Baggers do not know how to treat cilantro. If it gets bruised it goes badly much more quickly. Once home I store it on the top shelf where it's least likely to be shuffled about. I keep it in the produce sack - twisting it shut first. :)Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372989179168210708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22647327.post-71596444356061340842011-10-17T14:28:56.171-05:002011-10-17T14:28:56.171-05:00Thanks, Angi!

I've already printed all of your recipes so far and can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve. :)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399564334516630010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22647327.post-79678923944181478602011-10-17T14:12:05.733-05:002011-10-17T14:12:05.733-05:00I apologize for the delayed response, Monica ~ it ...I apologize for the delayed response, Monica ~ it has been a very busy 36 hours. <br /><br />Yes, the spices in the recipe are ADDITIONAL. The chili sauce for pintos, while the same, are to steep the beans in flavor. The spices added to the entire set of ingredients is to bring about chili in it's fullness. :) This recipe is just a springboard as well. Feel free to tweak and add as you might enjoy. The base, though, is FANTASTIC. :)<br /><br />Yes, all F & V for two weeks. I use the bins in the fridge to their capacity. When items are wrapped in plastic, chilled, and shut in the bin, it adds to the life, somehow. Honestly, the only item I ever struggle with is cilantro. I have to use that up quickly, or suffer the sliminess of not. LOL<br /><br />I have chilled bananas before, but for some reason, when they are in the fridge, I use them less? A strange phenom. At any rate, the chill factor seems to keep all well for a two week period. Some lasts even longer, such as cabbage. I can get three weeks out of peppers/broccoli, etc sometimes.<br /><br />Thank you for letting me know it is helpful. I have many more recipes up my sleeve, as the month goes on, I'll add to what you've already received. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265615183804178890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22647327.post-52937525321992387342011-10-16T11:46:19.152-05:002011-10-16T11:46:19.152-05:00I am absolutely LOVING this series, Angie! I do h...I am absolutely LOVING this series, Angie! I do have a few questions that I've been wanting to ask:<br /><br />1) When you make your chili, the spices in the chili recipe are in addition to the spices added when making the chili beans earlier in the week?<br /><br />2) Do you buy all of your fruits and veggies at once for the two week period? How do you keep them so they stay fresh for that length of time?<br /><br />I also shop for two weeks at a time, and I'm excited that this week will be another shopping trip - i.e. I can't wait to incorporate some of your ideas/techniques. I've been wanting to do more with beans/legumes, however I just never knew how to prepare them with variety. So, THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time share share all of this with all of us!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399564334516630010noreply@blogger.com
