The only time I've ever gone into the frozen food section is to pick up Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Haagen Daz ice cream. But with a freezer at my disposal, and so many meals to cook, I thought, why not?! After tasting the good, the bad, and the just-not-enough-food! meals, here's what I would suggest:
1. Amy's Kitchen, frozen meals (try the lasagna)
2. Trader Joe's Chicken Tikka Masala-- spicy and delicious (I'd suggest you make a salad on the side though... its not too much food)
When I find more delicious, frozen meals, I'll write!
I'm a college student, who's trying to feed herself healthy, inexpensive, and YUMMY meals in the thirty minutes she has between class and library, study time. This blog has some tips (and reminders to myself!) of how to accomplish this.

Clean-Out-Your-Frige Dinner Burrito
It will have been be a full three weeks, this Sunday, when I finally make it to the grocery store. Running home after a quick interview in Dupont Circle, I realized that I only had 35 minutes to make myself dinner before my next class at 7, which clearly didn't leave enough time for a marketing excursion. After rooting around in my freezer and fridge-section (I've been relegated to 1/6 of our medium-sized refrigerator), here's what I found:
1 frozen wheat tortilla
1 frozen chicken sausage
frozen spinach
1/4 of an onion
1 egg (I literally only had 1 egg- pathetic!)
(aged... not by choice) cherry tomatoes
A breakfast/dinner burrito was the easiest solution. I quickly defrosted and crisped-up the sausage, took it out, and sauteed the onion with a handful of spinach (add salt and pepper) in the pan. I then cracked the egg on top and scrambled it all together, chopped up the sausage, halved the tomatoes and wrapped it up. Delish!! And I made it to class on time...
