Answer 1

You could try getting a few of those Chicken Voila dinners - they take 10 mins or so to cook on the stove and they aren't terribly unhealthy.  

Answer 2

Go to Iceland as most of their products will cook from frozen.  Perhaps a nice apple pie, or some chips and burgers...

Answer 3

Hot pockets

Chicken Nuggets

French Fries

Things to make tacos (taco kit, salsa, ground beef)

Answer 4

Hi, if your grandaughter is old enough, have you tried buying frozen pizza bases, chopping up some fresh toppings and getting her to make her own pizza. My son always loved doing this and would eat the lot. There are so many things that you can buy and cook from frozen, the list is endless.  

Answer 5

How old is your garanddaughter? If she is quite young it should be easy to persuade her to try lots of things.

Grandmas are always supposed to have loads of delicious food ready at a minutes notice!  Cook things in bulk and then freeze it,Lasagne,casseroles,pies.etc.Loads of options.

Answer 6

I love the chicken potstickers! You buy a huge bag frozen at BJ's for $10. It's a yellow bag with a panda on it. Very good when dipped in soy sauce!  

Answer 7

You can buy lots of ready meals you can cook from frozen but personally I find they taste chemically.

A lot of 'good old fashioned' food can be frozen and the reheated from frozen. Things like shepherds pie, steak and kidney pie.

I live on my own so I occasionally do a roast dinner. I will eat one portion and then freeze the rest (remember to slice the meat as a whole joint takes too long to warm up).

You can also buy frozen veg and have a couple of jars of curry sauce int he cupboard. Veggi curry in about 15 mins.

I also buy fish, wrap it in a foil parcel with herbs, a bit of butter and maybe some mushrooms or spring onions. Freeze the packet and cook from frozen (still in the foil) in a steamer.

Answer 8

frozen soft pretzels, hot pockets, jalapeno poppers, pre-made loaded potato skins
