We purchased green bags (our came from MOM's and were EVERT-FRESH, though there are other brands. check out http://www.reusablebags.com/store/evertfresh-green-bags-pack-medium-p-27.html)<BR/><BR/>I was very skeptical but the veggies I will take out today, from last week or earlier, will be as fresh as the Tuesday I picked them up. remarkable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668715507087739516.post-29840904104563227552008-07-14T20:36:00.000-07:002008-07-14T20:36:00.000-07:00make burritos for the week ahead! as the weekend r...make burritos for the week ahead! as the weekend rolls around and you still are swimming in greens, make up a batch of stir-fry with onions and garlic and greens and hot sauce and cumin and toms. add in some black beans... olive oil, some acid (red wine vinegar, lemon juice, etc.). swirl and cook. meanwhile, get some rice cooking up -- i favor med grain brown with some cumin seed. and now assemble time, tortilla, rice, cheese, green mixture. roll it on up and wrap in parchment paper. make several. put in freezer. voila! you have delicious burritos that go from freezer to lunch bag to belly with ease. AND, your greens are somewhat preserved.<BR/><BR/>i also have frozen greens to use later for soups and such. a quick blanch and then toss into those thick freezer quality plastic bags that just can be used over and over and over again.danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306414410540982854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668715507087739516.post-17721559016531205122008-07-11T11:34:00.000-07:002008-07-11T11:34:00.000-07:00this probably wouldn't work for greens on life sup...this probably wouldn't work for greens on life support but for those that have just been out on the counter or in the heat for a little too long...try soaking in cold water with a splash of plain old white vinegar. it has saved a few heads of lettuce at my house.leanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185668411603613285noreply@blogger.com
