    You really can’t beat the Kirkland brand Normandy Frozen Vegetables (giant bag). The broccoli, cauliflower and two kinds of carrots (yellow, cut into rounds, and orange, as baby carrots) are the perfect mix, and are so quick to steam or microwave. Best quality frozen veggies I’ve ever had!

      I couldn’t agree more! And it’s such a good price!! I like adding a dash of soy sauce to my frozen veggies, do you season yours at all, or just plain?
