We freeze a lot of the fruits already mentioned, but need to be better about the veggies. Thanks for the ideas. When my 7 year old was little, he LOVED to eat frozen peas right out of the bag. Cook them and he wouldn’t touch them! So I’d take a small handful, put them in his little bowl that suctioned to the table and he had a great, cool snack! They are similar to grapes (and cherries) in that they are not super hard and mush right up in their little mouths.

Shredded zucchini has worked best for me. I tried sliced and it was pretty wilted in a stir fry. A casserole might work out ok though.
cathy, I love raspberries!
Heidi, eggs? I would have never guessed! One thing I have not had good luck with is cream cheese. It gets really gross after freezing.

I recently froze raspberries because they were a good deal and I want to make jam but haven’t had an opportunity yet. Today we picked a huge amount of peas from our garden which we’ll never eat in time, so I plan on freezing them. I will also be freezing our zuchinni when it’s ready to be picked. Thanks for the great ideas. I do have a neighbor that actually freezes eggs. She cracks them into freezer bags and freezes as much as her family will eat in one bag. Crazy huh? I know that’s not produce, but just goes to show you can pretty much freeze anything.

Great ideas! Hoping we have some zucchini out of our garden to try freezing this year. Last year I froze peaches and corn. I plan to add raspberries (if we don’t eat them all!) and maybe apples this year.

I had no idea you could freeze some of that stuff – especially the cherries, or zucchini. And I’ve been wondering, because we love chicken zucchini casserole. I’ll have to give it a try.
