Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
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.
I will have to make your roasted cauliflower! Sounds yummy!😋
I love roasted cauliflower with fennel seed and parmesan cheese.
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.
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.
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!!!! 😊
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!!!
Do you make soups? I love making soups. Comforting to me.
I love Cream of Broccoli soup. It is one of my favorites. Now, I want some.
Probably a vegetable soup or hummus and pita bread.
