Aside from the minivan - my all-time favorite invention – these bags of steamer vegetables are a lifesaver.

I’ve even served them to unknowing company who oohed and aahed over my great blanching technique until I had to come clean.

I have the worst poker face.

Our freezer is full of them and when I need a veggie for dinner, I send the eldest adorable in to pick whatever he wants.  He loves the choice and I love that whatever he picks will take exactly five minutes in the microwave.  Could it be more easy?

I’m just so grateful these were invented.  I was so tired of throwing away green beans and broccoli that I discovered long forgotten at the bottom of the fridge.

P.S. the generic store brands are just as good…

So continue about your day.  And make it a happy one!

(And you are welcome to laugh at me anytime.  Really.)
