We have a joke in family between me and my Sib.. My mom would always start dinner by telling us what was free or how much she spent on the dent and bent can on pea.. Drove my Dad nuts and us too But now as grown ups with kids struggling to fed our own familys we say the same things. My Brother who is a pastor even preached about Mom always praising God at the table for all the free food he gave us.. What a blessing it is to have friends who share and a GOd who cares..

My girls like to eat them raw-so it's hard to even save enough to freeze around here. Neat post-nice friend : ) I’ve never tried drying peppers before-maybe next summer.

And thanks for the idea of drying peppers. We've never done that and will try it next year. I learn lots from you too! With the colored peppers, we love to roast them. I'll fill up a whole cookie sheet, put them under the broiler, turning after each side gets blackened. Then put them in a paper bag to "steam" them until they are cool enough. Then you peel them and get the seeds out of the inside. I'll freeze little bags of them to enjoy later with fried eggs and in soups, on pizza, etc. Melissa Hey Kendra -

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:45:43 +0000 http://newlifeonahomestead.com/?p=2932#comment-6473 Kendra, I chop and dehydrate our green peppers every year. When I am making spaghetti, I put the chopped up pieces in the noodle water as I am waiting for it to boil. They rehydrate and we use them in the spaghetti! By the way, thanks for leaving a suggestion on my blog to read your Butterberry Farm series. Little do you know that I have been avidly following that series since the very first post, lol! Kendra,
