More on Frozens

On my work days, I don't often have time to put together a nice meal unless much of it is prepared in advance. Some days, I don't even have time to prepare in advance. Then the frozen options come in handy.

Two weeks ago, when I had some time, I chopped a double-quantity of pizza toppings (onion, green pepper, and mushroom). I put half on a pizza that evening and the other half in a tupperware in the freezer.

At 5pm today, I took the tupperware out of the freezer, emptied it into a bowl (shown), microwaved the contents for one minute, and then spread them on this evening's pizza. Quick & easy dinner! All I needed to do was press out the Trader Joe's whole wheat crust, grate the cheese, and open a jar of sauce. (Since the oven was already going, I also tossed some frozen green beans in a pie pan with cooking spray and roasted them alongside the pizza for a well-rounded meal.)
