It’s hard to prepare dishes with fresh vegetables, especially those that easily rot after a few days. We’ve prepared recipes for canned vegetables that are so fun and delicious to make, not to mention hassle-free as well. Incorporating healthy dishes into our lifestyle will be much easier since we can store and stock up on canned vegetables.

Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add milk; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.
