We got a lot of bags of frozen mixed vegetables in the lunch pickups and my kids are getting bored of them. They are carrots, beans, peas and corn. I usually just add spices and sometimes a little butter.

Is there anything more exciting I can do with it?

Make a cheese sauce. Melt some American Cheese or Shredded Cheese in a little milk.

Is there a recipe for using the veg in pasta salad? I always mean to make pasta salad and never know what to put in, and how to spice it.

I put them in baked ziti or any other kind of carb/cheese dish.
Or bake them in a pan under any chicken dish. They also work well under salmon or flounder.

2- vegetable soup
3- mix with eggs and breadcrumbs and make vegetable patties
4- cook rice and mix in the veg
5- Vegetable omelette or frittata, With or without cheese

Cook up 1 pound pasta. Rinse and drain.
Add 1 cup thawed small veggies and some diced Israeli pickles if you'd like.
For dressing, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon garlic powder & 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and shake until smooth. Pour over pasta salad and toss.

For a sweet deli type pasta salad, add some scallions or red onion instead of pickles (can used colorful diced peppers instead of the thawed peas & carrots).
For dressing, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp vinegar, 2 Tbsp water with a pinch of salt & pepper. Cover and shake until smooth.

Yum! I use it all the time for a veggie fried rice to go with any chicken or fish dinner. I bake it open in oven with a bit of oil and spices. Meanwhile, whip up a fried egg. Toss it all together with cooked rice.
My fam loves and it makes a balanced meal easy. Lucky u got a stock-up on that!
