It's winter and fresh foods are not easy to get. I have recently re-discovered the joys of frozen fruits and vegetables, here are a few quickies I've done recently:
Frozen mixed vegetables: microwave for 3 minutes, serve with smart balance (butter) and dash of salt as a side dish or with teriyaki chicken aka stir fry. You can get a bag of frozen mixed veggies at the store for $1.50 that will last you several days.
Frozen fruit: smoothie, top yogurt, or for a quick dessert treat microwave with oatmeal and dash of brown sugar and smart balance on top for a quick crumble.
Soup: mix tomato soup with V8 and warm, top with spinach leaves and some cheese for hearty soup.
Ham! A small pre-cooked ham can be used for sandwiches or as part of several other meals including breakfast.
Snacks: Microwave sliced apple with a dash of cinnamon (add oatmeal for crumble if you like), apple sauce is also a great snack. I've been making banana bread or blueberry muffins on the weekend and snacking all week on them.
Processed foods: Kraft Easy Mac, microwave oatmeal, and sun chips save me frequently
What are your winter foods tips???
