MY VEGI MIX:

Cook pasta and rice till done. Put frozen vegis, corn and beans (pinto, lima etc.) in colander. Pour pasta and rice over Veggies, mix and rinse well. Drain and store in frig for 5 days or press in cube trays until frozen, then pop out and store in Ziplock bag in freezer. (make a month worth!!) Serve frozen or thawed

I feed this as a base everyday. To this I add fresh vegis, fruit and something from my “dry food bag”. Always dispose of fresh food before it spoils.

Dry Food Bag: save all crackers, healthy cereal, (nothing choc.) etc. Mix and store in ziplock bag.
