Fresh Meals Using Frozen Foods

Frozen as good as fresh? In a word, yes.

Because they're flash-frozen at the peak of the season, most frozen ingredients are just as nutritious as fresh. And, they're available year round, so your family favorites are always at hand.

You can use frozen vegetables in any recipe that calls for fresh or canned, let alone simply steaming, quickly boiling, or sauteing them. And, as a definite bonus, everything is already washed and chopped.
