Lisa's Organics, Camelian Bay, California, USA, producer of certified organic vegetable frozen side dishes, has combined veggies with chef-inspired sauces that go from freezer to dinner plate in just five minutes.

Created by working mom Lisa Marie Boudreau, Lisa's Organics offers five varieties complete with chef-inspired glazes and sauces. The entire line is aimed at enabling even the most schedule-crunched businesswomen to serve hot meals in minutes.

The line includes California Vegetables in Balsamic Glaze, Sweet Peas in Parmesan Herb Sauce, Whole Green Beans in Garlic Olive Oil Sauce, Broccoli Florets in Gorgonzola Bleu Cheese Sauce, and Southwest Vegetables in Ranchero Sauce. All are low in sodium as well as organic, come in two-serving bags at $3.49, and offer recipe ideas for quick meals.

The company is also fully committed to a "greener" world. Along with a first-of-its-kind #2 recyclable bag to reduce waste into landfills, it lowers fuel consumption by buying from US and Canadian farmers, packaging products in the US and centrally locating their warehouse so they can get products to stores without undue time on the roadways. In 2012, Lisa's Organics created Garden to Hospitals, a program dedicated to teaching kids the importance of healthy eating in order for them to be advocates for change in their school lunch rooms and kitchens serving meals to kids in hospitals.
