Frozen veggie ideas?
-
Anyone have good ways to include frozen veggies in meals? It's a budget-wise thing of mine -- frozen is so much cheaper. But apart from adding them to pasta sauces, what are some other good ways to use them?Flag as inappropriate Posted by Diane on 26th August 2008 -
I try to save frozen for the winter months, when fresh is even more expensive... I find they work fine in soups (I use frozen peas as mini nutritious "ice cubes" to cool down soups and stews or even stir-fries, anywhere where you can hide the mush texture. Some veggies, though, like broccoli and carrots, I can't choke down frozen. Others, like corn and peas, are frozen staples around here...Flag as inappropriate Posted by Lylah M.

We usually serve them just as they are packaged (after boiling of course). But another idea is to stir-fry selected veggies with eggs and a bit of onion, and serve with toast. Easy, healthy, quick, cheap, and it's tastier than it sounds!Flag as inappropriate Posted by SKL on 26th August 2008

I really like both of those ideas. I too can't do frozen broccoli though I've tried a few times. Has anyone tried frozen asparagus? I've been to scared to give it a whirl.Flag as inappropriate Posted by mamajama on 27th August 2008
