Celery
freezer cubes have been started for winter food prep. I do this every
fall, so I have ample supply for winter cooking. It comes in handy for
soups/stews, and I don't have to worry about running out in a snow storm
to get it.
I simply dice up the celery, place it into an empty ice tray, add enough water to cover celery, and freeze.
I pop the celery cubes out, and place them into a freezer container (or freezer storage bag). I just toss a few into the pan or crock pot when needed. I read this will be good in the freezer for up to 3 months, but I've had mine up to 6 months and it tasted fine.
I'll freeze another batch next month to last the entire winter/spring.
Update on the dogs. I never ever thought they'd be in their puppy stage after 2 years. However, they can't be left unattended for even a minute. In our view, they are angels.
Last night? They took a box of tissues off the table, which I had just bought (one kiddo is sick) and opened. One of them (or both), took it off the table, and into the living, and tore the box apart. Tissues are all over my sofa.
Sigh.
I guess it's time to go dog toy shopping (again).

Dogs - they get you every time! I once had a dog who spent his nights collecting shoes from all the bedrooms. He never chewed them, but morning would find him sleeping inside a circle of shoes. Kids always knew where to find their shoes. :)
