One of our favorites is taquitos from the freezer sections dipped in refried beans and hot sauce. Another favorite is pasta with jar sauce. And every once in a while when I need a LOT of slack I'll pop a frozen pizza into the oven. ; )Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387755027721718430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14881033.post-50755393609963033502009-01-13T18:05:00.000-05:002009-01-13T18:05:00.000-05:00My fall-back meal is spaghetti with meat sauce and...My fall-back meal is spaghetti with meat sauce and ceasar salad.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618165286175358078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14881033.post-38772960220216797392009-01-13T17:03:00.000-05:002009-01-13T17:03:00.000-05:00great idea!

I have to admit on my time crunched days I tend to make hot dogs, not very nutrious I know but it is easy to cook them up & serve with a veggie or some chips and we are done. I like your idea about the frozen ravoli though, I have not bought them because I was afraid of what they tasted like, so I'm going to add that to the grocery list, my kids love pasta & it's easy:)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101237727996970670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14881033.post-88406001440067205482009-01-13T08:50:00.000-05:002009-01-13T08:50:00.000-05:00Grocery meal day I let the kids get a frozen meal,...Grocery meal day I let the kids get a frozen meal, but that is the only time I do. :DSherry @ Lamp Unto My Feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997081715350310581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14881033.post-25254902003968387722009-01-13T08:32:00.000-05:002009-01-13T08:32:00.000-05:00I agree.

I haven't been going because I am trying to save money.

This is an excellant idea. We often do a take and bake pizza, or subs, or left overs is there are any. Salads also come in handy when using salad mix, and get some steak or chiken fahita strips frozen and cook them up quick and throw them on our salad, and wallah, a ready meal in minutes!Omah's Helping Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574312097076548681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14881033.post-55176386831504648672009-01-12T22:42:00.000-05:002009-01-12T22:42:00.000-05:00That really is a good idea.
