Can I just say......

We have been loving frozen veggies from Publix lately! Seriously, my cooking has been out of control for the past two weeks. And, by out of control, I mean we have been eating either a Lean Cuisine or a Smart Ones, coupled with a frozen veg. (And don't even tell me about the sodium and other crapola in these meals). I have no desire to cook right now, and we are trying to shed some of these vacay pounds we have picked up. Namely, me and my 6 friends pounds.

However, these bags of Publix veggies have been right on. I am learning how to make veggies like my mom-in that they don't taste like cardboard. I have actually purchased a HAM HOCK in the past week and actually USED IT. Oh yeah, the collards and black eyed peas made with said ham hock were rockin.





Our collards were chopped-this was a stock image.


And our butter beans were frozen, not organically bagged and dry. :D

Seriously, between husband and I, we eat the entire bag of veggies. And would keep eating more if we had them. I guess this is a "good" problem to have.......
On another note, we are leaving for Tampa on Wednesday for a family visit, so posting will be sparse. As will commenting. C'est la vie ladies, c'est la vie.
Love to all!
Don't forget about my blog sale going on now!

    I have never been a fan of frozen veggies - except frozen corn. I can eat that all day!
