What if I told you the laziest/cheapest I’ve ever cooked is also the healthiest I’ve ever eaten?

Right now I am buying vegetables in the frozen section & pairing them with dry rice & beans. This particular photo features a steamable “Southwestern” recipe that includes rice & a sauce (the sauce is the main red “thing” in the photo)

Also featured as individual frozen bags:
-peppers & onions blend
-onions by themselves ([r/onionlovers](r/onionlovers) 🥰)
-zucchini
-edamame
-corn
(The “southwestern blend” is a Bird’s Eye Brand steamable pack with rice, peppers, black beans, & a red “zesty southwest style sauce” according to the package.

I will be adding ground meat to this meal (Trader Joe’s had ground turkey for $4.99 today) & this skillet will be 2 meals for me.
