I freeze any flour I purchase for the same reason you freeze your berries. I agree with freezing and washing. I freeze any flour I purchase for the same reason you freeze your berries.

I love it, love it. Thanks so much for help in finding the bread recipe. I really love making my family more healthy and less dependent on stores. I also love learning about cooking items that I don't have but now want. Thanks again for everything. I can’t tell you how much I learn, forget, and relearn from your site. I love it, love it.

After cleaning fresh greens from our garden this year for freezing/eating and seeing all the stuff I rinsed away (I rinse greens 5-6 times...I know...a little OCD :-) I no longer eat greens that are commercially frozen or canned. I can't bear the thought of what is left in that food. I'm also thinking I can't eat peas/beans/etc. that I don't preserve myself! The older I get...the pickier I get. Now, if some of that pickiness would transfer to my housekeeping, I'd be in business. lol. Judy, I’m with you about rinsing stuff.

I have to agree with you about washing bagged spinach etc. I wash all the greens that come in bags before I use it. Same with clothes after a trip. Hi Judy.

You don't buy any at the store? I make some during the winter but I can't stand having the kitchen get really hot during the summer. I know it's healthier to make your own. DD and I are always on diets so is it possible the homemade is lower in calories? Judy,

I know it’s healthier to make your own. DD and I are always on diets so is it possible the homemade is lower in calories?
