Golden,

I freeze stuffed peppers all the time. They do freeze well. If we wouldn’t freeze food there would be too much wasted food. I freeze in individual portions.

My daughter makes stuffing zucchini all the time. I have not tried her recipe yet. I need to. I keep forgetting about it. I guess those could be frozen too. She doesn’t cook a whole lot at one time.

Her boyfriend is a fabulous cook. I think they take turns cooking.

Isthisrealyreal, I char my peppers on my stove with no pan just use the open flames the way my dad did it!

I will have to make your roasted cauliflower! Sounds yummy!😋

Golden, you can simply throw them on a bbq grill or you can use a heavy bottomed pan and char the outside that way. If you toss them in a plastic bag while they are hot the skins will just slip off in about 15 minutes.

I love roasted cauliflower with fennel seed and parmesan cheese.

Good tip, real, Thank you. I've never actually roasted a pepper but gather the flavour is great. Roasted zucchini might freeze well. I have never riced cauliflower. I steam it and eat as such, or mash it. Love it roasted too. The mashed cauliflower freezes well for me.

I think all this will have to wait till tomorrow. My sinus/sore throat is hanging around (no, not that virus, it is something I live with). I have food in the fridge I can heat up for supper.

Golden, I can highly recommend roasting and then slicing or dicing your peppers it is the yummiest way I have frozen them.

I have found that I lose all the moisture from my zucchini by freezing it, so I grate it and only use it for bread if I have to freeze it.

You are correct that blanching veggies keeps the texture, color and flavor when freezing. Rice'ing (?) cauliflower is a great way to freeze it.

All of these foods sound so yummy.

Blanching is supposed to keep colour, flavour and texture I think. I find peppers are just fine cut into strips and frozen. I once froze a whole pepper (I was in a rush) and won't do that again. When thawed It was a soggy mess so I threw it out. But cooked stuffed peppers seem to freeze fine.

Oh, I forgot to ask you, cw. Do you blanch the zucchini before freezing? I don't blanch peppers.

Thx cw. I actually bought some frozen zucchini spirals as well, I think I will roast some with the other veggies for supper tonight. chunk some and freeze for stir fries, and eat the rest raw. They keep pretty well.

I cut up and froze some of the peppers last night. Two of them were over 6" long! I am limited by the number of baking sheets I have for freezing the individual strips before bagging them. I was thinking I would stuff at least two of them. Stuffed peppers freeze well. Good keto food! Getting there!!!! 😊

Golden freezing diced zucchini for pasta sauce works very well but I love making "zoodles" with a cheese or alfredo sauce, you don't need a spiralizer you can just make the "noodles" with a knife.

Sounds yummy, Golden. Roasting vegetables brings out a wonderful flavor.

The last of the pork loin roast with homemade apple cinnamon slices. A few fresh raspberries and a little mint chocolate for dessert.

It's the after dinner which is daunting this evening. I had groceries delivered and ended up with a sink full of bell peppers and zucchini. Last time it was celery. I know the best thing to do with the peppers is to cut them in strips and freeze them for use later when cooking. I suppose that would work for the zucchini too, chunks, or slices. I'll bake the spaghetti squash, pull out the flesh and freeze it for later use, and roast the cauliflower tomorrow, maybe with the asparagus. That leaves salad makings and mushrooms. Should work!!!

It’s Good Friday so we will be eating very little. Fasting from meat.

Probably a vegetable soup or hummus and pita bread.

Chicken noodle soup with vegetables, cucumber/tomato salad Made own soup stock since we can't readily go to the store. Last week made chicken/veg soup and thought I'd be adventuresome by adding a jar of Alfredo Sauce. I used fresh cauliflower, cabbage, carrots. celery. That would be the 5C soup if you count the Alfredo Sauce as cheese. My husband couldn't get enough - something different and yet good with the few cool days left of Spring.
