"When I was a kid and thinking about what I wanted to be when I grew up, and what city I'd want to live in, and how cute my apartment would be, I didn't yet realize what adulthood really means: cooking all your meals. Then, when you have a family, the amount of cooking just balloons. If you have a family and are trying to eat on a budget, meaning takeout is usually not an option, it's so much f*cking cooking."
"My husband and I have loved Bibigo's frozen chicken and fried rice, but their dumplings are the real standout product from the lineup. The sauce they come with is so good, and the instructions on the bag help you get that perfect tender-but-crispy outer layer. And for those of you who shop at Wegmans, our editor-in-chief says their chicken dumplings are stellar, too."
"TJ's freezer aisle is full of hits, and one Scary Mommy editor swears by the gnocchi al gorgonzola. Think pillowy potato puffs covered in a nutty, aromatic gorgonzola cream sauce. Serve it with a bagged salad and call it a night. You have to love a freezer meal that includes everything you need, and this one from Trader Joe's includes both the jasmine rice base and a delicious vegan green curry to top it with."
Freezer meals offer quick, affordable alternatives to takeout for busy households trying to stretch a budget.

Trader Joe's frozen vegan green curry contains jasmine rice and a spicy curry base for a complete, ready-to-heat meal.
