And I was right. Sigh.
I really tried my best; incorporating into my menu plans more times than I care to count, but it was like a never ending pasta bowl from Olive Garden. IT NEVER ENDED. It really should have gone out last week, but since I was at the beach, I didn't actually throw anything out before I left.
So really this counts as two weeks worth of food waste, right? In that case, I say I did really well.
I also have half of two different onions (a red and a white for those of you who are confused as to why I have 2 onion halves in the first place) sitting around in the fridge. Can I chop them up and freeze them? Is there anything special I need to do before I stick them in there?

Yes - chop and freeze them.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that counts as two weeks of food waste, in which case: you rock.
Happy Friday!

ReplyDeleteYes, you can totally chop those babies up and freeze them! I've found that that can be the perfect way to have a "pre-made" soup base ready to go at a moment's notice. I'll often chop up celery, onion and carrot and freeze them together. The only issue I've found is that the frozen chopped veggies will release a bit more water than usual.

Thanks so much for the advice! I plan on going home and chopping up small baggies of onions to have on hand. I figured I could do this, but I always need some reassurance!
