Those of you who are cooks probably already know this, but I just found out a bit ago!
Did you know you can buy a bulk amount of fresh veggies such a broccoli, carrots, zucchini, etc, divide them into quart size freezer bags and store them in the fridge for up to 3 weeks?
I purchased broccoli florets already cut up from Costco, divided them in to the smaller freezer bag packages and have been using them for a couple weeks now.
All you do when you are ready to use them is poke holes in the freezer bag with a fork and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. You dont need to add water to the freezer bag, the veggies just steam.
Also, you can saute zucchini, tomatoes and onions,put it in a freezer bag, freeze and then use later to add to prepared Spaghetti Sauce. Sure makes Ragu Chunky Vegetable taste a whole lot better!
As you can tell, I am learning the basics of healthy eating late in life!!!!!!
