cook with a can of jellied cranberry sauce and a bottle of chili sauce. Combine the 2 sauces and heat until smooth, then add the meatballs and cook until they are hot.

Need cocktail smokies sauce
A lady I used to work with had 2 different combos for cocktail smokies or meatball sauces. Both only had 2 ingredients. I think one was a combination of chili sauce and grape jelly. And there was another one that was a combination of yellow mustard and I can't remember the other thing. One is a really sweet sauce, the other not so richly sweet (the one with the mustard). These are real common sauces but I am totally having a brain fart here...LOL Anyone remember what goes with the mustard?
DeSarono soothing cocktail sm
Equal parts of evap milk, strong Starbucks coffee and DeSarono liquer. Served room temp or slightly warm if your coffee was hot. Much lighter and less sweet than Bailey's...I LOVE THIS STUFF.
I also like DeSarono sour on the rocks.
meatballs
Make them yourself about 1 inch or less or premade that you buy. Suatee the meatballs in a skillet of jellied cranberry sauce and water down on lot heat with a can of Ginger-Ale, depending on how thick you want the sauce. Delicious. So easy. Has a sweet and sour taste. Have gotten lots of compliments on this. Can't get any easier than this, or more delicious.

sweet and sour meatballs
Pre-brown quarter-sized meatballs in a skillet if you made them yourself, or you can even cheat and buy them frozen from Hormel in the frozen food department. Sautee them slowly in a skillet of one can of jellied cranberry sauce and part of a can of 7-Up. Add the 7-up to desired consistency of the cranberry to make the sauce as thick or thin as you like. I do not measure, I just cook them slowly. Nothing can be more simple. I take all the credit even if I user Hormal meatballs - takes the pressure off me and is delicious.
Ah, those marshmallow meatballs will kill ya

frozen eggs
You can buy frozen egg/biscuit sandwiches in the frozen section of the grocery store (think Jimmy Dean brand)which you can then microwave, so I would assume you could make your own. The worst that could happen is do a trial run of 1 and see how it turns out. Great idea for the kids, not to mention cheaper if you make them yourself. Never thought of it, but may try it for myself! I make my own mini-TV dinners out of leftovers and freeze them and then microwave them which is another good idea in my mind.
frozen eggs
You can freeze eggs but they tend to get a little rubbery. Scambled eggs are better to freeze than fried eggs though, don't get rubbery. And eggs you cook yourself and freeze are different than the eggs you get on breakfast sandiwches you buy at the store in the freezer section. Good luck. Just thought I would share this with you. My husband is a chef, went to culinary school and all.
I have never frozen spinach myself...
but you can buy frozen spinach, it's cooked first and then when you 'cook' it you are thawing it/reheating it.
As for mushrooms, I sautee them first then freeze.
HTH
can milk be frozen?
and still be good to drink?
Don't do frozen. We get the "family"
size from Papa Murphy's.
can cubed cheese be frozen?
I have a big cheese platter left over from a party this weekend. It consists various cubed cheeses. Did anyone ever freeze cheese?
Thanks
Another frozen dinner. ( I don't cook.)

Never buy frozen pizza from the store
I have never found one that does not taste like eating a piece of cardboard. I have a Johnny's Pizza probably as close as the nearest store and my goodness, what terrific pizza but I also love my pepperoni and green olive stromboli. Yum, yum.
And now there's a #4, her late husband's frozen sperm!

Whatever frozen dinner I can find in the freezer

Be careful using it with a frozen casserole. I bought
the casserole. It said to bake it on a cookie sheet, so I pulled out my stone. The stone broke into 3 pieces during cooking, so I learned never to do that again. I have 2, one is black because it has been used so much, but I love them. I just don't put anything frozen solid on them anymore, including biscuits. I am probably paranoid, but after the first one I have broke like that, I feel it is just better safe than sorry.
I've used frozen dough for pizzas sm
You could make pepperoni rolls, hot ham and cheese sandwiches. You could really come up with any combination for a sandwich idea. I bet the bread will be fine if you combine it with other flavors. Maybe even baking them as usual but first brushing with butter and maybe a little parm cheese or italian seasoning to make them more tasty.
What is your favorite frozen pizza from the store?
What frozen pizza do you like? Alot of times we'll get a pizza on Friday night. Figuring a frozen is cheaper than pick up?
It's really hard not to do a drive through when you're running around on the weekends. Just wondering what others do to help cut down on the cost of eating out.
It's just me and 2 kids, 8 & 9 yr old.
Did you read the post?? She buys frozen stuffed

use frozen carrots in soups/stews/roast
I always use frozen carrots and celery and onions in my soups, stews, roasts, gravy, etc. You can either thaw them in the fridge (probably the upper part of yours) or in the microwave before throwing into the pot...otherwise start them at the beginnig of the recipe so they have a chance to get a head start over everything else and thaw that way. freezing veggies is a great way to 'use' them before they go bad. we don't eat a whole bundle of carrots or celery before the go bad so when i know they are getting close i chop them all up and freeze them. same with bananas for banana bread and the fixings for salsa. :)
Rewarmed frozen Safeway pizza from last night.
Or whip up some frozen fruity thing in the blender. Congrats! nm

Great frozen fish - halibut, blue hake, fillets; sm
I also use the packages of veggies like asparagus spears - next best thing to fresh. You don't have to use the premixed things, just buy single items that you'd like to keep on hand. Good selection of low-fat frozen yogurt and ice cream items. And I ditto the poster below about the bagel dogs - great snack food on the run!
Bertoli's shrimp scampi is awesome. In the frozen food section. Don't cook from scratch! nm
