Veggies: Pick a combination of fresh or frozen asparagus, peas, zucchini, peppers, corn, broccoli or cauliflower, cut into small pieces so they cook quickly and blend in well with the packaged mix. Feel free to use whatever extras you have to stretch out this freezer mix and of course, to add more veggies!
