Lately, and something I wish I would’ve caught on to a whole lot sooner, is taking a page from the frozen section of the grocery store and making dinner semi-homemade. I.e. I take frozen ingredients, add some fresh, and voila, there’s dinner! Below you’ll find 7 of my go-to dinner ideas to make with frozen foods, plus a shot-out to the grocery store I found the frozen item at. And if you’re anything like me, you can’t just shop at one store. It takes a few these days to get what I need!

Easy shrimp pasta with cheese sauce! You know I have mine with veggie noodles, and the kids, well they’ll eat their pasta with NO shrimp and lots of cheese sauce. My simple cheese sauce involves Boursin cheese + a little pasta water or broth to make it saucy. Easy, creamy, and delicious!
