Quick Veggies!

If you know me, you know I keep a very disciplined diet. I totally avoid fatty foods, and am the epitome of good health.

In all honesty, eating healthy can be a challenge. Aggravating this is that quick food tends to be unhealthy or not tasty. The fine folks at Birds Eye, have come up with a solution.

The answer is the Steamfresh frozen vegetable bag. These bags come in 10 different varieties, require no thawing, pop into the microwave, cook vegetables excellently, in under 5 minutes. Two other lines, "Specialty Seasoned" and "Premium Selects" are also available in the Steamfresh packaging.

The bags cost slightly more than a regular bag of veggies and are available in the frozen vegetable section of your local market. ("Ben" prefers to undercook his Steamfresh veggies so as to keep the veggies crispy and not soggy, cooking time will depend on each individual microwave)

Hmm. Was that you sitting next to me at the Nats game eating nachos and beer?

I thought so. ;)

In total agreement. delish. EXCEPT when you're like me living in ghettoville, your microwave breaks and a new one isn't appearing on the horizon, and the only way recommended to cook these in my freezer is via microwave.
there's also another brand besides Bird's Eye doing this steam method.
