Purchase baby vegetables from store (Prepacked and prewashed…for convenience). Carrots, zucchini and string beans work really well. Blanch each bag of vegetables separately for about 1-2 minutes (zucchini may take 3 depending on thickness). Drain and plunge vegetables into an ice water bath to halt cooking. Remove with slotted spoon onto paper towel and blot dry. Wrap each batch individually in a dry paper towel and place in refrigerator. These will last four days in your refrigerator.
Reheat in skillet or microwave.
