CECI CARMICHAEL - IN A RECIPE RUT? FRESH IDEAS ARE AS CLOSE AS THE FROZEN FOOD AISLE *** MARCH IS NATIONAL FROZEN FOOD MONTH ***
Do you find yourself in a rotation of the same five or six recipes at dinner time? It’s time to find new inspiration in a place you might not expect… your grocer’s frozen food aisle.
Today’s freezer aisles are full of quality foods, made with real ingredients. Frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at the peak of ripeness and flash frozen to lock in all the beneficial nutrients and keep them in their perfect, just-picked state. Appetizers, ready-made sandwiches, side dishes, entrees and desserts can all be found in one place, with options for vegetarian, organic, gluten-free, international and ethnic-inspired products.
March is National Frozen Food Month, and many of your local grocery stores will be featuring special prices and promotions. Leading up to the event, Ceci Carmichael will be available on Feb. 22 to tell your viewers about the latest innovations in frozen food products, the benefits of choosing frozen foods, easy, time-saving recipes and details about a new, national sweepstakes offer.
