Easy-Peasy, that’s what this dish is all about. Great for a busy weeknight side dish. Add your favorite protein for a main course. Anyway is great. Enjoy!
I find during the weekdays, I need all the help I can get with quick and healthy meals for my family. Side dishes are just as important as the main course. I rely on the frozen veggies in the steam bags. The ingredients are just vegetables, no sauces or seasonings. Better to add your own, this way you know exactly what’s in your dish. Here’s one of my quick and healthy veggie throw together side dishes my kids love. They especially like when the veggies are charred, so that’s how I make them. Try for yourself and taste how wonderful simple ingredients can be delicious.
