Green Giant to the Rescue!

Mealtime has always been hectic at my house!  I have two picky eaters and many times it seems as if I am cooking two entire meals.  Both of my sons love Mac and Cheese, so I decided to give the New Valley Fresh Steamers Vegetables,  Macaroni and Cheese Sauce with Broccoli a try.  Much to my delight, it was a huge hit and everyone loved it! 

I loved that it is quick and easy to prepare!  It is perfect for busy families with limited time to cook.  The fact that the Mac and Cheese also has broccoli added makes it a win-win situation.  The kids get the yummy mac and cheese that they want and they eat a vegetable as well.




 Making meal time easier than ever, Green Giant has introduced vegetables with pasta and savory sauces to their already convenient and tasty line-up of Valley Fresh Steamers frozen mixes.

The new Valley Fresh Steamers Vegetables with Pasta varieties include:
  • Macaroni and Cheese Sauce with Broccoli - classic elbow pasta and broccoli in a mouth watering cheese sauce
  • Pasta and Vegetables with Alfredo Sauce – delicious corkscrew pasta with carrots and broccoli in a savory Alfredo sauce


Giveaway!
I have a prize pack from Green Giant for one of my lucky readers so that you can also try one of the new Valley Fresh Steamers with Pasta. The prize pack will include the following:

  • 2 Green Giant placemats
  • Broccoli stress reliever
  • 32 oz. serving bowl
  • Surprise face serving spoon
  • A VIP coupon for the new Valley Fresh Steamers with Pasta

To enter tell me which one of the varieties of Valley Fresh Steamers with Pasta you would like to try.
