Keeping food safely is one of the keys to balancing your budget and your food options. Enter frozen foods, a great addition to your ongoing rotation of kitchen staples. You can find great frozen vegetables, frozen fruits, ice cream and other frozen food essentials online or at your local Star Market.

Let’s start with breakfast. You can pick up frozen waffles and frozen pancakes to make things easier in the mornings. The kids will love being able to sit down, add their favorite toppings and then get out the door to school. It is a fun change from just serving cereal or even oatmeal.

There’s a wide variety of frozen foods that can work well at lunchtime, including pizza, chicken nuggets, and burritos. Throw chicken nuggets into the air fryer and pair it with salad or French fries. You can also pick up frozen French fries to go with it and make lunch even easier.

Dinner and frozen foods also go hand in hand. Frozen meatballs can get thawed out and turned over in a quick sauce. Meatballs can go with rice, potatoes, or just about anything that strikes your fancy. There’s a world of options waiting for you in the frozen food section.
