The summer is at an end soon but we'll be enjoying summer crops for a few more weeks. Summer squash has been abundant but it will be gone before you know it. Take some time to freeze a little for a late fall treat. Zucchini bread and muffins freeze well and squash casseroles, as well as lightly sauteed onion and summer squash mixture. The same goes for your sweet peppers. I cleaned and chopped our sweet pepper share and separated small amounts into freezer bags to use in stews this fall and winter. Banana pepper is wonderful added to chili and bell pepper gives a kick to bolognese sauce.
