Potstickers or Dumplings
My family adores dumplings and potstickers.
We eat them a couple of times a month, if not on a weekly basis.
Theyre also delicious cooked into asoupor stir-fry.
But lest we forget breakfast, our daughter even makes them for her morning meal.
I always have cooked rice in the freezer to use as a base.
Then I dump some thawed cooked rice and mixed veggies into the pan.
I also use this frozen veggie blend in soups and chicken pot pie.

Meatballs
Cooking a pot of pasta and pairing it withjarred marinara sauceis a no-brainer for most people.
To give the meal more staying power, I cook up some frozen meatballs.
Pizza
I have a confession to make.
I kind of love frozen pizza.
We also like thecauliflower crustpizza with roasted veggies.
(Our daughter hates bell peppers but she likes this pizza, go figure!)
Wild Salmon
We eat so much more fish since I started stocking it in our freezer.
If I think ahead, Ill cook extra fish to turn intosalmon cakes.
Ever since, Ive kept a sleeve of them in our freezer.
Plus theyre made with grass-fed beef, which is raised in a way thatmay help mitigate climate change.
Yasso Frozen Yogurt Bars
OK, OK, I know this isnt dinner, but whats dinner without dessert?
My husband and daughter have sweet tooths, so I typically have a box of these in the freezer.
They even saved a dinner party once!
So I pulled out a box of these frozen yogurt bars as an alternative and everyone was so excited.
