PictSweet Vegetables for Roasting - Cauliflower, Sweet Potatoes & Halved Brussels Sprouts

This is fine. It's only 250 calos but makes a decent (single) portion. I like all of these vegetables, and I certainly like roasting, but even with oil and seasonings these weren't especially flavorful. The sweet potatoes weren't even sweet, which is rare! In fact, the tastiest veg were the cauliflower, which is unheard of. That was also the predominant veg of the trio. Makes me wonder if I undercooked it or something (although I didn't! the veg were browned!). This was on sale, but it is deffo not worth the full price. 

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

Pictsweet Farms Sliced Brussels Sprouts

Some of my best friends are... PictSweet. JK, I've never heard of (nor even perceived) this brand before. But I have gotten very bored of my present frozen veg rotation, and I am extremely limited in my options (as the blog-reading crowd shouts "we know!"). This was super expensive for a frozen veg, especially since the only seasonings are salt, pepper, and oil, which I can easily apply myself, but it's the simpleness of the ingredients that allowed me to buy it, so there you go. I got super into the balsamic birds eye(?) brussels sprouts for a while because they were on clearance, but these are somewhat less flavorful. What they lack in nuance, they make up for in A Lot Of Salt and Pepper. I am not someone who puts a ton of salt and pepper on food (usually just a medium amount of pepper and red pepper), so take my reaction with a grain of salt, but there's like, an awful lot of grains of salt and pepper. I can hardly taste the Brussels! They also say to use 3 (!!!) tablespoons of oil, which I did because I didn't want a massive smoke alarm situation, but I think I could have used 2 and been fine. Quantity quibbles aside, these are tasty and brussels sprouts. I don't even miss the balsamic that much. I would definitely get these again on sale, but otherwise it's going to be a rare treat.
