just cook it in some chicken stock or something for like 12 hours and call it soup

>>11425077
beef soup
shepherds pie
fried rice

>>11425077
Soups and stir fries or just steam with butter salt and pepper

>>11425086
fuckin slut

I mostly use that to mix in with rice.
If I ever have leftover ham, I'll chop it up and mix it in with buttered white rice and the mixed vegetables. It's a nice and comfy meal that my mom made a lot when I was a kid.
Also great for fried rice.

>my supermarket started carrying these from a brand I've never heard of before
>the price is like half that of Green Giant for the same weight
>clear plastic packaging
>veggies look identical to that of Green Giant, perhaps even more uniformly cut
>look at the back
>Product of China

Is the okay, or am I going to get cancer from all the pesticides and ground pollution if I eat frozen vegetables from China?

>>11425117
yup

>>11425117
Dude I don't even like touching the items in the chinese import "Dollar" stores let alone eating anything from the part of the world.

>>11425166
>half the price of domestic frozen veg

It's probably in every premade meat pie or even cafeteria/restaurant pies.

>>11425077
Butter
>>11425096
This. Yes this. Fuck a slut with peas and make her say please.

>>11425117
every takeout probably uses those... idk

>>11425077
make nutrient loaf

>>11425077
I'm tying to lose weight, and pretty much only eat mixed vegetables, seasoned with salt and pepper, with a little bit of butter and a lot of hot sauce.

>>11425077
I don't know about the expiration date but...

In the past I would buy a Campbell's soup and add to it with boiled egg noodles and frozen veggies like that

>>11425251
Adding protein? Be careful about electrolytes too, lite salt has potassium and sodium, without enough electrolytes your insulin sensitivity increases making it harder to lose weight

>>11425077

Throw it in to fried rice.

>>11425251
Sounds awful. Losing weight should be a lifestyle change, not some weird diet.

>>11425380
>expiration date

food in the freezer has no expiry date, but you will get freezer burn, thats safe to eat, just gross

>>11425166

2018 and still being this purposely autistic.

>>11425387
Plain Greek yogurt, occasionally eggs and extra lean ground beef. Should I be drinking Gatorade?

>>11425392
I have a fucked up relationship with food. I plan on eating this way forever because I'd rather eat to live, than live to eat. Did for 9 months when I was pregnant because I literally couldn't eat anything else, and it was the healthiest I'd ever been.

>>11425667
>only eating vegetables slathered in butter
You're gonna pig out once the protein cravings hit. You probably also stunted your child's brain development by eating like this while pregnant.

sheperds pie

>>11425077
mix it with tatoes and mayo and boom you have a salad

>>11425932
this, replace butter with olive oil

Test

>>11425086
>>11425936
>sheperds pie
>corn
What the fuck is wrong with you people?

>>11425932
Honestly it wasn't a choice. Morning sickness was a bitch and I couldn't keep anything else down. Pregnancy is weird. Baby is just fine though, and multiple doctors were aware of the situation and said it was fine as long as I was taking my prenatal vitamin.

And they are hardly slathered in butter, half a tea spoon per cup of veggies is like 35 calories. *shrug*

>>11426022
My husband won't buy olive oil because he read an article once about it all being counterfeit. -_- Otherwise I would. All we have in the house is peanut oil.

>>11426708
Both you and your husband are retarded.

>>11426708
that's only italian olive oil for the most part in the US, buy greek, tunisian or my favorite, spanish.

>>11426708
Buy Californian. Lmao at people who buy rancid old foreign oil.

>>11426090
Putting things you like into your food

>I know anon what horror

>>11425077
Oh boy. This frozen or canned mix was the basis of 90% of my mom's cooking. The second I see those cubed carrots I know I'm in for the blandest meal of a lifetime. Either make shepherd's pie or a generic casserole.

>>11426781
I like corn as well. I also like bananas. I don't put bananas in my sheperd's pie and I don't put minced lamb in my banoffee pie. Some things just don't belong in certain recipes.

>>11426793
I always put corn in my shepherd's pie. I also make it with ground beef. Triggered, snowflake?

>>11425077
Mix with tuna and some mayonnaise and then chill it for some great tuna sandwiches

>>11425077
>sitting in the freezer for over a year
anon blue m&ms were introduced in 1995, meaning this bag has been sitting around frozen for at least 23 years
They’re probably still edible as long as the bag is still sealed (just watch the steveMRE videos in which he eats WWII chocolate. processed candy can last forever) though there’s a good chance of freezer burn. Thaw them slowly so they don’t develop those white patches that old chocolate sometimes does (they’re caused by fluctuations in temperature).
Honestly I’d just eat them plain, but there are a lot of things you can do with them including baking them into cookies, crushing them and sprinkling them on a cake, mixing them into trail mix, etc. Maybe you could sell them? I’m sure there are collectors out there who would love to snatch up an unopened bag of vintage m&ms (I’m assuming your photo is a stock photo)

>>11426925
how colorblind are you?

>>11425077
Boil them until the peas are like shriveled little ballsacks.
Serve with equally overboiled potatoes and a porkchop with the fat trimmed off before it was breaded and panfried for about an hour.
A little melted margarine for dipping.

This was my childhood.

>>11426925
Is this trolling?

>>11425077
>over a year
throw it out. It's bad. Think about 3-6 months except for primal beef cuts in a deep freeze, I wouldn't go a year on anything else.

This is literally $2 for a giant 5lb bag at places like Wal-mart. It's not worth eating spoiled freezer burnt old food.

This is a mix that is good for kids, who need all kinds of veggies, but are otherwise picky eaters, and it's one stop shopping for parents to get all the colors and all the vitamins in one fell swoop. Frozen veggies can be outstanding quality, with the new ways they're flash frozen, often better than fresh, esp for peas. So, it's good when making homemade soups to easymode saute a blend for like creamy chicken soup, just form a piecrust on top. Chicken a la king. The corn adds a bit of mexican options as well, or something southern, like chicken n dumplins, TV dinner kind of side. For those who don't mind nontraditional, it's a quick stir fry mix you always have ready in the freezer for fried rice made from leftover rice, just add the onion, egg, some diced ham, and when it's all browned up, press in your leftover rice with a good splash of soy or other seasonings (like curry), and flip til all blended and equally browned. .

>>11426925
Do I detect fresh pasta?

>>11426793
Plantains in shepherd's pie would be dope though.

>>11426925

>>11426925
I hope this is sincere

>>11426979
neither the texture nor the flavor would work in shepherds pie

>>11425077
If it's been there that long, it's expired. Throw it away.

>>11427800
You know whose texture and flavor does work in Shepherd's Pie?
Corn.

>>11427865

>>11427865

>>11427829
food doesnt expire in the freezer silly
there are accounts of people eating frozen mammoth meat that is 50,000 years old

>>11428318
And how did they say it tasted?
The food doesn't "expire" in the sense that it rots, but it can become very unpalatable.

>>11426925
That's some good autism

>>11426925

>>11425077
I bothers me so much that they include corn as if it were a vegetable when it's a fucking grain.

>>11428366
but peas are seeds too anon.

>>11428379
Seeds yes, grain no. You fucking eat pea flour?

>>11428404
is this bait?

>>11428404
I'll eat your pea flower, if you know what I mean ;)

>>11425101
Those canned green beans!
