The penne recipe I've been making for years, it's supreeeemely easy and
quick (like me!), "fancy" enough to serve to company. Add some red pepper
flakes for spice (and color) if you so desire...

Another quick dish using frozen green beans is to stir fry them with some
ground pork. Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, chili oil, sesame
oil, whatever. Garnish with sesame seeds Served over rice it's quite
tasty. Shrimp also work well with this, as does diced chicken...

I've been using a lot of frozen veg this winter, they are on sale often. My
freezer is fairly full of them in fact. I like the little frozen whole
onions, it beats the tedium of dealing with the fresh ones...

Like the article sez, there is no diff between say Bird's Eye and store
brand frozen vegetables. My store often has them on sale for the same
price. You will however pay a lot more for the fancy "side dish" types of
things with butter sauce, etc....
