Frozen brocolli, peas, corn, chopped onions and green peppers, brussel sprouts, green beans. I am not home for dinner during the week (i work nights) so frozen is easier to buy without it going bad before I can use it! heffalump on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables/page/2#post-332856 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 07:34:58 +0000 heffalump 332856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Depends on how much time I have. I use a lot of frozen peas, and some recipes frozen spinach, but usually fresh.

I also like the stir-fry vegetables for nights when I am feeling lazy, haha.

I can't get into the swing of freezer cooking or using what's in my freezer. I waste a lot more than I use somehow. ladyfingers on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables/page/2#post-324228 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:39:17 +0000 ladyfingers 324228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It depends, if it's a casserole or a shepherd's pie or something, then yes. regberadaisy on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323792 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:14:54 +0000 regberadaisy 323792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not since our college days. We don't use the premix bags either. But then we a ton of veggies. mrs. wagon on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323785 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:09:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 323785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All the time! I'm really bad at using up fresh produce and I hate to see it go to waste. We love using frozen mixed veggies for fried rice (bokeum bap) and frozen french beans. yoursilverlining on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323779 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:06:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 323779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We only use frozen peas. The rest I don't like because the texture gets weird, and I hate the flavor of frozen spinach; it tastes so different from fresh spinach IMO. littlebug on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323772 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:58:16 +0000 littlebug 323772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use them pretty regularly. They're flash-frozen at the peak of their ripe-ness, so they still contain all the good nutrients, and as far as I'm concerned, they taste pretty much the same. Sometimes I don't get around to using fresh veggies until they're past their prime, so they've either lost a lot of their nutrients or taste, or I have to throw them out. heffalump on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323760 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:49:31 +0000 heffalump 323760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH doesn't love the taste of frozen veggies, but I'll still use them in some things. Just rarely.

The frozen veggies we keep are the steam-fresh, unsauced variety: lima beans, edamame, sugar peas, sweet peas, broccoli, stir-fry mix (broccoli and peppers), corn, and cauliflower. If I buy fresh it's only when I know I have a meal I plan on making that will use it so it won't go to waste, otherwise frozen suits our taste and our meal planning perfectly.

I eat so much frozen broccoli. And my daughter's favorite veggie is peas, so I get those individual steam fresh things I can just throw in the microwave for her. softcream on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323671 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 02:15:32 +0000 softcream 323671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we don't use frozen veggies. it is a bummer when we don't get around to cooking all the fresh vegetables before they start looking sad though. if we're able to catch the vegetables before they get yucky, we'll usually pickle them. and by we, i mean the hubs. erwoo on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323638 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 23:12:12 +0000 erwoo 323638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, same here with the fresh veggies. My husband gets on my case about it all the time. I do buy organic frozen peas, corn, and peas and carrots from Whole Foods. I also buy their organic broccoli but they don't taste as good as fresh so I also have fresh ones on hand as well. I like a lot of Asian veggies as well but they don't make those frozen. Probably won't taste good frozen anyway! pinkcupcake on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323571 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:49:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 323571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Fresh veggies are so much better but we end up wasting so muh of it. I usually keep broccoli, peas, corn, and stir fry veggies in the freezer.

Also spinach that we can't get fresh here, and edamame- yum! yin on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323501 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:17:00 +0000 yin 323501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I mainly buy frozen peas and edamame. I'm trying to add frozen spinach and kale to smoothies. I like fresh veggies but have such a hard time cooking everything before it goes bad. daniellemybelle on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323486 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:12:35 +0000 daniellemybelle 323486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm bad about using up veggies. I try to buy fresh to force myself to use them but they still go bad. So I buy frozen so as to not waste money. sunny on "Do you cook with frozen vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-frozen-vegetables#post-323266 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 19:35:51 +0000 sunny 323266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use frozen bell peppers in pasta.
