Revisiting the Frozen Dinners

The break room where I work is a dumping ground for unwanted magazines. Quite often, my co-workers will recycle the magazines they subscribe to by scattering them about the break room for people to either pick up and keep or just browse through while having lunch.

Every now and then, a Cooking Light magazine will catch my eye. One day last week, I picked up an issue because it seemed to have quite a few healthy foods that could easily be cooked in large batches. Whether they'd freeze and reheat well are another story. The recipes I'm going to try are Cheesy Canadian Bacon & Potato Casserole, Enchilada Casser-Ole! and Light-But-Hearty Tuna Casserole from the February/March 2009 issue. I'll need to modify them a little for them to appeal to my picky-eater husband, but they all sound pretty interesting.

In future posts, I'll give a recipe I've tried as a frozen dinner and review how well it did. I also welcome any suggestions from readers who also make their own frozen dinners.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
