Too Much Spinach? Freeze It....

A recent grocery store purchase for me was this huge box of organic spinach - 

for $1.99.  It was almost the only 'greens' option to I bought it. 

(I shop a discount grocery store and have to take what is available on that day.)  

But this is too much for just the 2 of us.

 Thankfully, I stumbled upon the idea that I could freeze some of it.  

So the 'extra' got a good washing...

Then a quick 20 second or so dip in boiling water 

(to blanch it and keep it from discoloring)...

Then another quick dip - this time in cold water...

Then drained.

All ready for the freezer and future recipes...

And a fringe benefit - that big plastic container is

 helping to organize my under sink detergents.  

Yes, it was that big!

Always thrifty!
