Preparation & serving notes

Canned green beans, carrots, and squash are cooked far softer than fresh. Drain the canning liquid (it's a thin liquid), cut pieces to 1.5 cm, and fork-pressure test. Moisten with a thick sauce if dry.

Skip canned corn (skins) and canned peas (skins) unless your SLP has cleared them.
