[quote=Anonymous]I am all about maximizing frozen products that can reheat quickly and turning them into something new. It's very useful to keep certain things in the freezer at all times for quick use in a pinch.

Keep a large bag of frozen corn kernels and frozen peas in the fridge for quick microwaving for a couple of minutes, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper... Instant veggie side. The peas also taste amazingly fresh.

Tofu is also very quick to prepare if you have it handy. I usually keep a packaged block of tofu in the fridge at all times, for that reason. You can usually buy a pack that stays fresh for a month. Stir fry with whatever vegetable is handy (or those frozen peas, if you have no fresh ones) and garlic and oil and salt. Add oyster sauce or sriracha if you're feeling fancy.

Salad is also always easy and quick. I think the key to making it taste like fancy salad rather than boring home salad is to chop it finer than they come in the pre-washed bags, use "fancy" additions like jarred roasted red peppers or marinated artichokes or kalamata olives and make your own dressing (even just lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper are good).

Chicken nuggets are also an easy addition to a salad or a quesadilla. Chop it into pieces before adding and it's not like a chicken nugget at all.
