Creamy Cheesy Veggie Puffs & a giveaway!

by

My youngest daughter and I made these for lunch one day.  They’re quick to make and a scrumptious way to eat veggies.

They’re out of this world.  No really, they are.  See the martian below.

Isn’t it cute?  And surprisingly tasty for an extraterrestrial.

I will be making these again sometime.  The cheese along with the biscuit dough reminded me of a warm version of veggie pizza.  Only puff shaped.

The short cut ingredient in this recipe is Birds Eye Steamfresh veggies.  They cook in their own bag in the microwave.  No chopping or extra dish washing required.  This makes it perfect for cooking with kids.

Here’s what you’ll need: 

The recipe isn’t mine, but I did alter it from the original.  Birds Eye sent me the recipe to try, complete with martian decorating ideas.  If you’d like to try some of their other easy recipes visit BirdsEye.com for kid-friendly recipe ideas featuring Birds Eye Steamfresh® products.

    Gosh, those veggie puffs look tasty! I don’t think I can really pick a favorite vegetable … I like them all! – but I probably serve broccoli more than anything else because it’s one of the few that we all agree on 🙂

  4. Tracy G. says

    Favorite veggie in my house has always been broccoli! Although, bok choy is a real close second.

  11. Monica says

    We eat a lot of Steamfresh vegetables! I don’t think there is one we don’t like, but probably eat peas and broccoli the most.

  19. Veronica says

    I absolutely LOVE sweet potatoes and brocolli! They always remind me of this time of year. Brocolli rice casserole is always on our table at Thanksgiving!

  23. aimee detullier says

    The only veggie my whole family can agree on is broccoli so I serve that the most. Those puffs look yummy.!

  25. teresa g says

    My favorite veggie is a tie between carrots & green beans. My daughter makes the most delicious roasted carrots . Add in some beets and broccoli and I am really in heaven. Just sad I am not allowed to eat any of these raw 🙁

  26. Nancy says

    I love broccoli!! Didn’t as a child, but had it at a friends house and have loved it ever since!! But, corn is a close second! Actually, I love most all veggies!

  31. says

    These sound wonderful! Can’t wait to make them! My favorite veggie is green beans. Except that I’m from the south where Mac and Cheese counts as a veggie thus making it my all time favorite!

  33. kelli says

    I have to say my favorite veggie is broccoli. If we were not gluten free and dairy free I would make these for lunch! I am going to have to convert them so we can eat them

  36. Jacqueline says

    Love this recipe idea. My boys are veggie snobs, but love steamfresh corn. Can’t wait to try this recipe to see if my boys will like it!!

  38. Connie says

    Love anything fresh out of the garden! Corn, potatoes, spinach, green beans, snow peas, squash…I could go on and on!

    This recipe looks amazing–looking forward to trying it!

  42. Cathy B says

    I love all veggies, but my favorite has to be corn. Corn cooked any way, on the cob, frozen kernels, creamed style. I always put corn in my soups, stew, pot pies, whatever!

  43. Maggie O'Connor says

    My favorite veggie is either fresh corn on the cob or roasted broccoli. But I really like Brussels sprouts, green beans and carrots, too.

  50. JD says

    My favorite Bird’s Eye is the mix of broccoli and cauliflower. We love it. The recipe looks really goo.

  55. Barbara says

    Love all veggies, especially those in the cabbage family – broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts.

  63. Meegan says

    My Favorite Veg is Brussell Sprouts! I know not what most people would say. I really like it with a little balsamic vinegar

  64. Andrea D. says

    I love broccoli because you can put it in almost anything. Thanks for the chance to enter.

  77. Megan says

    I love veggies! I can’t pick one favorite, so I’ve put them into categories. My favorite cooked veggie is asparagus…I just feel fancy eating it for some reason. My favorite raw veggies are sugar snap peas straight from the vine. I used to sneak them all the time as a little girl.

  78. Shirley says

    I love the ideas you always have for us! Thank you so very much.

    I totally have to try the Golden Dragon Lettuce Boats as well as Creamy Cheesy Veggie Puffs. They both look so yummy, healthy and convenient since I always keep precooked chicken and meat in the freezer.

  80. Leslie says

    Sounds so boring but celery – I could eat it all day long & you can put it chopped up in any recipe just to add some crunch. 2nd choice broccoli same reason.

  84. Debbi R says

    My favorite vegetable changes with the seasons. Asparagus is always a favorite in the spring.

  86. Lois says

    I’m gonna go out on a limb here…my first thought was mushrooms. I googled it to see if they are considered a vegetable and they are! They are “classified” as vegetable! So, I learned something in the process of entering this contest 🙂

  91. says

    That is such a hard question – I love lots of different veggies. But if I have to pick, I guess mushrooms, especially if they’re roasted.
    Those Veggie Puffs look delicious! And the little martian is so cute 🙂

  98. Cindy says

    My favorite veggie is definitely broccoli! I love it raw, I loved it cooked, I love it in salads, I love it in soups, I love it smothered in cheese, I love it in casseroles. I could go on. Although I’ve yet to try it in a dessert, I’ll bet I would love that too!

  100. Jessica says

    My favorite veggie is green beans, especially in a green bean casserole! Hope I saw this post in enough time to be entered in the drawing. Thanks!!!
