FYI: These tomatoes will be used for sauces and put in strews etc. They won't be able to use for slices and add in salads.

They will still have amazing flavour! I love fresh garden tomatoes. Way better than the grocery store got house ones.
Thanks I was wondering what you use them for.
I learned if you put X cut on the bottom of the tomatoes 🍅 it’s easier to peel when cooking..Please tell me how to get the skin off with no X on the bottom I need to know I did what you did!! Froze first then learned 🤷🏼♀️
They're extra good if you roast them before freezing
@@Sheywh12 the skins come right off after you freeze them. No X cut needed.
If you don’t have a food saver, use a ziploc bag, fill it with your vegetable or meat, etc. and then fill your sink or a large bowl full of water and submerge the bag into the water up to the very top and then seal it! Air tight trick!!!
Brilliant. Never would have thought of that. I’ve been sucking the air out with a straw.
🗣Do a lil video! I assume the water will not enter the bag?
I honestly thought this was something I did to be cheap but so glad others out there think alike. :)
THANK YOU ,,, you are so Wise.....great idea...🐈🐈🐈.
Can you do example in another video. Not sure I understand how it works.
I do this before cold season. I buy any veggies I use in soups during the winter. Dice them up, freeze them on a cookie sheet and then put them in ziplock bags. So in the winter I can fix up soups without running to the store for whichever veggies I ran out of. I freeze my jalapeños whole and just dice them as i use them. But haven't done corn on the cob! Fantastic idea.
I need another freezer just for the vegetables, sounds good
I love 💕 the way you take care your family!
I'm mexicana; I will give you a easy way to remove seeds from jalapeños; cut off a half way and then use an small spoon and remove the seeds.
Easy way!!!
Watching this while chopping up tomatoes and peppers and onions from my garden! Canning salsa today. 😋
"No, I'm talking to my friends" 😂😂😂 so funny and natural 😊
I'm so glad someone else thought that funny! I thought that was my que to go to bed
@@tifanymack4587 it made me giggle so much lol
Kimmy , I appreciate your videos. I like seeing “real” videos, of “real” moms that are sometimes just winging it. I always enjoy your TH-cam channel. ❤️😘
I froze my tomatoes as I got them out of my garden and they peeled so easy when I was ready to make juice and sauce to can. I cut the corn off my cob for most of them and just put them in freezer bags-no blanching either and they were great! I didn’t think about freezing the butternut squash I have. I’m going to do that today because I don’t want it to go bad.
I Love these videos where you show all your tips and tricks. I started freezing my vegetables last year, more out of convenience than anything else. I buy huge bags of onions and garlics, peppers, potatoes, celery, carrots, etc at Costco or Sam’s and then I spend a whole day washing chopping, bagging and freezing them. It makes my life so much easier when cooking because then I don’t have to spend time chopping veggies for my meals, I just pull them out of the freezer and defrost them with my meats and then I am good to go!! I am going to try your corn method and I am going to invest in a food saver this weekend. Thanks Kimmie!!
Would you freeze onions and potatoes the same as squash? I love these ideas, I just may have to buy an apt size freezer 🤔😉
@@suziekottke7673 yes mam
How do the potatoes not get brown ? Or do you leave in the skin
Simply Raising Arrows I freeze them cut up in any shape I will use later like diced sliced. That’s the potatoe. Either skin on or off. Onion I just dice and freeze. The potatoes I use in many dishes by browning them in the oven . And use them in those rescipes. Onions I pan fry off the liquid or throw in oven as well to use in dishes!
Simply Raising Arrows I for got . I cook the potatoes first. I boil them just to a soft point .
For a really tasty fall medley I like doing beets, carrot & butternut or acorn squash with salt, pepper and olive oil in the oven until caramelized. It also goes really well with brussel sprouts added
Sounds Marvelous
They're called butternut pumpkins here in Australia. I love them mashed with potatoes. Cook them with your potatoes and just mash as usual. So, SO yummy!
We love jalapeños and home grown ones are so much spicer than the ones in our stores. One of our favorite ways to use them is in pinto beans.
The local farmers market only set up like twice this year. Maaaaaaybe next year. I’m looking forward to it! Great video!
Using a spoon to scoop out the jalapeno ribs and seeds is so much faster and easier. You have some beautiful fresh produce!
Yeeesss!!! FRESH IS BEST! I grew up in the country and the food we ate growing up was waaaayyyy tastier than the food we have in stores now 🤷🏾♀️ Thanks for all the tips 👍🏾 definitely got to invest in a food saver 😉😉😉
I've learned that if you get the juice from the peppers on your eyes hair [r nails run your hands through your hair til the burning stops. As for your eyes rub your hair in your eyes. This stops the burning. I learned my lesson the hard way but the rubbing with hair works.
