This is what I need to do. I'm so sick of throwing out veggies because I don't eat them before they go bad. I don't buy a lot of fresh vegetables right now (mainly for that reason!), mainly salad stuff. Can you freeze things like lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers? Another stupid question -- what is "blanching"? (total cooking novice here!) I've heard of it before but have no idea what it is or how to do it.
I'd love to use more fresh vegetables, but I don't really know what to do with them or how to use them.
