I DO a crap TON of celery, onions, and herbs. I use a ridiculous amount of the stuff, but never all at the same time, which makes buying and using a whole bunch at a time wasteful, and freezing it, well that bottomless pit freezer issue. LOL.
I also do pasta and rice that's already been cooked so rehydrating only takes time, not tons of wasted water and heat. (think camping)
but I also use it here when I don't want to long cook rice for DH.
I have cheeses too.
Just a lot of stuff.
I put them in soups and roasts, grind them up in meatloaf. powder and reconstitute for sauces or leave whole and rehydrate for roasting or grilling.
My thin sliced meats are marinated, cooked, and then freeze dried and packaged for my high protein, non-jerky jerky.
Lots of things you can do.

Would love to, but it was on our morning national news radio show 2-3 weeks ago. Couldn't begin to tell you how to find it. I just remember hearing it and saying, ' oh, we're still on the upswing side with eggs, eh?' And going about the morning.
The three tiny volunteer dill plants were eaten down to the nubs by 8 swallowtail caterpillars. And I felt bad that they were out of food.
This morning I found them all fat and happy living on the 8 foot tall Lovage plant. THAT should take them a while to work though. I'm going to have the...
And a tie up over the top. I go overboard when it comes to tying things down though.
One good country bump, and that load is like unleashing slinkies. LOL
