[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 447682, member: 1233"] Freezing is wonderful if you have the room. I would blanch the veggies (dunk them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes then put them straight into ice water to stop the cooking) if they are the type that need it. It can be a pain, but it is well worth the effort. After blanching you need to get them to be pretty much dried off. Then freeze them in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Once they are frozen (6-24 hrs depending), put them into a freezer bag or container. consider getting a vacuum sealer - check garage sales. For some things they make a huge difference in freezing. One super helpful tip for freezing is to take the plastic bag that cereal come in, the one inside the box, and wipe it clean. Then store it until you are going to freeze and use that to line the cookie sheet. It is strong and nothing will stick to it as long as the food is pretty dry. I don't know why, but it works a LOT better than regular plastic wrap. [/QUOTE]
