OK, I am going to have a new baby in a couple of weeks and I need to have a list of things to make that require no thawing or planning ahead of time but still at least partially satisfy hunger pains- so here goes. I plan to add to this list as I think of new things, and if you have any ideas, please add them in the comments!
Ravioli with Marinara Sauce
Serve with frozen garlic bread (Texas Toast) and a green salad. Freeze the fresh raviolis (or tortellini), buy them on sale.
Meatball Subs
Microwave and then broil frozen meatballs, put on hamburger or hot dog buns, add marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Serve with a pasta-roni and a green salad.
Chili Cheese Fries
Make a can of chili, pour on top of cooked frozen french fries. Sprinkle cheddar on top. Can also do this with nachos. Definitely not the most figure-friendly idea, but if you throw a green salad next to it- that will cancel out the rest, right?
Spaghetti with Meatballs
Use frozen meatballs and jarred marinara sauce. Serve with frozen garlic bread and a green salad. So easy but I forget that this is an option and rarely do it.
4-Way Bean
Make spaghetti, top with a can of kidney beans (optional) and then a can of heated up chili, and then sprinkle with finely shredded cheddar. An old Cincinnati Chili standby.
Breakfast for Dinner
Beg Jason to make pancakes, french toast, waffles, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, veggie sausage. Add some fresh fruit if you can find it, or open a can of fruit if really necessary. Or if you're really in a bind, go for cereal with milk.
Pizza BagelsSpread some marinara sauce on top of bagel halves, then top with mozzarella cheese, and bake for 10-12 minutes at 400. Can do this with bread if you are really hard up, but bagels freeze so it should be manageable as is. Don't forget to slice the bagels before you freeze them!
