Key Points
When the parents are hungry, they can plop the frozen soup into a pan for five minutes until it's defrosted, add their favorite noodles of choice (I like these, Anellini by Rustichella d'Abruzzo noodles), and within 10 minutes, they have a comforting chicken soup that's way better than anything from the can or grocery store...
Along with plenty of ice cream and sprinkles, make your favorite cookie dough recipe here's mine freeze it on a sheet pan, then once they're cold, put them into a bag (using this technique) so that mom and dad can heat up a cookie any time they need a sugary pick-me-up...
A scoop, like this Norpro model, makes quick work of evenly sized cookie dough and meatballs.For storage, I always use plastic pint containers..
You can't really ask for more than that.If you want to reduce plastic, you can absolutely use glass containers, just be careful if you're going from freezer to oven, as some glass containers will crack with the temperature change.Toaster ovens are essential for quick, easy, and mess-free cooking..
A dash and spoonful of these will wake up all kinds of frozen meals.If you have some time, make homemade pickles and jam and store them in airtight jars.Don't forget the mac and cheese!.
