Jazzing Your Veggies

The newest thing on the market are the "steam in the bag" frozen vegetables. They're great when you need a quick fix! But they lack something ... flavor! Here's how I jazz them up!!


Green Beans - while the vegetables are steaming heat a teaspoon of butter and a table spoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add one "smashed" garlic clove. Saute until the beans are done. Add the green beans and saute until the water is evaporated.

Corn - melt 2 teaspoons of butter in a bowl in the microwave. Add a good dash of dried basil and a pinch of pepper. Mix with a spoon and let this sit and warm with the corn is cooking. Mix in the corn when it finished.

Broccoli - melt 2 teaspoons of butter in the microwave. Add a dash of garlic powder and mix to combine. Set aside while the broccoli cooks. Toss the broccoli and butter together and sprinkle with cheese.

These are just a few ideas, but certainly not the only ones!
