I am a rotten cook, and I never used to make vegetables for poor Captain Jelly Belly, who now hates them and I’m sure he’ll soon develop scurvy or rickets or maybe both. But I’m rocking the vegetable world for Gal Smiley, because I’ve discovered frozen vegetables. They’re so easy! Just open the package (most of the ones I buy are ziploc), dump some in a pot with a little water, and steam for 4 minutes. Done!
Now that our freezer is stocked with clean, pre-cut, pre-portioned broccoli, cauliflour, baby carrots, baby peas, mixed green beans, full-kernel corn, baby corn, and chunks of squash, I find I rarely have any veggies to buy in the “fresh” area anymore. It’s so fabulous to have an array of awesome veggies at your fingertips at any time — they don’t go bad, they don’t require preparation, and they can be imported from all over the globe so you always get the super-yummy stuff.
I can’t believe it took me so long to figure this out. Now all we need is a bigger freezer!

And don’t forget that frozen vegetables are just as good for you as fresh vegetables, so long as you steam them or microwave them. So it’s not like you’re cheating or anything.
I used to hate frozen veggies because they never seemed to have the full flavour of the fresh stuff. I don’t think that’s true anymore (that’s adult tastebuds for ya). The fresh stuff takes way too long to clean and cut, which I never do, so it gets thrown out anyway. And I agree there’s lots of variety in frozen veggies, so you’re not stuck to peas and corn like I used to think you had to be.
For a treat, I like to buy some of the veggies that comes with sauces. You can buy frozen broccoli with cheese sauce (both are frozen, so you just dump the bag contents into a pot or microwave container, cook, and voila, instant cheese sauce). We sometimes also buy a pasta-and-veggie combination which comes with a light sauce and it’s pretty nice, too.
Make sure to grab some frozen asparagus for . I hear he loves the stuff!
Evil! Pure evil!
