I shredded the zucchini before freezing, yes, and should mention it's a good idea to squeeze out some of the moisture either before freezing or before adding to the batter! And this is definitely something that's easier to do if you don't work outside the home. I would probably rely more on the store if I were still doing the 9-5 deal, and maybe do some freezer cooking on the weekends.Laura @ Green Legacy Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702832151439882306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772243343058005494.post-13705592149833883502012-02-14T12:09:27.700-05:002012-02-14T12:09:27.700-05:00Oh, and chopped onion and garlic - forgot those 2 ...Oh, and chopped onion and garlic - forgot those 2 key ingredients! ;-)Lisa @ Two Bears Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464839163693785901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772243343058005494.post-12486538051524687782012-02-14T11:57:28.315-05:002012-02-14T11:57:28.315-05:00Beans are healthy and cheap.

I made a really yummy soup this weekend in the crockpot - bag of limas, 3 cups shredded cabbage, chicken broth to cover, red pepper flakes, ground pepper, marjoram - so simple yet surprisingly a lot of flavor! And...uh....you'll get your fiber for the week! You have to cook it all day though - I think it was in around 11 hours.Lisa @ Two Bears Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464839163693785901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772243343058005494.post-88910226118226817882012-02-14T11:55:53.597-05:002012-02-14T11:55:53.597-05:00I agree breakfast cereal isn't a value for sur...I agree breakfast cereal isn't a value for sure. I also agree buying USDA organic is more expensive but as you say there are ways to cut what we have to buy, just like with your breakfast foods your making. It does usually require as you say some of our time but its our health! :O) I cook a ton from scratch as it does save money. I do not work outside the home so that surely helps me on the time thing. So you froze your Zuchs and then use them in the bread? I assume you grated them before you froze them? I have not used my freezer much but I think this year I will be. I also plan to dehydrate Zuchs and Yellow Squash this year. I wonder if Zuch rehydrated would work in breads?Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560812716080117867noreply@blogger.com
