Smaller portions and I already feel slimmer.

After just a few days of dieting, my efforts seem to start to pay off. I have been having smaller portions of carbs and have replaced them with more salad and fruit. Fortunatly this is the time of the year when I can buy many different veggies and fruit for a reasonable price as we are in Summer in my country. I have not eaten pasta or potatoes and today I will cook a stuffed sweet pepper over tomato sauce. I stuff it with a mixture of rice (just a little), ground meat and finelly cut onions (I will not fry them in oil this time, wish me luck). For snacks, I´m having some just made fruit juice with no sugar. I want to freeze some of this Summer bounty for Winter and yesterday, when I went to the farmers market, I bought green beans, eggplants, zuchinni among other delicious veggies. I have frozen green beans and they have no problem. But I´m worrying about eggplants and zuchinni. Should I freeze an already cooked dish made with them?

I would suggest to freeze cooked meals with eggplants, you can freeze raw zucchini, sliced

I think so. Still I will not step up the scale for a couple of weeks.

I've only frozen eggplant already made in dishes so I don't know if it freezes well without being prepared first. Sounds like you're doing very well on your diet and wish you continued success

maybe better to put them on the vegetable section of your ref?
