People always ask me how do I get my three kids to eat so healthy. Being a busy but health-conscious mom, I always want to prepare meals using the best possible ingredients. I love using frozen foods in cooking because frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at the peak of ripeness and flash frozen, locking in beneficial nutrients. Frozen foods work great (and are budget-friendly) in many recipes such as in this one: Shrimp-Vegetable Quinoa Fried Rice. It’s a healthy, gluten-free main dish that is a twist on fried rice. It’s a favorite at our house, and it’s so quick and easy.
I am so pleased to announce that this year marks the 30th Annual National Frozen Food Month. In honor of this, the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association is offering a few cool sweepstakes this month! Also, I am offering a $150 Visa Gift card. To enter my giveaway, leave a comment telling me your favorite way to use frozen foods in cooking. The winner will be drawn on Wednesday, March 27th at 8 a.m central.

My favorite way to use frozen foods is in a great cobbler recipe I have that uses frozen peaches and blueberries… Although I have used frozen vegetables in risotto with great success as well… Yum !…

So funny… I’ve been doing a quinoa and shrimp fried rice recently that has totally been rockin’ my world. This looks even healthier than mine though… so, it probably wouldn’t hurt to give it a try over my recipe. 🙂 Oh… and yay for the giveaway!

I watched the Farm to Fork video and learned about the journey of ‘bean’
Followed AND liked. I live in Chicago, so I use frozen vegetables to make meals that are still healthy, but don’t take quite as long with food prep. I also use frozen fruit in smoothies and other breakfast items.

I love the convenience of frozen veggies. Always ready when I need extra veggies for soups and side dishes. I especially love frozen peas. Yum!
I like to make spinach quiche with frozen veggies. Also handy to make chicken pot pie!
I always keep frozen peas and corn on hand and add them in case my dish is looking a little bland. I also make a lot of spinach berry smoothies so frozen berries are always on hand!
I like to use frozen meals for lunches as they are fast and easy and low calorie. I also only use frozen veggies (corn, beans, carrots, etc.) because I think they taste better then the canned veggies and have less stuff added to them.

Frozen fruit in smoothies or porridge oats!
I love to use frozen veggies for stir fries. They’re easy, quick, and perfect for a week night meal!
I use frozen vegetables in almost all of my meals. But my favorite is simply laying frozen chicken, frozen cheddar cheese, frozen corn and black beans, and 8 Oz of frozen cream cheese in the crockpot for 8 hours. Toss in a jar of salsa and some fresh spinach and we have the inside of burritos with literally NO prep!
