Another frozen dinner. ( I don't cook.)
:)
Freezer jam
I did try that last year and wasn't all that impressed. Seemed a little runny to me, to use as regular jam on toast and things but I hadn't thought about as a topping. I bet it would be great with angel food cake!
be sure to try freezer straw. jam!!
it is the absolute BEST tasting jam ever, and so quick and easy to make; add the pectin stuff/sugar etc, wait 5 min or whatever instructions say and put in freezer. So fresh tasting compared to cooked jam and great on ice cream, waffles, etc. (recipe on instructions in suregel type boxes)
Defrosting chest freezer
Anyone have any quick fixes for defrosting a chest freezer, this is the first time I have had one and the frost is starting to build up, is full so is there a way to take everything out and defrost it quickly, without turning it off and letting it AL melt itself? Thanks in advance.
my freezer/fridge is dying
Like an idio t, i thought it was my imagination that stuff wasn't getting cold enough or frozen hard enough in my fridge/freezer so i haven't said anything to the manager of our townhous complex. around Wedesday I noticed my cool whip wasn't frozen. Now my "frozen" fish sticks are softer and easy to break. Are they safe to eat? what happens if a "keep frozen" food gets thawed out? Is it still safe to eat?? The office isn't open until Monday and he probably won't get here until Monday afternoon at the earliest so what do I do with all my food in the meantime??
Do you have a friend who has room in their freezer to help you out? nm

Dog found in the freezer at our fav Chinese restaurant sm
well what used to be our fav. Now closed. This happened in the 80s. We still love chinese food though. Have it almost once a week.
Woman falls into freezer & dies
How can you do that? Wouldn't it have to be an awfully big freezer? Regardless, what a horrible way to die.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Police say a woman accidentally fell into her freezer and died before a friend found her and called authorities.
Colorado Springs Sgt. Tim Hogan says a woman called police Saturday morning to report her friend was dead in the freezer. Hogan says that an initial investigation makes it appear the woman fell into the freezer, then got trapped and suffocated before she could get out.
Foul play is not suspected. The woman was not immediately identified, and police didn't say how long the woman had been dead in the freezer before her friend found her.
Put all the food in a cooler, fill freezer with pots of hot water, & bath

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.

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
Buy frozen cocktail meatballs and
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.
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!

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.
Find a lawyer, find out where you would stand - sm
in the event of a divorce/separation, regarding custody, house, etc. Custody was my main concern as well since I lied on numerous occasions about the finances. Where I am I was told that would not factor in to the custody at all. I can prove that I am my kids caregiver 90% of the time, I ferry they around everywhere, help with homework, get ready for school, meet at busstop, etc. I could also point out my husband is an alcoholic, self treats his depression with alcohol instead of getting proper medical treatment, has threatend to kill himself (or me) numerous times (though he always says he was joking and did not mean it.....that is his standard answer to everything, or that he never said that). Now I do love him enough to deal with all that because deep down inside my DH is full of it, luckily for me, he has never followed through on anything he says he is going to do. But I thought my confession would be the straw that broke it all and send him over the edge. He still is angry with me, I am sure he will be for a long time, but is keeping it together pretty well, though he has said the stress was going to kill him, now he know how I felt I guess. I am sorry your husband is such a smuck. I feel like a dog sometimes with the sex demands, have to do it the night before he goes out of town....he will be traveling a lot for work for the next 3-4 months, which I am more than glad about, much calmer here then, though it gets tiring for me but as he is not really helping much right now it really won't be much of a change. As for yours going on 5 day weekends.....have you considered having him followed, sounds like there may be some infidelity afoot, and if so that would strengthen your case in the event of a divorce and custody I would think. Sounds a bit fishy going out until 1 a.m. and his frequent trips. My DH fishes too, but he goes 2 miles from here with one of our male neighbors, they shoot the breeze and he gets to unwind some which I encourage. Very rare weekends with a buddy of his, I am talking once every 2 years, which again is fine with me. Start keeping track of all you do, when he is home, where he supposedly goes, with whom, etc. He cannot show he will be a responsible dad if he is never there or never interacts with his own kids. My DH would probably suggest I take our older daughter and he the younger, spliting them up, he has the same perception, the oldest is mine, the youngest is his. Our younger daughter is much easier to deal with, our older daughter drives him nuts and she is only 10. My younger one (8) knows something has been going one though, and worries we will divorce, which she does not want. She is very perceptive for her years. I hope that if you do go the divorce route, which would actually probably be best in your situation, that it all works out for you and you get your fair share of assets, etc. Make sure before you do anything like that you have all your ducks in a row, so talk to divorce lawyer. I talked to one for 45 minutes, cost me $160 but was worth it to set my mind at ease. Good luck.
Or whip up some frozen fruity thing in the blender. Congrats! nm

yummy, just put in a crockpot.
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

Dinner Out
Usually once or twice a week with friends and/or the children.
What's for dinner??
Dinner
London broil on the grill with fried potatoes and onions and corn on the cob.
Dinner
I'm cooking up a pot of vegetable stew with Italian sausage. We top it with pesto and parm. I'm making cheddar buns to go along.
Dinner
Grilled cheese and turkey sandwich with a ceasar salad.
Probably just dinner
Either by ourselves or with our best friends, maybe rent a movie.
First dinner
I don't remember the first dinner I prepared for my then boyfriend, now husband...but I do remember the first dinner he ate at my house. It was butter beans, meatloaf, and fried potatos and cornbread! I was mortified when my mom asked him to stay then proceeded to give him the menu for the night. Well, to my disbelief, he absolutely loved butter beans...this was his favorite meal. I about died, being a 16 YO girl, but he loved it!
dinner
I'm making up a big pot of BBQ. You can usually get a pork loin on sale anywhere. I throw it in the slow cooker, cover it with water, and cook it for 24 hours. After that, I dump the water, pick out the fat, and shred the pork. I like to use sweet baby ray's original BBQ sauce.
This is inexpensive if you buy the pork loin on sale. I'm making some for a party tomorrow.
Usually 3-4 pounds of pork feeds 3 of us for about 3 days, unless one of us is really hungry. lol
Dinner
I will either have leftover vegetarian chili with cornbread, or leftover penne with cheese. I always cook enough to have leftovers because I hate cooking, especially everyday. The kids (13 and 20 year old girls) will probably have fast food. My 13 year old is a vegetarian like me so she will probably get cheese pizza or a veggie patty sandwich at Subway. My oldest with probably have McDonald's.
What's for dinner? Looking for inspiration.

What is or was for dinner? I'm hungry & want to fix something
Easter Dinner
Just read the post below about Easter dinner. I have a question I am almost embarrassed to ask - does anyone know an easy way to get the rind off the ham?
Need help with Easter dinner.
I am doing Easter at my house for the first time, as I am the only one with kids in my family. I am looking for something to do that is sort of traditional, but fun. My family does not like lamb, but all else if fair game. I would love any ideas to help me plan for my first real holiday feast!!! Thanks and hope you all have a great holiday!
What's for dinner tonight?
Sunday dinner
Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food. They'll come in and help with prep first. We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.
They've been cooking since about the age of 5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook. Cat
Should I serve something before dinner?
Ok group, it is now getting to be that time again when I have to start thinking of the big dinner spread I am planning to have. I will have ham and turkey with all the trimmings but my question is this - should I have appetizers when the guests arrive, some kind of drinks, wine/champagne or just what? I can put on a good dinner when it comes to the food and all but just wondering what to do prior to the dinner. Thanks so much!
