Such A Little Thing!

ECBG — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 01:17:16 GMT

...yet SO great!

I ran across Bird's Eye Steam Fresh frozen veggies (blue pouch). I loved their very small Brussels sprouts to roast, 400 degrees after spraying with olive oil and turning after 10 minutes, total 20 min.

I had dental surgery today and as a soft veggie, I got some of their peas with mushrooms in a garlic sauce. Really, really good! This line is an area I will now always visit!!! I love veggies but rarely buy rice mixed in.

Thanks for the recommendation. Seems I am so set in my ways I forget about trying “new” things but I will pick these up.

@Spacrazy Years ago, I only bought LeSeur peas. The others were big and starchy! I love these!!! (Even DH, whom hates peas) liked them!!!

I LOVE these veggies!! So easy to prepare and so many different varieties.

Also..try the Green Giant Steam Fresh Vegetables. They're terrific too, especially the honey carrots 🥕.

I have been using these for a long time. My DH requires 3 small meals daily (lots of greens and veggies). It is a lot of cooking 3 meals, preparing 3 snacks per day, doing all the personal care (including bathing, treating wounds), weighing twice daily, doing vital signs 2-3 times daily, measuring glucose 5 times daily, giving injections, dressing him, shaving and doing his hair not to mention cooking. These are easy, nutritious and good. I am glad you found them.

My husband said he'd like to try Brussel Sprouts. Thanks for the picture.

@Nonametoday I can see why any short cut would be helpful. You sound like an excellent caregiver.

@ECBG ~ Do you steam (brussel sprouts) first, before roasting in oven? Thank you!

@AKgirl2 I put a piece of aluminum foil on a bake sheet with sides. Spray with olive oil. Put on the Brussels sprouts and spray the top side.

Put on a 400 degree oven cook 20 minutes turning in the middle.

They're much sweeter than boiled!

@ECBG ~ So, no steaming in bag first. You place frozen brussels

onto lined, and sprayed baking sheet, bake for 20 min., turning halfway?

@AKgirl2 Correct.

@ECBG ~ Thank You so much! I love brussel sprouts, I bet these are tastier than roasting them the conventional way, (meaning from fresh.) Although, I think the ones in the steam bag are fresh, as in uncooked?

ECBG — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:28:31 GMT

@AKgirl2 I don't know which would be better. These are very small which adds to sweetness. Flavor would definitely be a judgment call.
