Today’s 31 Day of New Uses for Old Things comes from Pinterest yet again. If you want to see a list of my 31 Days, I have links posted on my sidebar! These 31 Days are definitely a challenge, especially since I took a 4 day winiversary (wine anniversary) in the middle!! (Post on that to come.) Anyway….
I’ve started freezing produce more and more often to keep it from going bad. I LOVE produce and I love to menu plan, but I don’t always stick to my menu (especially lately), so my produce starts to ripen a little too much before I get to the recipe!
I’ve been able to freeze green onions in an old water bottle:
At first, I froze the green onions in an old yogurt container, but it was only halfway full and taking up space. I decided to switch to using a water bottle like I had really seen on Pinterest and LOVE it. This is so much slimmer and easy to fit in the freezer.
No more green onions going bad!!
This summer, I also froze a lot of fruit to use in smoothies:
peaches for smoothies!!
I also found this excellent list of foods you can freeze. Freezing cheese = brilliant! Thanks to my new freezer, which I love, I can freeze a lot more!!
What kinds of things have you found helps to freeze?

Oooh, this will be so useful. We let food go bad a lot of the time, and we need to start freezing more. And now that I know I probably already have what I need to freeze things, I can go ahead and get started!
Thanks for the idea.

No problem! Yeah, I try to to let food go bad and I love having a freezer now for that purpose!
This is what I love about blogging – I would never in a million years have thought of freezing green onions in a bottle. Thanks!
Thanks for popping by the Fibro today.

Loved your blog! Thanks for coming over and commenting!
I learned from a friend of mine a really neat freezing trick. Put your food singuraly on a cookie sheet and partially freeze it. Then transfer it to a bag. Now when it freezes the rest of the way it won’t stick together.
That’s a great tip!! Thanks!
