It’s easy to feel like frozen meals need to be made as is. Most frozen foods taste great on their own so it just doesn’t cross our mind to change them up with ingredients at home but there are several benefits to doing so. A few that pop into my head include
1)Adding fruits, veggies or other healthy ingredients can make them more healthy and/or balanced
2)Adding ingredients can stretch them to feed more people
3) you can personalize the meal to your own tastes
4) Adding new ingredients can alter the flavor, making your old favorites seem new again
Michelina’s has been encouraging people to participate in Make It Your Michelina’s by sharing which ingredients they add to Michelina’s produdcts to make meals theirs. It’s fun to look around and see what meals other people have made from Michelina’s products. A few of my favorites:
Stir-fry with hot dogs, peas and corn added. If using frozen or canned veggies, this entire meal would be SO quick and easy to make. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner in a pinch.
Wheels & cheese with onions, mushrooms and lil smokies sausage (cooked in veggie oil). I love sausage and I bet it tastes incredible when paired with these cheesy wheels!
Michelina’s Santa Fe Rice & Cheese placed into whole wheat dough. I love this one because bread is so filling – these could really stretch the Michelina’s to feed several people.

I like the convenience of frozen food but not always the taste. I bet adding fresh stuff makes it better! Michelina’s has some yummy looking stuff on their website too!
Love the idea of mixing fresh into frozen meals 🙂 Great tip!
