    We joined a local CSA program and we have been receiving veggies we are not familiar with. One of which, Bok Choy. Would these dishes be easy to freeze and store for the winter months? I am going to try freezing the soup for sure any advice?

      My guess is that they would do just fine in the freezer 🙂

    I’m looking forward to trying all three, but starting out with the soup–it’s a cold, snowy day here in West Michigan. Brrrrr……

      Love to try the soup first. Recovering from surgery…
      Then try the stir fry. Just harvested my first bok choi from my very own tiny garden 🙂
