We also showed how to make sourdough bread crouton from leftover sourdough bread. You break the sourdough bread in small pieces. You put the bread pieces in a baking pan and bake in the oven at 300 degrees for 30 to 50 minutes or until they are light brown. Let them cool and transfer to a freezer bags. You can store them in the freezer to be used as snacks or served with salad.

In the previous two videos, we shared how we shopped our freezer for meat and from our garden for our lunch. We harvested greens we planted and wild plants as well. One of these wild plants is garlic mustard (alliaria petiolata) a biennial edible wild green in the mustard and cabbage family (Brassicaceae).
12 min in the 1st video I showed an herb at the ground level. It is call wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum). It is in the mint family (Lamiaceae family). You can use it as a spice in your cooking. We used it in our mild kefir dressing for the salad. Right after wild thyme, I showed winter savory also called mountain savory (Satureja montana). It is also mint or Lamiaceae family. We also harvested broad leaf sorrel (Rumes acetosa) in the Polygonaceae family. I added dandelion leaves (Taraxacum) in the Asteraceae family. We mentioned another spice hardy to zone 5a. It is horseradish (Armoracia rusticana). It is a root spice in the mustard and cabbage family Brassicaceae. We harvested creeping Charlie (Glechoma hederacea) in the mint family Lamiaceae. It is also called ground -ivy or field balm. Creeping Charlie is edible wild plant, and it is medicinal.
We shared how to cook from scratch using your garden, pantry, and freezer. We made Wild Salad, baked homemade Sourdough Bread, and served with Baked Chicken.
The dressing used on the wild salad was milk kefir dressing.
The sourdough bread was made with unbleached flour, tab water, and sourdough culture.
The baked chicken was chicken quarter purchased on sales and store in the freezer.
