Happy Food Drive day 🤗

Do you know the best way to keep fruits and vegetables 🥕 🍎 from going bad ??

When first grabbing your food from St. Luke’s drive, wash and prepare them like you normally would , cut them and place them in the freezer in a tight ziploc bag. Place them deep in your freezer if you don’t plan on eating them right away , or place them in front of the freezer and use them with your favorite smoothies, soups and stews :)
