Do You Have A Chop Day? / myLot

I was reading a post about food, and I began to wonder if you have a day that you just chop foods, like peppers onions, celery. It would sure make it a lot easier if it was already chopped and measured. What is your take, do you have a prep day?

No, I prefer to chop vegetables just before using them.

@popciclecold If I can prepare a dish before, I usually freeze so I have something ready to eat in case I do not want to cook.

Yeah. Me too. But seeing those people trapped in their homes because of snow, makes me sort of panic.

This is a great idea but I don't do it much. We do chop up spring onions and freeze them in small containers. You can only buy it in big bunches and usually only need a small amount so that works for us. We also chop up parsley and freeze in small containers.

Good job. Very important. The weather is changing so. No way California expected the weather they have.

Better if it is done at the time of cooking.

I usually chop my vegetables just before I need them. But there are times when I chop onions and peppers and freeze them. Especially onions cause I use so much of them.
