“(I can’t imagine that foods are manufactured for a regular oven, but instruct against a toaster oven, would have any other reason...)”

Me neither.

Defrost them a bit and throw them into “a toasted oven approved” pan! LOL.

Miss your thread much.

Been unemployed for 3 months and have 2 freezers full of food and trying to spend less than 10 bucks a month on food. Your great thread would tempt me to not behave.

So far so good.

When I was a kid gas prices started going up and our neighbor, who was a trucker, told us stock up on food cuz food prices will soar.

The moment I heard our “Resident” closed down our energy supply, stocked up major. Cooked like crazy.

Thought for the next year I would just be defrosting premade meals, not using anything shelved, but broke down yesterday.... Kraft Mac and Cheese withdrawals did me in.

So would your much appreciated thread.

Thank you much. And then some.

(Been a big fan of the cooking thread since Chef Carlos)

I think that soon, it might (unfortunately) be a good idea if I moved to budget recipes. Everybody is feeling the hurt at the grocery store. :-)

Being unemployed really stinks, but if you are like we were a few years ago, well, we KNEW God had our back! Eventually my husband found permanent work after doing “gigs” for several months. I pray the same works for you very soon.
