    Here is a new side dish that is simple to make with tons of texture, flavor and color. It all starts with fresh produce and becomes an eye-catching vegetable jumble.

    It seems like we all forget to get inventive with our side dishes. It's usually the same old, same old.

    Well, this is a new one to add to your recipe box and I think it has a real good chance to always liven up your dinner table.

    You can make this complete recipe for a smaller family and have the leftovers for lunch. Vegetable Jumble is one of my favorite go-to's.

    It heats up great in a pan or in the microwave.

    You can certainly eat more than a cup too. When I fill out the facts for the nutrition label it forces me to choose a serving size.

    This dish is so healthy and low in calories you can eat a lot more, especially for a stand-alone lunch.

    If I didn't think of a vegetable that you would like to include - please do so.

    All the vegetables are pre-prepared and cooked al dente before they are melded together in a skillet along with the spices. This is a great side dish that is both fresh and tasty.

    A favorite vegetable for the majority of people.  It not only tastes good but is super healthy too!

      Seems great, but do those vegetables full of water keep a good texture after being in freezer?

      Yes they do Karyna. Just as you have to blanch vegetables before freezing. When you buy frozen vegetables from the store they have been blanched first - at least. That is a minimum of boiling according to the vegetables needs.
