Every once in a while, I broil and london broil and slice it up thinly
and freeze the slices in individual packages (about four or five slices
per package). They make for a quick entree and simply warm up in the
microwave oven.

Meatloaf is also a great thing to freeze, and you can make it low fat by
combining half ground turkey with half 90% ground beef.

For sides, how about those packages of Green Giant vegies?
