2. Cook carrots, peas, and corn a saucepan with water, until tender. Drain.

Additional Notes:
*I highly recommend mixing up a batch of this homemade spice mix called Jamie’s Spice Mix. It’s delicious on so many foods! However, if you just want the seasoning for this meatball rice medley, you can use these measurements:
1/2 tablespoon onion powder or granulated onion
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder or granulated garlic
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
**I usually “cheat” and buy frozen Italian-style seasoned meatballs from Costco. You can use your favorite meatball recipe; anything Italian or spicy will go great with the other seasonings in this recipe.
