Easy Freezer-Friendly Dinner Ideas for People Who Hate to Cook

Asked Dec 16, 2024 by MARGO S.

Hello Milk Street Team! I love your shows (TV, Radio +Podcast),

Here's a challenge:

I own a small business and two of our team members are a couple and they both HATE to cook. They actually fight about who will be responsible for getting dinner on the table every night. So... I was looking for some very quick and simple dinner ideas that I could pre-prepare and freeze so that I could pack them meals to pop in the oven when they get home and then give them the simple recipes so they could make them themselves.

Even more of a challenge ... Jenny does not like a mashup (meaning a stir-fry all mixed together with lots of veggies and meat/poultry or whatever will not work for her). Gary, her husband will eat anything. He is not picky at all.

Seven good ideas would be great. I am not aware of any food allergies, but anything over spicy or too "hot" could be an issue. Any direction you could provide is appreciated since I plan to give them this gift along with their Holiday Bonuses.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Margo from Philly, PA
