Shrimp-Vegetable Quinoa Fried Rice and $150 Visa Giveaway
March 19, 2013
People always ask me how do I get my three kids to eat so healthy. Being a busy but health-conscious mom, I always want to prepare meals using the best possible ingredients. I love using frozen foods in cooking because frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at the peak of ripeness and flash frozen, locking in beneficial nutrients. Frozen foods work great (and are budget-friendly) in many recipes such as in this one: Shrimp-Vegetable Quinoa Fried Rice. It’s a healthy, gluten-free main dish that is a twist on fried rice. It’s a favorite at our house, and it’s so quick and easy.
I am so pleased to announce that this year marks the 30th Annual National Frozen Food Month. In honor of this, the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association is offering a few cool sweepstakes this month! Also, I am offering a $150 Visa Gift card. To enter my giveaway, leave a comment telling me your favorite way to use frozen foods in cooking. The winner will be drawn on Wednesday, March 27th at 8 a.m central.
