I have a grandmother who would never dream of buying containers to store leftovers or food for the freezer. She has always reused food containers, such as glass pickle jars or plastic cool-whip and sherbert containers, so I am not quite sure how or why I got started buying plastic food storage containers.

Every year, Giant Food Stores of PA has a FREE turkey promotion that I always take advantage of. I will take advantage of that deal too and send the turkey to the food bank. Stretch your dollar even more and make homemade turkey stock that can also be stored in the freezer.

If you're not going to eat the left food before it spoil, then freeze it. Thanks for reading.

Once cool, I break up into small pieces and run through my food processor and pulse until the toasted bread becomes bread crumbs. Do you make homemade breadcrumbs? Trust me, I didn't toast the bread the first time that I made crumbs and I had a big mess. Put the crumbs in a freezer container and then store the crumbs in the freezer.
