I’m always on the lookout for new products – and sometimes, they come to me!  As  RecipeRedux member I get access to foods that might not even be on the market yet…like the new Libby’s Vegetable Pouches, which are easy to open, shelf stable, and cook in the micro wave in 1 minute.  They’re an alternative to canned veggies, and taste better in my opinion!

With the cold weather finally here on the east coast, tis the season for a warm, cozy, casserole – by using Libby’s vegetables, beans, and whole grain pasta, this is an all-in-one meal that reheats perfectly for lunches.  No pre-cooking, sauteing, or chopping here – just dump all the ingredients into a pan, bake, and serve.  While it’s in the oven, sneak in a workout, relax, or enjoy time with your family!

I received free samples of Libby’s new Vegetable Pouches mentioned in this post. I was not compensated for my time.
