This recipe comes together especially quickly when you have a frozen vegetable blend tucked in your freezer, or you may substitute with some fresh, chopped vegetables instead.

Serves 4. Ingredients

• 1 bag of frozen vegetable blend of your choice
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp. dry-ranch-dressing mix, lemon-pepper seasoning or seasoning blend of your choice

Directions

Place the vegetables in a skillet over medium heat, add 1/2 cup water and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir; cover again and cook until tender, 5 more minutes. Drain and discard the water, then stir in the butter, lemon juice and ranch-dressing mix. Cook, uncovered, until the butter has melted and the sauce has heated thoroughly. Serve hot.