My mind is blown.... you can freeze tomatoes 🍅 🤯... would love to see a video or IG story of the food saver.
The spaghetti squash can last for 6months! We planted some this yr for the first time and we have been enjoying them since June
I like to make salsa or leave them whole and stuff them with cream cheese and wrap in bacon 😍 so yum!
How long will they last in the freezer?
Thank you. . . . . I stopped blanching years ago I love corn it tastes so crisp and yummy Everything has always turned out wonderful Crisp and with vibrant color and flavor I have a large garden and freeze a variety of veggies Thank you Thank you Thank you
I love adding hot peppers in cornbread.
Great idea!
I had a small harvest from my apartments community garden and a HUGE produce donation from a special program called "Food for All" here in WA state. I am the ONLY person in my apartment complex that EVER comes to get the produce when the donations come in. I have been water bath canning and pressure canning for 3 days straight. My freezers are FULL..Thank you for all that you share through your channel with so many people. It is such a joy to have what I call an "Apron Marathon" and binge listen/watch your vids both old and new while I am doing all this hard work.
I love frezing the peppers and use them in salads, taco meat i cook, and my Ground turkey southwest Chipole meat i cook, i also freeze the bell peppers and oniions and through them in my Ground turkey mixture . Hot peppers i put in so many things, meat loaf, burgers, either ground beef or Ground Turkey. Thank you for validating freezing veggies, i love them so much. i do not have anything to take air out of baggies so i use freex=zer bags for them.
I just got one of those food choppers and I am loving it
I can’t believe how deep Boston’s voice is now!
I really appreciate these freezing tips, thank you 😊
Just a heads up, the longer you let corn sit after picking the more starch they develop. Freeze or process asap! Also, you can treat the squash seeds the same as pumpkin and roast them!!
I love freezing and preserving fruits and veg! I got lots of beans this summer which I blanched and froze. Corn on the cob sounds like a great idea!
Last year when I bought a bunch of sweet corn to freeze I cooked it in the oven and it turned out so good.
Save the squash seeds! Spread on cookie sheet dot with butter or margarine. Toast at 350 degrees for about10 to 20 minutes. Actually this for pumpkin seeds, but squash seeds work. It makes a great snack. Love your channel. Thinking of starting my own.
I just did SO many veggies pretty much the same way. With zip lock bags thank you for sharing
Wonderful!
I use jalapeños with my egg scramble. I chop up fresh tomato, chopped up onion, diced jalapeños and cilantro. I sauté until the veggies get soft and add eggs. Tastes so good with tortillas. I sprinkle some cotija cheese. Yum!
Never thought to use jalapeno in eggs 🤤
Thank you very much for your new joint from Algeria
I soften one package Cream Cheese, mix real Bacon Bits and Green Onion in the Cream Cheese. Wash and cut open the Jalapenos, take out the seeds. Stuff the Jalapenos with Cream Cheese filling. Take stem end of pepper and set it back on pepper to hold cheese in. Put in Zip Lock Bags, and stick in freezer.
Very easy to make. No measuring ingredients. Just eyeball it to your liking. When you want to eat them, set them out on plate for a short time. Eat them warm or cold.
I just cut the corn off the cob n vacuum seal it. Takes less space 💗
I didn't know you could freeze tomatoes...wow
This is the best video ever..your perfect in every way..so much help for me. IL be coming back. Keep up the awesome job, your a PRO 🎉❤😊...COLUMBIA, SC.
Awesome! Thank you!
Morning Kimmy! Oh that Food Saver is awesome!!! Love seeing it take all the air out ☺️. One of these days I’ll have to get one 😊. You can’t beat fresh vegetables from a farmer’s market 👍🏻. Lol, one thing you forgot to mention in the podcast interview was, what an awesome personality you have, and that’s one of the reasons people love your channel 😉. Along with all the other things you do and put into your channel, you yourself are awesome and everyone sees that 😉👍🏻. Love you and have a fantastic day!!!!! ❤️😘
Donna you are always the sweetest! Thank you so much.
I recently chopped up and diced 12 pounds of onions to freeze. Now I'm set for about 6 months worth of onions love it half hours work for months of food prep
Excellent video. We never froze veggies, but did can tons of fruits & veggies during the summer. During the wicked winters of Michigan, we really enjoyed the canned veggies & fruits.
Favorite use of Jalapenos...Papas a La Mexicana-Pan fry potato cubes in olive or coconut oil 'til crispy, add cubed onions, tomatoes, jalapenos 'til softened and 2 easy overs on the side with wheat tortillas, salt and pepper to taste, cayenne pepper if it needs a kick. Cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer and water on the side. Then walk the dobie.
