It's often said that frozen peas taste as good as (and are as healthy as) the fresh variety. Are there any other tasty frozen veggies out there? I really need to increase my veg consumption and the 'fresh' stuff I buy at the weekends has usually gone off by the latter half of the week. Sorry in advance for such a mundane question, but I reckon there must be some other time-constrained mums out there who have reliable freezer fallbacks.

I like waitrose grilled mixed vegetables - good to toss into pasta sauce for a bit of a veg boost when I don't feel like cooking.

Sweetcorn and chopped spinach are also staples in my freezer - chopped spinach can go in just about any sauce or on its own, frozen sweetcorn is far nicer frozen than tinned, though it's hard to beat fresh at this time of year.

Hi uptime! Hope you're ok.


We have in our freezer as staples frozen peas, frozen sweet corn (only just discovered this) and a bag of mixed chipped veg from sainos which is surprisingly nice. I only really use them for E's dinner as they microwave in about 90seconds so v handy. Also have frozen chopped spinach which is really handy to throw into pasta. I also use that sometimes to make creamed spinach for us.


Apparently waitrose do a nice rice and mixed veg which is handy for dinner in a rush for the kids with goujons etc.

yeah, agree about frozen broad beans. also frozen corn on the cob.

also slightly off topic but am a recent convert to frozen bags of rice you can pop in the microwave...

And jamie oliver frozen fishcakes are great - maybe bit small for adults unless you have 3, but good size for the kids. sorry I know these aren't veg!

oh - frozen berries good too - my son likes eating frozen strawberries for some reason.

Broad beans, sweetcorn, edamame and artichoke bottoms in our freezer (in addition to peas of course!). Also tend to freeze left over pulses when I've only used part of a tin so they get added into meals too.


When Baby Knomester was little I also used to make batches of sweet potato wedges and freeze those so they were ready to eat. Same with any veg really - I'd cook extra when we were having it and pop into bags in the freezer (good way to make sure veg isn't wasted too).


Not been able to order edamame from Ocado recently for some reason - always out of stock - but they sell them in SMBS on Lordship Lane.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
