    I do freeze some of my beans in silicone molds if I want to keep the water but the most of the times I do freeze all my cooked grains (from buckwheat to oat groats) and beans in silicone bags, all well drained. The trick to avoid they become a solid block is to take them out the first 2-3 hours from the freezer and bang them on the kitchen counter every now and then. I prefer this way because they are easier to defrost and I can really use small quantities and I can mix and match as I like. They other day for example, a friend ended up staying for lunch and I didn’t have anything prepared, I only had a little ratatouille left in the fridge. I took out some barley, some buckwheat, some black lentils and I mixed with the ratatouille and it was quite delicious and only took minutes to put together.

    Another excellent food prep video Maddie. You would make a good teacher ( not that I am recommending you do that because I know someone who was a teacher and they wouldn't want to be a teacher now). Love 🥰 the video and love 💕Maddie & ❤Q.

    I have NEVER washed my cabbage in my life. It’s grows so tight nothing can get inside them. I’m 61 and have been cooking since I was 21 and in all those years never have I ever washed a cabbage.

    Such relief – a quick and easy summer oven-free prep!! (Still plowing through your amazing mega-cook!) Didn't know about the Broccoli florets – have to add that to my preps. Post-blanch ice shock? Now that I think about it, I'm cooking a lot more volume so my carryover is higher – so no worries! Whats your mushroom trick for the second half extra week, mine are fuzzed shortly after, so I've been quick-pickling any extras. You've inspired me to do a similar light shop, wash, and chop right now!!! Yay Maddie.

    A couple of things if you don’t mind. Lol. You put the inner portion of the lettuce “back“ in a mesh bag and put in the fridge for later. is that a reusable produce bag? And if yes, my real question is, how do you keep them organized while shopping? I just bought a set and they tangle up so fast. Lol. Also the bag producer says you can store anything BUT leafy vegetables.… next, washing equals rinsing? I do see the veggies being immersed and then rinsed. But you are not using anything fancy like baking soda or vinegar or other “sterilizing“ type product? And also not using any kind of spinner? I have tried searching through your other videos About washing veggies. A lot of those products do seem to be geared toward fruit like strawberries, etc. Thank you so much for your videos.

    I’ve done this a couple of times now ( because of you😀) and it’s great, I’ll never go back to daily headaches of what we should have for dinner.
