Frozen Dinner Diner: Pizza Noodle Bake

Here is another recipe I have not yet tried but will in the coming week. Like last week's recipe, this one comes from the Taste of Home Freezer Meals mini-magazine. I'll update with a photo and information on how well it reheats as a frozen dinner once I can.

Pizza Noodle Bake

10 ounces uncooked egg noodles
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package (3 1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
2. Add pizza sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Drain noodles.
3. In a greased 13-by-9-inch baking dish, layer half of the noodles, beef mixture, cheeses and pepperoni. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
Makes 6 servings.

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.
