THE FRUITS OF MY LABORS (and the mess)

Green beans and sugar snap peas

Today was my day to deal with all my veggies I bought, store the left over ham in the freezer and make a large pot of soup using chicken and lots of veggies..here is the result of a day in my kitchen.

Broccoli and carrots

Peppers waiting to be processed

These peppers will get cut and frozen on a cookie sheet and then bagged but I am taking a short break.

Veggies to be eaten raw or fresh

Asparagus to be eaten fresh on Saturday then will freeze the rest.

Also some left over broccoli and baby carrots to be eaten raw...

Minestrone soup beginning to cook

A crock pot of soup for tonight and several more days...Some will be frozen for later and some will be eaten later in week...Yummmmmm! I love veggie soup when it is home made and good for you.

Now the fun part...Cleaning up...but it was worth it for all the time I will have later on and all the good veggies to enjoy.











Usually Bob does all my kitchen clean up but he is busy helping out at the hospital so it is all left to me. :(
