I cook almost every night. Since I'm always cooking, I like to make it easy on myself from time to time. I'm not too big on most convenience foods, but some of them have become staples in our house. One such staple are the frozen bags of veggies you can microwave in their bag, like Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers. It really doesn't get any easier than grabbing a bag from the freezer, throwing it in the microwave, and having a great veggie side dish in about five minutes.
The latest additions to the Valley Fresh Steamers line are vegetables with pasta! The two varieties are Macaroni and Cheese Sauce with Broccoli (classic elbow pasta and broccoli in a cheese sauce) and Pasta and Vegetables with Alfredo Sauce (corkscrew pasta with carrots and broccoli in a savory Alfredo sauce). We tried the macaroni and cheese flavor, and it was really tasty! The pasta was the perfect texture and the cheese sauce was in nice proportion to the broccoli. I think it would also make a great lunch if you were pressed for time!
Keep up with Green Giant on their website or Facebook page.

I guess I'm pretty lucky...my daughter ADORES veggies so the only thing I have to add (on occasion) is a little butter and/or salt. Most of the time, she likes them just the way they are. For spinach, however, we add a little butter and vinegar...mmmmm! Good!

Well, the same as most in our house, add butter or cheese. Usually gets the kids to eat them anyway.

I don't usually add anything to them but it really depends on what it is.
I like butter and sometimes a little seasoned salt.
