Hello. Here's some more fruit and vegetable news that you can really enjoy. Recently, new vegetable combinations have hit the frozen section at your grocery store like this Italian mix. Try broiling them to create a fragrant indoor barbecue, using a regular broiling pan like this. First you shake the vegetables in a large plastic bag with 2 teaspoons olive oil, a dash of salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary to taste. I then place the vegetables on a grill rack 4 inches from the broiler. In just 6 minutes you have a warm and delicious side dish. It's an easy way to add real variety to your meal, and take the "freeze" out of winter. ½ cup is one vegetable serving, but I usually serve 3 servings per person. So, go on, do yourself a flavor. Enjoy your 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
