I've started buying a lot more frozen vegetables lately and I am so glad I did. When you're cooking for just two it's hard to buy fresh produce and ensure that you actually end up using it before it goes bad. With the frozen stuff, I can use as much as I want or as little as I want without worrying if it's going to disappear into the depths of our crisper.
Some of my favorites are asparagus tips, broccoli florets, and brussel sprouts. I read up on the pros and cons and found that nutritionally you don't lose much from the frozen veggies and it can actually be healthier because the produce is normally picked at its best.

But for the record, I always buy fresh fruit! Nothing beats fresh strawberries, blackberries, or melons!
