Brrrrr, there's a wee bit of a chill in the air! But that won't stop our farmers from bringing their farm fresh goodies to the market. Besides, they know that there is only 3 more weeks of the market left for the 2009 season and they are sure folks will want to stock up on some stuff for the winter months. There's nothing like cooking with a fresh from your freezer tomato when there is snow on the ground! And, don't forget the wonderful peppers...they freeze great too! Potatoes will hold for quite some time if you keep them in a cool place. And, we all know that beef can be frozen. Did you know that you can wrap and freeze the wonderful breads too? I guess you can tell what I have been doing all summer. lol
Our freezer is full of tomatoes, corn, beans, peppers and even some zucchini bread! We're ready for the winter, how about you?