I think I just described my Saturday mornings 8)...Thanks for the tips, I learned much. Thanks!
I tell ya, I think you’re a genius! I learn so much from you. Thank you for being such a great teacher.
I was so glad to hear we can freeze tomatoes and corn without blanching! Can we do that with cauliflower and broccoli too? Is there a list of foods we don't have to blanch? Thanks :)
Lol, my son helps me bag my veggies and he puts the tip of a straw in the bag and sucks the air out. I thought that he was joking at first when he suggested it, but it really works.lol😊🤗
I have a kitchen the size of a walk in closet so I can only keep out the things most important to me my food saver is one of those I repackage all my meat and cheeses and also veggies. Even some leftovers. Well worth the space it takes
I have always chopped my tomatoes! Will have to try freezing them whole! And now I want to get more corn on the cob! I cut it all off and then freeze, but corn on the cob in winter sounds really good!
Tomatoes corn looks really good to freeze
I would love to see more videos like this
Look around a Sams or Costco they have more form fitting gloves that are better for food prep and safe for food and light gross or painting tasks.Maybe try next time. Love your channel.
Thanks for the tip!
Hey Kimmy, just wanted to give you a tip for cleaning the peppers. Use the tip of a small spoon (like one used for cereal) and it will make it a LOT easier to clean. I like to start at the tip and just scrape down the vein and scoop it out with the seeds. Love your videos, thanks for all the wonderful content.
I know what you mean by the taste is so much different from the farmers markets! When we moved to North Dakota there was a local farmers market by our house every weekend that alot of people went to... & the CORN and tomatoes... WOW. I was literally blown away and enjoying it so much. It was almost like I was eating them for the first time ever
When I saw the teaser at the beginning and you had gloves and a mask on in your kitchen I thought you had lost it for good lol. But then I saw the peppers and it all made sense
That's so funny!
Those tomatoes are gorgeous! This was a very useful video. Easy freezing of vegies. Thanks!!
The squash seeds are yummy toasted. Soak in salt water for awhile so they separate from the stringy flesh. Let them dry and toast them in a pan. Great snack.
I like to add a little bit of milk, butter and sugar to my corn water, it makes it so yummy. I definitely need a food saver.
My wise friend I came back to put this video on my Facebook channel. My friends love viewing all your videos and I thank you..🐈.
Butternut squash makes great soup.
Another tip...after you take the corn out of the freezer with the husk on just soak them in warm water for a few minutes and the husk will come right off! Loved the video
Great idea!!
Jalapeños for pico de gallo, chili, blended in stews, guacamole, etc. Is very versatile 👌
Jalapeños in everything!!! 🌶🌶🌶
Girl 1st of all love you for tying your hair back. My pet peeve. 2nd. Yes I wear a mask when cutting these
Loved the idea Kimmy, I must invest in another freezer. xx
I didn't even know you could freeze tomatoes. Thanks for the tip
Thats a good idea for the corn!The only thing id have to make sure is that they were organic. Just a personal preference, I know that the bugs are very attracted to corn and most are treated heavily with pesticides so i don't think that id want to microwave with the husks any regular corn like from the grocery store. But i would definitely try it with an organic variety. My kids could even do it themselves for a snack.
I very very rarely blanch anything... unless it’s greens that won’t be used for some time.... I always freeze tomatoes whole.... works great!
Have you ever tried boiling your corn in a mix of water, milk, and butter? It's delicious!!! Of you haven't, you should definitely try it!
Thanks!
I do this, with a little sugar...LOVE IT
I am 61& have never done it with milk, butter, sugar & stuff before! How interesting! I’m in Iowa, so I have access to an abundance of corn. This year has been great for the corn!(last year not so much) I freeze alot of corn every year to tryyy to last us till nxt season😉. Thanks for the tip!
Yesss that is the only way I boil mine!
THIS!!! Its fantastic! Can't ever go back
My Dad loves making bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños!
Thank you for showing us how to freeze food I love your videos stay blessed
I use a melon baller to scrape the seeds out of the Jalapeno Peppers! It's the perfect size to dig into the skin and scrape out the rib and seeds without disturbing the rest of the pepper especially if you want to stuff it. Even if you're just going to chop them up, the melon baller is the best tool for this by far...
A spoon is also okay to use as well but they tend to be bigger so go with the melon baller if you can!
Honestly I have not a clue how to freeze vegetables. I have to learn from all of you. I'm just the student here.
I am new at this and yesterday I was thinking maybe I can freeze the vegetables because they are being wasted..I just can’t eat them fast enough
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. We buy the jalapenos in a can. Have a blessed day Kimmy and Fam💗
Our way here in Texas we make jalapeños. Stuff with Cream cheese, popcorn shrimp and whatever seasoning you like and wrap them in bacon. Cook on the grill. We leave them on till they start getting kinda dark, but not burnt. Yum~my! 👍🏻❤️
Brilliant idea to use your food chopper to do the jalapenos. I have one of those and I never even thought to use it for the peppers and I make salsa all the time.. thank you!
