March is an exciting time. It\u2019s National Frozen Food Month, and you\u2019ve got a touch of madness with St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebrations right in the middle. For many of us, we\u2019re even starting to see early hints of spring. There is no better way to combine these festivities than with a delicious, simply prepared, green<\/strong> meal for you and your family.<\/p>\n

My secret weapon to get my family through this month\u2019s excitement is a freezer stocked with staple meals and starters. You\u2019ll never face that sinking feeling when you are heading home and realize there\u2019s no dinner plan in place, and better yet, you can drum up a festive holiday meal to bring some easy excitement to the table. Here are a couple of my favorite weekday staples.<\/p>\n

With frozen broccoli and shrimp in the freezer, you can quickly put together nutritious (and green!) Garlicky Shrimp and Broccoli with Meyer Lemon<\/a>. Need something good to pack for lunch? Salmon and Sweet Pea Salad<\/a> comes together quickly, because you stocked up on frozen salmon filets and frozen sweet (green!) peas.<\/p>\n

And, if St. Patrick\u2019s Day \u2013 or any day of the year \u2013 calls for a pizza night, pull out your favorite frozen pizza, chopped onions, spinach and some turkey sausage crumbles \u2013 all from the freezer\u2014 to make yourself one seriously amazing pizza that no one will believe wasn\u2019t delivered! I first came up with the recipe for Pizza with Turkey Sausage, Spinach and Pesto<\/a> on a wintery weekend morning and didn\u2019t feel like waiting until dinner to try it out. My family gladly took it on for brunch, and it\u2019s now in the regular rotation for any time of day. Doctoring up a plain, frozen pizza in endless ways is so much fun and so easy with any variety of frozen veggies and proteins on hand. I am positive that unleashing my kids\u2019 creativity is going to result in some pretty spectacular pizza nights to come. Try customizing with additional green ingredients such as kale, arugula, green peppers or olives for an added bonus on St. Patty\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

The frozen food aisles today are more abundant and inspiring than ever, filled with wholesome, nutritious and delicious options for you and your family. Spend some time looking behind those glass doors, and you\u2019ll be amazed by the range of available foods. Whatever items you use most often or choose to get creative with \u2013 like green vegetables for St. Patrick\u2019s Day, pizzas, meatballs, berries and more, give them a whirl in honor of Frozen Food Month. If they turn utilizing your freezer into an Olympic sport, I plan to take the Gold!<\/p>\n
