So I usually buy a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, does anyone have any ways to cook them other than just steaming them, because their getting really boring for me. I need more flavour. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Corn!
So, I have fresh ears of corn (maize). I don't have access to a grill or anything like that, so I plan on shucking them and boiling them, and then serving with a bit of salt. Anything I can do to add some flavour? I guess smothering them in butter is right out :grumble:

Vegetable Quiche Cups To Go
I have made these several times, they are quite tastey. DO NOT USE FAT FREE CHEESE, it makes them yucky, stick to the reduced fat.
