I was also given okra, zucchini, onions, green peppers.

My most favorite thing to put up for the winter is a mixture of tomatoes, onions, green peppers and okra. I peal and dice the tomatoes, dice the onions and peppers, slice up the okra and stew it all in a huge pot for a while, then I cool it down and freeze it in full quart bags.

I love this mixture so much, there is several things i do with this. I use this in veggie soups and stews. I also make a wonderful chicken & cabbage soup that includes a bag of this mixture. I will add cooked, crumbled Blue & Gold sausage and some gluten free macaroni for a meal.

I have added a small amount, not the whole quart bag, into my meatloaf. Sometimes we will just eat it alone as a side veggie. I'm sure I will add more meals later using this as well...

I also grated up zucchini and froze in bags, I will add that to just about any meal using hamburger, it makes a great filler to help the hamburger go farther. Also sneaks in the extra veggies in my teenage daughters diets.
