Frozen Food Items

I am trying to eat healthier - eating more veggies and to save some money, I try and buy some frozen items, instead of fresh (I don't always get it all eaten when I buy fresh, then have to throw it out). So I buy a bag thinking I can serve it in several portions, but after I put it in my freezer it freezes solid as a rock and I can't even bust it apart. Why is it, at the grocery store, the veggies move freely in the bag, but when I get it home they freeze solid as a rock?!! Has anyone every noticed that?

They do that after you open the bag because you let moist (moister than what they use in the factory) into the bag. Tightly sealing it and removing as much air as possible after you open the bag originally is your best bet.

Some freezers also have temperature gauges on them. Mine does anyway....maybe yours is to high?

In the factory most veggies are quick frozen, so ice doesn't accumulate, but the moisture stays in the veggie. It could be that they are melting from being out of the freezer too long (in the cart, in the bag on the way home...) and the moisture is then feezing into a solid block in the freezer at home. This has happened to me, so I make sure I select my frozen foods last ont he way to the register, and if it is a warm day I bring an ice chest with freezer bags in it to keep it cold on the way home.

God bless,

One way to get around this is to portion it out in smaller freezer bags when you get home, then you can just pull out the right portion for that day without opening a big bag and fighting with a blob. :lol:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had a doctor for a few years too long who would always begin any response to nearly any question or comment I had, especially if I requested any type of test, with: "Mr. Adams, it looks like you've been doing some Google searches..." He never took me seriously, even when my total cholesterol levels were routinely over 300 and my father died in his 40's of a heart attack. Needless to say, I switched doctors and now have one that is in my corner.
