#PlanAhead & Be Prepared: Family Size Dinners
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.
I can not believe that we are already in the middle of November. I mean, seriously, how did that happen already? As the days tick on by, we are getting awfully close to the holidays which means lots of company coming over. And sometimes they can come unexpectedly. You don’t want to be caught without a dinner when your Black Friday shopping pals decide to stay for a bite!
During this crazy time, I try to keep my freezer stocked with some family sized dinners so that I am not caught unprepared.
A family favorite is the Stouffer’s Family Sized Lasagna. Just pop it in the oven, visit with your guests for a while, and dinner is done! Add a small side salad and some bread and you have a quick and easy meal for a crowd.
Maybe your family is more like mine and prefers pizza for a quick dinner. I always try to keep a few in the freezer for those nights when I don’t feel like cooking or simply forget to plan dinner at all. Frozen pizzas have gotten me out of dinner-time jam quite a few times!
And we don’t just stop at dinner! There’s always some type of ice cream in the freezer. End your family meal by satisfying everyone’s sweet tooth. Try a seasonal ice cream like Edy’s Peppermint Wonderland or a Very Merry Eggnog.

I LOVE peppermint ice cream. It is especially yummy in hot chocolate – Bon Apetit style.
We always have ice cream in the freezer! I also like to keep a couple of Gluten Free pizza crusts, so I can throw on some toppings for a quick dinner when I’m in a bind.
When I was growing up, my mom served the Stouffer’s French Bread pizza whenever she and my Dad went out for the night.
I’ve never heard of peppermint ice cream before! It actually sounds good – and I’m not one to experiment outside of chocolate, lol!
I love that its time for peppermint ice cream again! and having some frozen meals in the freezer really is helpful!
I really need to try that peppermint ice cream!
Why did I read before eating? Yum!
These are all great to have in the freezer for those last minute or late-staying guests! And yes, I’m now hungry too!
Thanks for the reminder; I have a huge number of guests coming the entire week of Thanksgiving and I’d better stock up now to feed them!
I need to stock up on these items for all of these football watching guests we have weekly. I bet they would love everything on the menu and I wouldn’t have to put in so much effort. Thanks! #client
Looks like a meal my family would love! #client
