Is anyone this organised or could I just be crazy?

I meant to add I add water to stuff like pumpkin and potatoes and all other stuff is prepped 3 days in advance because the dry climate here makes stuff wilt fast. All the broccoli is trimmed

Carrot and pumpkin goes brown for me! And onions go very dry very quickly! Must be my black thumb touching it when I peel it!

That's why I throw it in frozen and I usually only use frozen stuff in SC meals. I've never noticed it goes brown...

[Indadhanu]

I've often wondered if you can freeze it and if it goes brown. If I could freeze chopped carrots and potatos I'd prepare them and freeze them and just chuck them the water when I'm ready to cook.

(Well, mostly it's Shel these days, but anyway)

It only goes brown if I leave it not cooking. If I'm cooking it it's fine, it's chopping it up and leaving it out of water that I get brown dry vegetables.

i do! sometimes i'll freeze them in those steamer bags so can just throw that in the microwave

I prep alot of my fruit and veg the day we do shopping. It helps DP eat better if it is either shredded, cut or ready to go, and makes life easier when DS wants lunch or dinner and its all only about 5 min from being ready. I use containers for things I put in the fridge and zip lock bags for the freezer to save on space.

I used to do this when mine were babies.

I would use chinese containers or tupperware. You could do it a week before but you'd want to make sure you stored it correctly. The tupperware fridgemates are good for this.

You can chop and freeze onions most definitely. Just like you can make your own grated cheese by grating it all and adding a sprinkling of corn flour to stop it from sticking (or you can snap freeze grated cheese on a tray and then pop in a bag).

When I was time poor because of babies I did a lot of this stuff. We basically lived off slow cooked meals and easy cook meals.
