The peppers, onions and chard can all be cut and stored airtight in the refrigerator.
Potatoes should be submerged in cold water before refrigerating to prevent oxidation (aka browning).
Drain and rinse them before using.

I love eggsare they OK to eat when you have diabetes?
you might absolutely enjoy eggs when you have diabetes.
Can I make scrambled or poached eggs instead?
If you choose to scramble them, you’re free to use the same skillet.
Add a little olive oil, then proceed with scrambling the eggs.
Poached eggs are delicious, too.
To poach eggs, Place 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp.
vinegar in a microwave-safe small bowl.
Carefully crack 1 egg into the water so it is completely submerged.
(If necessary, continue to microwave, checking every 10 seconds.)
Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and pat dry before serving.
Repeat the process with any remaining eggs.
Having diabetes doesn’t mean you have to give up all of your favorite foods.
You just need the know-how (and easy cooking tips) to make better choices.
Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Pour off all but 2 teaspoons of the bacon fat.
Return the pan to medium heat.
Add potatoes and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Add water; cover and steam for 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Stir in chard and garlic; cook until the chard is tender and wilted, about 2 minutes more.
Crumble the bacon and stir into the mixture.
Spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
Using the back of a wooden spoon, make 4 indentations.
Crack 1 egg into each indentation (see Tip).
Season with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
