Pre-chopped onion
Yes, yes, pre-chopped onions are super convenient, especially when we don’t have enough time to cook, but your time savior could actually be your worse nightmare. Unlike most vegetables, onions shouldn’t be frozen. According to food experts, their texture, pungency, and taste are all affected by the freezing process.
So, it might seem like a good deal when grocery shopping, but your dishes won’t taste the same. Just forget about buying frozen onions and consider purchasing an onion slicer. It’s inexpensive, easy-to-use, and it will do the trick in mere seconds.
Here’s our favorite veggie slicer/chopper for a perfect cut!

Absolutely RIGHT….If ya don’t have the time to prepare it fresh, then ya don’t have the time to enjoy it at all….I do freeze leftovers that will be eaten within a week just to have more storage space in the refrigerator for upcoming meal preparation. I will say I do have a side of beef in the freezer as well as some fresh chicken, but this meat is totally raw – no condiments or preservatives used and kept at -4 degrees Centigrade. I’ve never had any issue with thawing and cooking the freezer meat. The cuisine here is very basic and simple. I seldom shop at a popular “grocery store”, but rather the butcher, dairy or bakery – all which are local here.
That is great and one up from e as i do not ever shop at any ‘supermarkets’ but do go to natural Grocers and Trader Joes for specific things. My cart looks almost identical every time. My variety comes from what I find locally, and by using many herbs and spices I keep in glass jars in my cabinets. One thing I need to change though is that I do not replace those herbs and spices often. I have it on my agenda to dump all of them once a year and buy fresh ones. For one thing they are more flavorful, and secondly they only keep for so long even though they are in glass sealed tightly with a screw on lid. and it is not expensive to replace them annually, plus you get a better idea of how much you will use in a year and not fill the jars either.
Quality is so important and so health giving.
Do research on feed that goes into your meat. You’d be surprised at the chemicals, pesticides, and bio toxins that are already there. Things that are banned in other countries are readily used in the USA
I would NEVER buy frozen pasta!!!
I wish I had a huge freezer. I live in a small apt. My kitchen (if you can call it that) is 3′ x 6′. My fridge is very small.
Healthy hint: if the pictures on the frozen meal boxes make you drool, read the ingredient list on the package! Then buy those healthy items, find a RECIPE and batch cook at home/freeze leftovers! You will NOT miss the junk added to frozen ready meals and the plastic packaging trays filled with health damaging non-food substances stay in the store! Show the food marketing industry you and your hard earned money are the change!
Use the pretty pictures on the boxes in the frozen food isle of the store as inspiration ideas, leave the frozen junk in the store freezer and learn to COOK YOUR OWN FOOD AT HOME. All the healthy ingredients are in the store to take home, then you find the recipe and batch cook extra for leftovers in your freezer.
At least you didn’t recommend “killing the chicken at home” since all your previous recommendations were to just prepare it at home. :))
Are you discounting all the clean up after making “easy” entres that also require a lot boh chopping? For seniors with limited energy and movement, the work involved can be taxing
Makes ya wonder who voted for him??
Don’t care! I don’t eat enough of the easy foods to worry about it.
How about you jjust tell us and fuck all the Bullshit of haveing to listen to a 30min video, i just delete shit like this ,
You would much better if you did not eat any of these foods frozen or not.
He’s a spoiled rotten grown-ass adult who blames everything on everyone else, but himself. He’s no where near innocent. Everything that spews out of his mouth about others, he’s actually looking in the mirror and talking about himslf. He’s the only thing that’s rigged. Crooked as hell. Takes no responsibility for any of his illegal actions. All his followers are just as stupid as he is.
Oops. You GOT to be talking about tRUMP.
Then YOU come to my house and cook. I am old and do not always have the energy or strength to cook. When I buy frozen food to have on hand, I always get organic and as pure as possible.
I am 83 and have survived so far, eating some frozen foods that you find horrible.
What about refrigerated chicken? Do they suffer from the same problems?
I dont like frozen Food the fresh is much better
If you had a good mama and COMMON SENSE, you will avoid these foods and more. I love scratch cooking and was brought up on it. My parents lived into their 90’s eating the right amount of food as well as proper preparation and cooking methods. Buy Organic as much as you can, grow a Victory Garden and get the best in veggies or visit a local Farmers Market. It’s all about how much you’re willing to put forth.
Great idea
Don’t get sucked into this! I’t’s really nothing but a tedious CLICK AIT INFOMERCIAL with only a minimal tidbit that we already know about which foods not to eat, frozen or otherwise.
Surprised you say Blueberries, I always thought they were healthy and good for you.
So… basically, don’t buy anything frozen. You should’ve just said so instead of writing this long-ass article.
It is my understanding that any and all ingredients MUST be listed on the label, by law. The frozen hamburger patties I buy have one item in the ingredient list: Ground Sirloin. There are frozen Angus Patties…but the ingredient list has numerous items, a few like soy bean oil, canola oil, etc., I don’t eat that poison.
Unfortunately, we feat 90% of those things. Thank you for bringing their truths to my attention. I will try to do better!!!
Apparently, a list of foods you should buy would be shorter
Got It !!!, make your own from fresh products !!!
Two questions. Why are these foods are allowed on the market. And why do we have freezers if everything that is easy and convenient is bad for us? A 3rd would be is what can we buy?
There’s only one brand of frozen pizza that I trust because of its simple, natural ingredients and its exceptional, natural taste. That’s Chicago’s Home Run Inn Pizza.
Fantastic article and full of what to know and what not to eat. Love this article because a lot of of get a little lazy when it comes to cooking these days and are raising our kids this was also. Guarantee make sure that we read the labels to find what is in all this food we want and crave. A little more time but well worth it. Thanks for this article .
