Oh how strange...I just pm'd you about butternut squash and carrot stew!
Yes you can cut up squash into cubes or something and store it in freezer bags in the freezer. I do it in 'portion-sized' bagfuls. It should freeze just fine without being par-cooked, as I know sliced carrots do. But par-cooking means when you come to use it you will have a quicker meal.
Carrots are usually cheap here. Organic cost more. But I had an online grocery order the other day, and I bought 4 carrots for 35p! Now those carrots, when they arrived shocked me....they were the most humongous carrots I have ever seen! Each about 10" long and about 2" thick! They are not organic and don't have superb flavour, but they are okay in stews, with other tasty ingredients.
The tastiest carrots are usually those which are sold with all the green leaves on top. But they are more expensive. I cut off the leaves and put them in the field for the deer or rabbits.
