Dine In taste

Healthy, hungry, and…LAZY?

This post has been sponsored by Birds Eye. All opinions are strictly my own.

How THIS lazy cook eats healthy

 

If I had to list two things that I do when eating they would be

  1. TRY to cut down on my carbs and sugars
  2. Find the easiest way out when it comes to making dinner

I am by nature a lazy cook

I’ve become even lazier since we became empty nesters and moved to Florida. Cooking for two…in the HEAT feels like such a chore. That could easily translate into delivery/food to go, and while I do treat myself to this once in a while, it’s difficult to eat healthy when your only options are pizza or Chinese delivery.

Every night I light the grill

It’s easier, the house doesn’t heat up, and my meals are healthier, but getting my vegetables and trying to pass on potatoes and bread leave me with limited options.

A few weeks ago I learned

Birds Eye, the brand that I go to for my frozen veggies has a great new product that has made MY dinner-making a whole lot easier and healthier to boot. I’m eating MORE vegetables thanks to Birds Eye’s creative new “Veggie Made™” products. I no longer have to put my cauliflower through the ricer or mash it by hand, instead I toss a bag of riced or mashed cauliflower into the microwave (and yes, you can even get it pre-seasoned), and I feel like I’m enjoying a huge helping of carbs with my dinner….ONLY I’M NOT.

5 minutes in the microwave

 

So easy, so good

Not only is this a yummy (and nutritious) solution to cutting carbohydrates AND getting more nutrition in your meals, but with preparation as easy as 5 minutes in the microwave in the Birds Eye’s Steamfresh packaging, I don’t have to slave over a hot stove. Mr. S and I get full servings of vegetables with no artificial ingredients, and it’s my number one dinner hack to the comfort foods that he loves.

The bag is HOT, so be careful

Birds Eye Veggie Made varieties include:

  • Birds Eye Veggie Made™ Mashed: Original Cauliflower, Sour Cream & Chives Cauliflower, Roasted Garlic Cauliflower, and Sweet Potatoes & Carrots with Brown Sugar
  • Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggie Made™ Riced Cauliflower: Original, Roasted Garlic, Savory Herb, and Italian Cheese
  • Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggie Made™ Pasta: Original Zucchini Lentil Pasta, Spinach Lentil Pasta with Alfredo Sauce, Zucchini Lentil Pasta with Cheddar Sauce and Zucchini Lentil Pasta with Marinara Sauce

Ready to serve & it is ALL SEASONED

I’ve enjoyed

alll different versions of the cauliflower – Original mashed, Original Riced, Riced Savory Herb and more and I LOVE them all (and Mr. S…who is a meat and potatoes guy) hasn’t said BOO (which is good, because he’d normally ask me for something that his cardiologist has said NO to).

My carb loving husband had no clue…..

  • Pick up Birds Eye “Veggie Made” in the Steamfresh packs in the freezer section of your grocery store.
