Planning ahead....chopped peppers for the freezer



I ended up with 10 cups of yellow and 14 cups of red when it was all said and done.  I cook from scratch a lot.  Actually, everything is 100% homemade these days (most boxed/prepared foods contain gluten).  Anyway, buying veggies when I see them on sale for super price saves me money, but MAN the time put into these little peppers make me question my actions.  I'm not going to complain.  I have peppers in the freezer.  That's all that matters.

I need to find a new way to freeze stuff.  I'm trying diligently to not use plastic baggies.  I have some awesome beeswax coated paper bags, foil, and BPA free containers for the fridge, but no good solution for freezing.  If you know of a good way to freeze this type of stuff (as compact as possible)...please let me know.

Those peppers look beautiful! I too would love to know how to freeze veggies, peppers and onions specifically, without plastic baggies. I freeze a lot of garden tomatoes in plastic bags to, but fear the only way around that would be to go back to canning. Have all the equipment, but just don't know about putting all that time into it. Guess it's worth it though.

I too would LOVE alternatives to plastic for the fridge.

I freeze a lot of things. I don't have plastic wrap or baggies in my house. I use a lot of plastic containers though. But they are reusable and they stack nice.
