I decided to join Crystal at Money Saving Mom and FishMomma at Life as Mom in the freezer cooking day. Although in my case I’m spreading it out over a few days. I find with many young little ones it’s much easier to spread the work out this way.
I actually started a few days ago and a little differently from many people. I’m partly emptying my freezers! Yes I’m working at taking many of the vegetables and fruits out and dehydrating them. This will save us a lot of freezer space and keep them in good condition longer then freezing.
Below is my plan although it may change depending on the sales this week.
My OAMC list for the next few days:
- Smooth Marmalade x 2
- Grapefruit Marmalade
- dehydrate blueberries
- dehydrate zucchini from freezer
- Whole wheat bread x8
- Blueberry muffins x 2 batches
- Waffles
- BBQ marinated chicken

Dehydrating sounds interesting. I would to learn more about it. I am expanding my gardens this year and will need alternative was to preserve my bounty.
I was just reading up on dehydrating this morning…. do you use your oven or a dehydrator? I had one years ago, but I don’t recall that it worked too well… Seems to me that the oven could do a fine job. Any thoughts???

That sounds like such a good idea! I can’t cook to save my life – so why not dehydrate it!
UPDATE: I mentioned dehydrating to my husband… we did have one that got tossed out because it didn’t work properly, BUT we also were given one that was being stored only 10 feet from where we were talking!! LOL
HURRAY… I dug it out, cleaned it up and dehydrated mushrooms that I had just gotten on sale!! AWESOME test run…. looks like we’re in!!
