Need to start menu planning, i think

[mamamoomoo]

 I really don't believe in menu planning. I'm very into spontaneity and have a hard time having anyone, including myself, telling me what i need to be making for supper. What if i don't feel like it? What if something comes up and i no longer have time for a patchke? What if I stam don't feel like eating the food thats scheduled? Not to mention

You can chop them up and freeze for future use.
You can make hot ukrainian borscht with beets and cabbage and onion (it is like a veggie soup, you also add red beans and tomato paste).

I was thinking of making borsht. Have a recipe to share?

I actually do... but I have to run to work today, so maybe tonight...
You'll need onion, garlic, potatoes, beets (not too many, 1 or 2 small), cabbage, red beans and tomato sauce, paste or ketchup... You can start soaking your red beans now. :)

i can chop and freeze. Good idea. I just am never sure which veggies are fine frozen. Also, theres the aspect that a lot of the vegetables go to the animals and i'm not sure they'll go for frozen and then defrosted veggies...

Peppers, zuchhini, shredded cabbage are fine frozen (then can just drop them in a soup).
Beets I am not so sure, cucumbers I don't think so.
Onions - they sell them here frozen, but I never do myself. I think for frying it will be fine.

Onions are fine frozen.
