I dislike discovering the frozen veggies are somewhat freezer-burned after they're on the stove and the fish is already steaming. So I was pretty pleased at myself for this solution.

Veggies: 1lb bag of ice-encrusted corn, carrots, peas, green beans & lima bean mix, slightly freezer-burned.

To which I added:

A cup of water to help melt the ice and re-hydrate the veggies.
A small handful of dehydrated onion to add some flavor.
Ditto a generous shake of dried minced garlic
Break up the chunks to speed heating and
Put the lid on.
Anything else need doing? Ah yes, jw1776 sliced the rest of the garlic-chunk-and-cracked pepper bread. Add some butter-like stuff and stick under the broiler...
Meanwhile, the veggies are starting to plump up. So...
Add some rosemary-herb mix
3 slices of American cheese
Stir til cheese is dissolved.
Use a bit of corn starch (dissolved in cold water) to thicken the sauce (optional), and...

Tasty veggies to go with the steamed sea bass and garlic toast. Yum!
