Your turn: What are your favorite ways to use pineapple?
Produce
Russet Potatoes. $0.14 per pound (sold in 10-pound bag for $1.39). I have said many times that I often buy potatoes in bulk. I make a huge batch of mashed potatoes, then freeze them in meal-sized portions for a quick side dish on a night when I don’t want to cook.
Onions. $0.17 per pound (sold in 3-pound bag for $0.49). This is a rock bottom price. If you use a lot of chopped onions when you cook consider this. Buy a couple bags, dice the onions, spread them out on a cookie sheet, freeze them , and then transfer the frozen onions into a Ziploc for storage. They’re quick to add into scrambled eggs, soups, casseroles and crock pot recipes and you will have gotten them at a stellar price.
Navel Oranges. $0.37/lb (sold in 4-pound bag for $1.49). This is a rock bottom price and if you eat a lot of oranges or recipes for using them up, then this is stock up time!
Pineapple. $1.49 each. These are good sized pineapples. I bought one a few weeks ago and made some delicious pineapple chicken.
Do you freeze your mashed potatoes already made? For example, I use butter and milk. Would you freeze them like that? I have been wanting to buy a lot of potatoes and freeze them but wasnt sure how they would freeze.
Thanks

Mandy – Yes, I make and mash them just like you would to serve them on the table, then freeze them. I try to make them a little thicker than normal so that I can add some liquid to them when I thaw them out without them getting too runny. Works fine for me.
