There’s always going to be days when you don’t have the time or energy to cook, or weeks where you don’t have time to fully meal prep. When that happens, it’s always nice to have some prepared meals ready in your freezer than you can pop in the oven and have ready to go. Here are a few good things you can get at any grocery store to stock your freezer.
Chicken Pot Pie
Or any kind of pot pie, really. It’s a whole, filling meal with vegetables, carbs, and chicken all in one item so you don’t need to worry about extra sides, and the crust and soup filling are perfect for warming up in the oven. You can also save half for the next day in the fridge.
Curry and Rice
One type of meal pack you can usually find in stores is frozen curry with rice. There’s lots of different kinds of curry or similar dishes you can get, but all you have to do is zap it in the microwave and eat. Again, this is great because it’s a whole meal in one go and you don’t need to wait for the oven to reheat. There’s also a good bet you’ll find lots of vegan options.
Pasta
There’s plenty of pasta meals from companies such as Stouffer’s that you can find at the supermarket. These are great for when you’re feeling like something heavy and comforting, and for sharing. The sauce is creamy and all you need is a microwave.
