I Found the Most Delicious Frozen Veggies Today

I don't grocery shop very often, so they may have been around a long time, but today was the first time I saw this Caribbean Blend of frozen veggies.

At first I thought the yellow was squash, but it's not. Guess what it is?

Yellow Carrots! I liked that because it was different than the usual orange color. I just boiled these until crisp tender and tossed them in butter, salt and pepper...YUM! This blend has green beans, yellow carrots, broccoli, and red pepper. It would be great for a stir fry.

Since it's getting close to St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd make some green cookies. I wasn't in the mood to work hard enough to make cut out shamrock sugar cookies, so I bought a bag of all green M & M's and tossed them into some oatmeal cookies.
They turned out very good. It's just the recipe on the Quaker Oats box with M & M's thrown in. With 3 cups of oatmeal, I think they can be considered "health food", don't you? LOL.

As I write this, I am watching Paula Dean's talk show. One of the guests is a large man who has sweat dripping down his face. I must have a very weak stomach, because seeing someone cook with sweat droplets almost makes me lose it. I keep imagining a big "plop" as the sweat drop drips into the saucepan. GROSS! I will leave you with that pleasant thought... :)

  1. Yum-o! I thought for sure that you were going to say the veggies had mango or coconut in them. : ) I haven't seen them, but I bet Trader Joe's has something similar.
    I agree-sweat dripping and cooking don't mix well. I wonder if Mario on Iron Chef may have that problem. My Bri has a sweating problem in the summer and I can't get near him after he cuts the grass or does something strenous-he soaks his t-shirt!

  4. What? You don't go grocery shopping very often? Does someone do it for you or do you just buy in bulk infrequently?

    Regardless, the cookies look delicious and I agree, they are health food. Plus I agree that cooks who sweat and the sweat is dripping should not be cooking. That is gross.

  6. dianne, Mango and coconut...that's a thought! Someone will probably make a mint off that idea.

    Carol,
    DH usually does the shopping. I do it every now and then, but mainly he does. And he does a FINE job of it.

    Betty,those cookies are really very, very good! They seem better than normal. It must be those green M&M's!

  7. I'm glad I read your post because at first glance, I thought they were hamburgers with m&m's in them! LOL!

  8. I know a kid who would probably eat hamburgers if they had M & M's in them, but maybe not the green ones... that might look too much like a vegetable for her.

    I haven't baked in awhile Zooey and may steal this idea from you - thanks!
