Frozen Meals
By Cathy Pearl

¹     In the freezer section of a store, there are hundreds of frozen meals to pick from. There are foods for people who have a big appetite. There are also foods for people who are trying to lose weight. The choices seem endless.

²     One of the first things you have to figure out is what you like to eat. There are simple choices in frozen meals, like pizza and macaroni and cheese. There are full meals that include desserts. Buy what you like.

³     Frozen meals need to be kept frozen until you are ready to cook them. This means you will have to have room in your freezer for the food that you buy. One good thing about a lot of frozen meals is that they are sold in boxes. The boxes are easy to stack and store in the freezer.

⁴     Other frozen meals are sold in bags. The bags will take up more room than the boxes. This means they will take more room to store. The bags of frozen meals usually feed more than one person. Buy these if you aren't eating alone.

⁵     You can also buy bags of frozen meals if you like leftovers. You can eat a portion one night and save the rest for a different night. You can also eat the leftovers for lunch the next day.
