Are we talking about frozen veggies, or frozen, chopped aromatics (aka seasoning blend, a mix of chopped onions, bell pepper, etc)? I loathe the pre-chopped frozen seasoning blend, but I use the hell outta frozen veg.

Skinny green beans (haricot verts), frozen baby limas, supersweet corn, various brands of "stir fry blend", purplehull peas, chopped spinach, and tiny green peas all have a permanent place in my freezer.

Well, both I guess. The latter, more for freshness sake. Often I'll buy fresh vegetables, only to have plans change during the week and then they sit in the fridge too long. I now get frozen green beans, asparagus, cut spinach, broccoli, and peas.

But yeah I was asking about the seasoning blends or just plain old frozen chopped onions or carrots, for use as a mirepoix, to save time on chopping.

This is how I view it. I wouldn't use any precut items that are intended to flavor a dish. No shortcuts there.

I do use frozen veggies for my sides.
