Even if you freeze something and end up using it 5 days later, it's still going to taste fresher if it was in the freezer for 5 days than if it was in the fridge for 5 days. And if you end up not using it that week, it'll keep for months in the freezer.<br /><br />And the trick is giving yourself an hour or two in the kitchen every week when you get your veggies home, to prep everything for storage. Some things need to be washed and dried and put in plastic bags in the fridge right away, like lettuce, peppers, squash. Other things need to be blanched and frozen (like greens, or green beans).<br /><br />If you don't take care of everything as soon as you get it home, you have a fridge full of veggies that just get rattier every day, and you end up throwing half of it out because you couldn't use everything fast enough.<br /><br />It also helps that we have a year-round growing season here.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893392324561217969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779259220257272689.post-75594915834852772452009-11-18T08:59:21.373-05:002009-11-18T08:59:21.373-05:00Trying again--

Your post makes it seem doable. I actually might try it. Thank you.Karen Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519280949304212538noreply@blogger.com
