Especially the onions; I hate chopping them! I never would have thought of this, and what a great way to save time and money! Especially the onions; I hate chopping them!

I already have local peppers and fruits in the freezer awaiting my first long winter without my beloved farmers market. But I did not think about the onions. That was another local item I was going to miss this winter. The farmers market is today so I think I will buy quite a few of them. Also in learning to cook I have begun to learn about lemons and how good they are for you and how you can use them in so much. Great idea for the lemon juice. I finally got up the nerve to try Chicken broth a few weeks ago. My freezer is getting full quick now. It is time to get that deep freeze. Great tips.

Here is my favorite freezer treasure: browned ground beef. When it is on sale, I will buy 5-10 pounds and brown in it batches. I then divide it into 1 or 2 pound portions and freeze it in zipper bags. I use the meat in my crockpot for chili or taco soup or sloppy joes...it makes the prep quick and easy in the morning if the meat is browned and ready to go! I love the lemon/lime juice tip!

I'm interested to see your recipe -- I feel like I'm always doing something different with mine and then not writing it down, so I have no consistency. I read about some ladies who make such a big batch that they mix it in a Rubbermaid storage tub! That sounds like fun, eh? ;) Sarah, Ooooo, how big?

I too keep celery, onion and peppers in my freezer! I've also frozen a mixed batch of the three that I know will be the right amount for one of my favorite meals, jambalaya! (But I've learned to not do too many bags of it - or else when I go to make another variety of soup that doesn't call for peppers, I'm stuck! :) I'm hoping to make a big batch of meatballs this week (you'll see me detail it on my blog in the next few days) - wish me luck! Best, Sarah Great post Katie!

In Michigan, our strawberry season is June. They don't compare to what I can get in the store any time of year. :) Heather,
