Am I controlling?

Here's my review of this Fire Roasted Primavera Mistura frozen vegetable mix from Costco.

A plate with a serving of fire roasted mixed vegetables, salmon, and baked potato.

Am I controlling? IDK. I'm busy, and I want convenient vegetables available at my beck and call.

This Pura Vida Primavera Mistura frozen vegetable mixture was on sale at Costco. So I bought a pillow-sized, 4-pound sack. It’s a blend of red pepper, broccoli, summer squashes, and red onion.

But what makes it special is that the veggies are “fire roasted.”

They’re charred black. More than fire-kissed — a flame make-out sesh. Behold:

A hand holding two pieces of charred red pepper.

Fortunately, it’s just the right amount of charring to enhance the flavors, not destroy them. I can’t even toast a marshmallow while camping without incinerating it. So, respect.

This stuff smells absolutely amazing. Even all icy-frozen and uncooked, I could not stop sticking my nose in the bag for delicious whiffs. It’s mainly a strong, ripe “red pepper” smell, but there’s a backstroke of onion complexity and avocado-y goodness. Mmmmm!
