I buy fresh veggies and cut them up. Then I either portion them or freeze them all in one bag. Since I use a lot of veggies when I cook, I find it is insanely more convenient than chopping them every time. Some things I already prep are:
Bell pepper
Onions
Yams
Carrots
Are there any other veggies that freeze well? I know that stores carry an assortment of frozen veggies but I like to buy them fresh and I am not sure how anything else does in the freezer. TIA!

Hmmm interesting...I've never thought to do this! So raw peppers, onions, yams/ sweet potatoes and carrots all freeze well without any blanching first?

I also freeze raw bell peppers cut up and onions. They are fine without blanching.
