Small Batch Freezing

 We're still harvesting some green beans, broccoli, and sugar peas ... so every other day I'm blanching small batches of veggies, cooling and drying them off, and freezing single layer on trays .. then storing in freezer bags for use this coming winter.  It's amazing how fast the stockpile is growing from small batch freezing.

Well, you are prepared for a very long winter, so it seems. My freezer is also bursting with beans, rhubarb and blackberries. There isn't much room for anything else at the moment.
Your bread looks delicious.
