Here's a little tip to make life easier for you in the New Year,
and help to save you money.
I know we've all been in a situation where we find our vegetable bin
overflowing with vegetables on their last legs. Sometimes you buy something on
sale (in my case, a four pack of green
peppers), and then decide not to make the dish that made use of them. I cannot
stand waste of any kind, so certainly don't want to watch my fresh vegetables
all go bad. So...what to do? The answer is simple. I'm sure you've all seen
bags of chopped onion in the freezer section of your grocery store. Did you know that you
can also dice and freeze green pepper? I generally set aside one day a week to
go through everything that's in my vegetable bin and determine what can be chopped, bagged, and frozen for future use.
Today is my chopping day. I bought a bag of onions on sale, so I'm going to be
dicing them, bagging them up in measured quantities, and freezing them; I'm
chopping and bagging green peppers as well. As some recipes (namely
my favorite Greek salad) call for strips of green pepper, I'll cut half of the
green peppers in slices and bag those for future Greek salad use. The rest
I'll dice for use in soups, stews, and sauces.
Not only are you going to find this
invaluable in the coming year, but you will also save time and money.
Let's try to make things easier for ourselves in the New Year. You can start
right here.
