Over the past few months, every time I made asparagus or celery, I saved all the leftover bits in the freezer. Yesterday, I finally had enough to cook up some vegetable stock. I added some dried onion, garlic, pepper, and bay leaves. Now I'm freezing it in the ice cube trays and saving the cubes in freezer bags, so that I will have a nice, easy to use supply for the future.

Considering that I have also started to make my own bread, I'm feeling like I'm making some decent strides towards healthy eating and smaller grocery bills.
