52. For veggies

Mon Sep 22, 2025, 04:46 PM

Sep 22

I usually buy frozen broccoli, corn, peas, stir-fry mixes (usually some variation of sliced carrots, green beans, red bell peppers, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, peas, baby corn, etc), spinach (whole or chopped).

And for my oatmeal, except for when I'll pare, core, and slice an apple, I rotate frozen peaches, blueberries, strawberries, and mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries). It is convenient! Of course that means my freezer (regular one) is usually full.
