While they may not be fresh, frozen vegetables are convenient to buy and easy to prepare. While they may not always taste quite like their fresh counterparts, here are some creative recipes that make frozen vegetables taste great.

Gnocchi With Peas

If you have an abundance of frozen peas, then consider throwing them into a dish with some gnocchi for a fresh Italian flavor. Consider over-toasting the gnocchi slightly for an outer crisp.

Chicken Pot Pie

If you happen to have some refrigerated pie crust, then consider stuffing it with frozen vegetables to create a chicken pot pie. In addition to the chicken, you’ll ideally need some carrots, peas, and hashbrowns.

Chicken Stir Fry

All you need for this recipe is some shredded chicken and frozen vegetables straight out of the bag. Drizzle some soy sauce into a pan, throw in the ingredients and get stirring.

Some people are simply born more creative than others. When you see Dan Freeman’s work, you’ll know why we believe he is one of them. Freeman, an NYC-based lawyer and dad, makes the most adorable succulent pasta you’ve ever seen. He’s famous on TikTok and you can follow him there to see more!

What sauce should I make for these? I haven’t cooked them yet 🤷🏻‍♂️ #pasta #pastatiktok #succulents

♬ original sound – Danny Loves Pasta

Freeman makes pasta that looks like tiny succulents in terracotta pots. It looks almost too good to be eaten, but the insides hide delicious cheese which makes for a tasty meal. His first attempt at succulent ravioli went well on social media, but after he listened to some of the comments he received, he added the pots and his work went viral.

“The response really blew me away!” the creative chef told Popsugar. “I’m happy that it was able to make so many people smile.”

You’d easily assume he is a professional chef, but Freeman is actually a non-profit tenant-rights lawyer. He has a young daughter and makes pasta while she’s napping or in the evenings. Pasta reminds him of his Italian-American grandmother who used to make fresh pasta for family gatherings.

You can also see his work on Instagram, where he currently has over 120,000 followers. He shares many more amazing pasta designs there.

Hummus is a healthy and refreshing food that can be really quite delicious. One of the great things about hummus is you can get really creative with it. To make it, you basically puree chickpeas—and then that’s where the fun starts!

Here are 3 ideas to get you started experimenting with hummus.

Red Pepper Hummus

To make red pepper hummus, simply empty 2 can of chickpeas into a blender or food processor. Chop up 1-2 red peppers, and add to the chickpeas with salt, pepper and coriander. Blend them all up and serve with carrot sticks or celery.

Hummus Tart

Buy some thin-bake pastry and line a small greased baking tray with it. Put it in the oven for 10-15 minutes while you puree some chickpeas—and your choice of herbs and spices. When the pastry has turned golden brown, fill the pastry with your herby hummus.

Roasted Vegetable Hummus

Simply chop up your choice of fresh vegetables into small chunks and roast them in the oven for 10-13 minutes. A good choice will be something like red onions, peppers, garlic, eggplant, mushroom and zucchini. Puree chickpeas and mix together with salt and pepper.

As people around the world started hoarding toilet paper in an attempt to get ready for the coronavirus pandemic, many were confused and started making jokes about it. The internet is full of memes and funny jokes about toilet paper now being a scarce resource, and we recently saw these hilarious toilet paper cakes that really made our day.

The cakes have first been spotted in Southern California in Albertsons stores, and in a supermarket in New Jersey. Since then, many bakeshops followed the trend with their own iterations of toilet paper cakes. Are they hoping to sell them quickly just like the toilet paper sells these days?

All we know is that, in times like this, every creative idea can help keep a business going, and that’s the case with these shops and toilet paper cakes. Now that many small businesses are suffering the consequences of pandemic and social isolation, it’s important to stand out and remind your customers that you’re still working and that you have just the thing they need right now.
