Smart Food Storage

I always buy onions, green peppers and other produce in bulk. To make sure nothing goes to waste, I'll set aside a few that I plan to use soon. For the rest, I'll wash them, chop into strips and cubes, and then store them in freezer containers. When you need to make a recipe fast, you can just open the freezer, take what you need, seal it back up and save the rest for the next hectic day!

Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that as far as this type of produce is concerned it can be chopped and frozen as is, no need to blanch or prepare it any special way.


Thanks...good advice!

I have been using the Debbie Meyer Green BOXES for bread, strawberries, lettuce and bananas and they work great! The bags never worked for me. It is just me and I hate to waste anything.
I always freeze the tomatoes from my garden. That way come the months, I can make sauce with fresh home grown tomatoes.
