Frozen Dinner Diner: Scouting Out New Ideas

I can be a sucker for magazines when I'm in the checkout line at Dollar General. I never buy magazines at any other store, but for some reason, I can't seem to leave Dollar General without one.

One day last week, I saw a Taste of Home magazine called "Freezer Meals" in the racks, and before I knew it, I had it in my hands to purchase.

I haven't had a chance to go through it yet, but I hope to find quite a few options for my homemade frozen dinners, because I feel like I've gotten stuck in a rut. We most often have stew.

I also welcome any ideas from readers who also make their own frozen dinners, and I'd be glad to post their contributions here for others to read as well. Just email them here. (P.S. Be sure to include how long you reheat the dish in a microwave.)

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.
