A different twist on Veggies

Ok so one of my favorite ways to have veggies is steamed, then pan fried.  Odd I  know but bear with me.  So a different way to have broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots is to cook them twice.  I buy the bag at Costco of mixed veggies.  Then I steam them. This is my kids favorite so I serve them and then I move on to me.  After they have been steamed, I drain the water and add approximately 1 Tbs. of butter to a fry pan.  I add the veggies, season with any seasoning that sounds good, I like lemon pepper, and cook until the tips have browned.  So good!  The browning adds a different flavor and it just kicks your tired veggies up a notch. Eventually I am pretty sure I can get my kids to try this...but for now...they have steamed!
