I've been on a journey, I call it, to be a better version of myself consciously for the last 2 years. One aspect of that is eating healthier. In doing this, I eat less processed food. I go to the market about 2 times a month. Less processed though means more perishable, which means increased spoilage and money wasted.
I am not about throwing my money into the garbage. No-uh!.
I freeze as many items as I can. I peel food and cut them up and put them in ziploc bags and into the freezer they go. When I need to use them I just defrost or break off a piece and put it in the pot.

This lemon juice. The lemons were starting to spoil so I juiced them. |
|
This is what I call my "natural seasonings for cooking" bag. The items are peeled & pre-cut. It has red & white onions, parsley, escallion/green onion, sweet peppers, scotch bonnet pepper & garlic. |
|
This is for my detox water - lemons, cucumbers & mint. Yes I freeze the mint as I'm not going to use the whole bag I buy. |
|
Escallion/green onion prepped. |
|
Papaya & bananas peeled. I like them to get really ripe so that the flavours are really rich. This great for my shakes & smoothies. I just cut off a piece, it's already frozen making it great for blending. I don't need to add ice. |
