We are going on a trip, and our freezer - and pantry, for that matter - is full of things that won't last until we get back. I kinda forgot about this until this week, so now I'm desperately trying to creatively construct meals - preferably with nutritious element from our culinary collection.
The first day, I cooked a frozen cheese pizza with fresh pepperoni and a pepperoni broccoli stirfry. I also threw a box of yellow cake and a box of raspberry Jello together to make one of my favorite desserts ever, it was incredibly tasty and just as moist and wonderful as the blue cake I made for my mother-in-law.
Last night we had frozen chicken strips, frozen chicken nuggets, the sad leftovers of a bag of frozen onion rings, frozen tater tots, a box of frozen veggies and a can of baked beans. Ellie and I had a nutritious meal. My husband? Well, he did eat a single onion ring along with his strips and tots. Onions are veggies, right? Oh! I rounded out my meal with Martinelli's sparkling apple-grape juice. Yum! I followed the meal with some of the yummy raspberry cake.
For lunch, my mom requested frozen Hebrew National pigs in a blanket, so I reheated some of the baked beans and cooked frozen peas and carrots with butter, shallot salt and garlic pepper. It was a rather tasty meal. Of course, I also had a piece of raspberry cake.
Dinner tonight was frozen P.F. Chang's beef with broccoli and frozen spring rolls. The P.F. Chang's meal is not the cheapest, about the same price as getting it at the restaurant, but it sure is tasty, and we can round out the meal for much cheaper than dining out. I also baked some frozen tropical fruit with some honey. I produced a yummy fruit concoction resembling a crisp without the crisp topping. I'll have to remember this.
I knew we had a lot of food in the freezer, but I really had no idea.
