Frozen Dinner Diner: Eggs and Taters

Here's my first recipe offering. It's very simple, which is what I look for. I welcome suggestions from readers as well. It's loosely based on one of my favorite frozen dinners made by Smart Ones.

Eggs and Taters
(Make 6 frozen dinner)

2 pounds of potatoes*
2 cartons of egg substitute
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cups shredded cheddar
Cooking spray
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Peel potatoes, and cut into cubes. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange potato cubes in a single layer on cookie sheet. Put the potatoes in the oven and set a timer for 20 minutes.
  3. When the timer goes off, flip the potatoes with a spatula, but allow them to continue cooking while you cook the eggs.
  4. Pour both cartons of egg substitute in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir.
  5. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium temperature.
  6. Pour in egg mixture, and stir occasionally until all liquid is solid.
  7. Remove potatoes from oven.
  8. Divide eggs into 6 frozen dinner containers. Divide potatoes across the 6 containers. Sprinkle 1/8 cup of cheese over each.

Reheating:
Cook uncovered for four minutes on high. (May need to adjust settings for your own microwaves.)

The Verdict:
This dish reheats very well.

*I have no potato preference; I just buy whatever is on sale.

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.