I just like watching you get excited about food. 🍅🌽🌶
Jalapeños seedless, stuffed with cream cheese, and wrapped in bacon! Bake in the oven or grill. Favorite BBQ south texas side dish with Fajita.
This was so helpful! You have taught me several new things. Thank you for doing the research, and for sharing your knowledge.
if your getting heirloom veggies you can dry the seeds and grow your own.
I'm shook! As the young kids say 😂
Yes! Great idea, heirloom seeds are expensive
Another great video as always!! Have you ever thought of dehydrating some of your fresh veggies? I have really gotten into it this year and oh my word, so good. Taste like you just picked them. Makes a quick meal for us busy Moms for soups, stews and casseroles. Also saves a lot of freezer space.
Keep the wonderful videos coming. 💗
Yes. We do have a dehydrator. I need to start using it again. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have wondered about this, and this nagging question keeps popping into my head because no one ever explains it. Probably is the simplest answer, but once you have your vegetables (however many it took) to fill a jar, how do you go about judging how much to pull out to go into a meal....or as a meal? So thankful for any tips you may have.....or anyone else reading out there!
I hope I am wrong in your case but I learned the hard way that these come May from the same place the grocery store gets them unless it’s a mom and pops stand typically in their own yard. Maybe grow container veggies. They buy wholesale and sale at a high price as “ organic” or out of the garden.
You can stuff jalapeno's with cream cheese and bake them up in the oven for a popper type treat! Some people will bread them as well and you can fry them in a deep fryer, so good!!
Yes we live doing that... wrapped em in bacon and smoke them on the pit too..... soooo good!
Butternut squash- boil until fork tender, mash like mashed potatoes, rough with small lumps. Add butter and some sugar, couple teaspoons or to taste (my mom used sugar substitute-she was diabetic). salt and pepper to taste. Delicious!
So exciting. Can't wait to do some 🌽 corn! Thanks
Stuff jalapeños with cream cheese, wrap in bacon put in slow cooker & add a bottle of sweet baby Ray’s bbq sauce ... yummy !!!!
I never knew you could freeze whole tomatoes or several of the other veggies you froze. Good to know! I have a couple dozen tomatoes from my garden that I need to do something with.
Hi you can dice carrots sweet peppers an herbs to freeze...also you can dry your herbs in the microwave on paper towels or the oven on low then store in jar it keeps its color an taste
Hello I do tomato sauce. In a 9x13 pan i put fresh tomatoes,onion,garlic,fresh basil,salt,sugar,oil. Bake in 450 oven for 1 hr.
Put in blender puree. Can be used or frozen or canned.
Thanks for sharing
When your de-seeding your jalapenos use a teaspoon to scrape the seeds and membrane out, much easier then using your fingertips. Thank you for this video I had no idea you could freeze whole tomatoes like that.
Wow it's looks so good! It's like what you'd get from a store, only better. I'm in rural Pennsylvania. I need to find me a roadside veggie stand!💜
Great video has always ❤❤ Sometimes people forget how they put up food back in the old days. Now people want to follow guidelines what not.
Awesome video Kimmy!!! Ive been doing the same with fresh veggies. I found an amazing recipe on recipe for corn in the instant pot. Its a family favorite.
6-8 Ears of corn, peeled, cut in half
4 cups water
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 Tbsp. Butter
Place trivet in the pot
Add all ingredients. Set to seal.
Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Then a quick release.
Omg....I love that tea cup apron!
Jalopenoes are delicious in burritos, salsa, omelets, and skillet breakfasts.
I am definitely going to try the corn! Thank you for all the tips on freezing veggies! ❤️
We love the forged and fire knife 🙂 seriously the best knives
Your local farmers market sounds amazing! Thanks for the tips to save the produce ❤️ I heard you on the Erika Veiera channel yesterday, so great! I love seeing your huge success!
I make jalapeno poppers. Flash freeze and store in have in the freezer. Then bake off in the air fryer. Once frozen, line the freezer bags with paper towels. This way the toothpicks don't go through the bag as easy.
Yummy! They don't come out soggy?
When boiling corn add a bit of sugar for sweetness and a splash of lemon juice brings out the pretty yellow color. Never add salt to the water as it makes the corn tough.
I like to make cowboy candy. its real good to put in stuff and the brine syrup is real good to put sauces and scrambled eggs and soups.
Great idea to use the food saver to help freeze farm stand vegetables and butternut squash. 🍅 🌽
