Yeah the texture difference makes sense. Most recently I did a smothered chicken where I didn't really need a carmelization.....

I usually go home for lunch - I just need to remember to take care of my chopping then.

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.

Chopping goes pretty quickly unless you're making large quantities. I think the frozen veggies are fine to keep in the freezer when the texture isn't going to be an issue. Sometimes, I chop some things during the weekend that I know I'm going to need during the week. I pretty much always have a bag of chopped green onions in the fridge since I have the bad addiction for them!

I've seen most Albertson's have freshly chopped veggies in the veggie department. I've bought those before to save me time.
