Blanching and Freezing Veggies

A couple of weeks ago, I called around to find out how to properly freeze veggies because our garden is producing yellow squash at a rate which exceeds our desire to consume them.  Those I called were either accustomed to canning or had forgotten the freezing process.  So, you know what I did? Yep, I Googled it! Now I am going to share what I found out with you while simultaneously showing off my first batch.

Monsters in the garden

Here are a couple of squash from our garden. The zuccini is actually much larger than we should have let it get.  The yellow squash is probably bigger than we should have let it get to. It wasn't even the biggest one, we ate that one. It was yummy! It was at least half-again the size of the one in this picture. I cut it into strips and removed the seeds and did the same with a zuccinin and sauted them together with some garlic, onion, salt and pepper. It is so cool eating stuff we grew in our own garden.  For the 4th of July I made potato salad and included some red and yellow potatos that Rich grew. Now we have to learn how to can because this stuff is coming in fast.
