Sam’s Club Veggie Prep Secrets

Cold Veggie Pizza Lunch – A Favorite Quick Meal
One of my favorite ways to use all those fresh veggies? A cold veggie pizza. Today, I crisped up leftover naan bread, spread on my homemade veggie cream cheese (just cream cheese with a little ranch seasoning and finely chopped veggies), and topped it with my cold veggie crumble mix: broccoli, cauliflower, sweet peppers, green peppers, and carrots—very finely diced. So fresh, colorful, and satisfying. It made the perfect lunch!

What I Usually Grab from Sam’s Club

• A bag of fresh broccoli

• A head of cauliflower

• Sweet peppers and green bell peppers

• Baby carrots

• Baby romaine (so much better than the big heads!)

• Coleslaw mix (sometimes two!)

• A bag of Brussels sprouts or asparagus (when they’re not too expensive)

• Big baking potatoes and little potatoes

• Vidalia onions

As soon as I get home, I try to prep everything on Day One.

1. Veggie Dip Platter
I always make a vegetable platter with a yogurt-ranch dip and keep it on the table at every meal. One of our newest favorite additions is pieces of baby romaine—cut into scoop-sized chunks. They’re crisp, refreshing, and perfect for dipping. Everyone digs in—it’s a total Mom win!

---

2. Chopped Coleslaw & Egg Roll Mix
I like to chop the coleslaw mix even smaller, into a fine dice, because we like the texture better that way. I also set some aside and mix in diced mushrooms to use for egg roll bowls or homemade egg rolls.

3. Prepped Onions for Easy Cooking
I dice two onions three ways: medium dice, small dice, and slices. This gives me easy grab-and-go options for whatever I’m cooking that day.

4. Homemade Veggie Cream Cheese Spread
Using finely chopped broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and sweet peppers, I mix in ranch seasoning and cream cheese to make my own veggie spread. It’s creamy, flavorful, and packed with crunch from the veggies. I love using it on wraps, toast, or as a dip for crackers or fresh veggies—but my absolute favorite is spreading it on a warm sourdough bagel, especially the ones I make myself. Total comfort food!

5. Veggie Crumble Mix for Meals
I finely chop broccoli and cauliflower into a crumble and use it in rice dishes, omelets, or as a base for cold veggie pizza. It’s super versatile and adds nutrients to almost anything.

6. Cold Veggie Pizza Topping Mix
This is my go-to mix: broccoli, cauliflower, sweet peppers, green bell peppers, and carrots—all diced very small. It adds crunch and flavor to veggie pizzas, wraps, or sprinkled over salads.

7. Potato (and Veggie!) Prep – So Many Options!
With the little potatoes, I love cutting them in half and laying them cut-side down on a pan dusted with Parmesan—then bake or air fry until crisp. They're also great cubed and air-fried for quick sides.

Brussels sprouts and asparagus can be prepped the same way! Halve the Brussels or trim the asparagus, toss with a little oil and lay them on Parmesan just like the potatoes. Bake or air fry for a golden, cheesy crust and a savory bite that’s hard to resist.

For the big baking potatoes, I bake a batch and either make twice-baked potatoes or scoop out the centers in bite-sized chunks to make a baked potato salad later.

I save the skins (leaving about ¼ to ½ inch of potato on them), cut them into thirds, and bake them with bacon and cheese. Serve with sour cream, and you’ve got homemade loaded potato skins! I also flash-freeze any extra skins to pull out and bake another day.

Nothing Goes to Waste
I’m proud to say I throw almost nothing away. What I can’t use right away, I freeze. I save veggie scraps for broth—especially when I have a chicken carcass to add in. With prices what they are these days, the little extra effort really pays off for my family.
