I am thinking of using some of the veg to make a stock for later use.
Went to the food bank today and they are so generous and wonderful. It’s almost too much produce just for me!

I went for the first time in September and that day it also felt like a race to get all the fresh produce either cooked, prepped and frozen, or otherwise preserved. That has kept me fed all this time which is a blessing. Not to mention the free flu shot! I spoke to them about volunteering and they don’t need anyone right now but likely will after the holiday season. I’ll definitely be there.

Next up is prepping strawberries for the freezer. I freeze them on a cookie sheet then bag them. With the berries, milk, and yogurt I can make smoothies.
