For something different, try 3 cups frozen whole kernel corn or peas or 1 package (16 ounces) your favorite frozen vegetable blend in this recipe.
To save time, use your microwave. Most stores now carry fresh and frozen vegetables in 12-ounce microwave-ready "steamer" bags. Just prepare according to package directions, drain and toss in a medium bowl with 2 pouches Swanson® Concentrated Vegetable Broth!
For an Italian twist, stir in 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crushed and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese.
To add some crunch, stir in 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds.
For a honey-balsamic glaze, stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Cook and stir over low heat for 5 minutes or until the glaze is thickened.
