They...Don't EVER be ashamed of frozen veggies! They are every.single.bit. as good as fresh! The rule of thumb is that the more heat applied to the product, the fewer nutrients it retains (vitamins tend to break down in high heat) and canned veggies or veggies in frozen dinners are the worst because they're subjected to absurdly high temps to sanitize them for canning or jarring. Frozen veggies are frozen fresh and immediately. They're fine! That's generally what we use - corn, peas, green beans, spinach, brussels sprouts, etc. I use fresh carrots and onions and lettuce and tomatoes and other salad stuff, but frozen is awesome - don't ever be ashamed!<br /><br />And if you EVER need help with meal ideas, I am queen of quick, frugal, nutritious meals... clearly ;o)<br /><br />Love that you're participating and congrats to Jon! Kevin just told us about his new gig like two days ago and Justin's dying to talk to him about it!Melishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790673507263670984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836010131984846865.post-77514710884702945742011-04-18T11:01:39.135-04:002011-04-18T11:01:39.135-04:00Thanks for stopping by- your menu looks delicious...Thanks for stopping by- your menu looks delicious, the kinds of meals we enjoy- easy and delicious. We also use a ton of frozen veggies, bought on sale, although in the summer I will admit to sponging off my brother-in-law who has a wonderful garden.<br /><br />Congrats to John on the job- it should help making plans immensely to have regular hours. Ken worked shift work til he was medically retired, 3pm-3am so I know how rough crazy hours can be. He's still adjusting to "real people time" lol.<br /><br />This is the first week in a very long time we haven't done a breakfast for dinner- I can't eat in the mornings without getting sick but I love the foods, so most weeks we have at least one bfd.<br /><br />Can't wait til you post the crockpot recipe- pizza, pasta, easy- what's not to love?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692065924209100610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836010131984846865.post-72808766381130735962011-04-18T10:48:19.158-04:002011-04-18T10:48:19.158-04:00Welcome to MPM!
