Don't recycle...



...your used peanut butter, mayo, Kimchi jars. Run them through your dishwasher to thoroughly deodorize them and they're ready for leftovers to freeze or refrigerate.

Use summer's bounty of stone fruit (peaches, nectarines, apricots) and produce like broccoli and corn to blanch and roast and freeze for winter use. I love surprising guests in December with a 'fresh' fruit cobbler made with summer sunshine treats.

Have you wondered why the food you've frozen doesn't taste so good after a couple of months in the freezer? If you've stored it in plastic containers or plastic bags, the plastic has leeched into the food mingling with the flavor for not-so-fresh smells/tastes. Freezing in clean glass jars eliminates this from happening.
