Weeknight Dinner Idea: Frozen Meals
There are many frozen foods and meals available to help take the stress and work out of meal planning. The trick is using a variety of key ingredients from the freezer then pair with fresh fruits and veggies. And the good news…it’s easier than you think.
Here’s a clever mealtime solution… Start with a frozen prepared meal as the center of your plate and then add fresh sides like fruit, vegetables, whole grains and dairy. You can find so many delicious frozen meals now, including plant-based frozen meals, that are convenient and affordable. Plus, the vegetables in these frozen meals can be just as nutritious as fresh because the freezer locks in the nutrients until you’re ready to eat. And, frozen prepared foods help to cut down on food waste.

It always makes me laugh when Brent shares how is grandmother made “homemade lasagna and apple pie” (aka Stouffer’s Lasagna and a frozen apple pie). Stouffer’s has been around for generations and its meals are delicious. You can’t beat the flavor and high quality of a Stouffer’s meal, Plus, they’re economical and easily customizable. With more than 100 varieties of single-serve and multi-serve meals, everyone in the family can choose their own taste adventure. There are recipes for every taste and occasion.
