Recipe Tips
When I prep my leftover holiday ham I sort it into containers of slices and other containers of misc bits and pieces. The bits and pieces that are not good for sandwiches but are perfect for making soups and other leftover ham recipes.
I dice carrots and celery a couple of times a month and then store it in the freezer. I portion out the carrots and celery into 1 cup measurements and use snack-size Ziploc bags which fit 1 cup of veggies perfectly. This helps a ton especially during soup and crockpot season when I am constantly grabbing celery and carrots and don't want to prep them every single morning.
I don't dice onions early and freeze them because I always worry the onion flavor will overtake everything in the freezer. I do hate dicing onions though so my favorite trick is to use this vegetable chopper for onions. It is quick and easy and I don't end up crying over onions.
I tend to peel the potatoes before putting them into the soup since we like to share with my husband's grandmother and she can struggle with potato peels and chewy bits without her dentures. I use an OXO Peeler which makes it easy to peel the potatoes. If you like the flavor of the peels you can easily leave them on.
