So when I am down and out and can’t find anything to fix for dinner (or just plain don’t feel like any of the meals in our freezer) this is what I fix. It has been a staple for my husband and I over the years of our dating and marriage. It is our “go to” meal. It is also somewhat of a comfort meal for us. It is so simple and I am sure that many of you make it for your children, or even your family. But I thought you might like to know some of the things that I fix when I am not cooking from my freezer.

Pasta

• 8 ounces Fettuccine Noodles
• .25 cup of butter
• .75 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or minced garlic)

Directions:

Boil pasta noodles according to package directions. Drain off water and return to pan. Mix butter in and stir until melted. Stir in Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Serve.

Veggies

• 12-16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Directions:

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add frozen vegetables. Cover and steam for 5-10 minutes or until vegetables seem to be nearly cooked (stir occasionally). Cook an additional few minutes uncovered. Add Italian seasoning and serve.
