My Kid Eats Frozen Food, But Only When I Do This…

Some tasty frozen food that I doctored.

My kids eats frozen food.

You probably wouldn’t expect me to admit that, but here I am… admitting that. Frozen food? Ewww. But, yeah.

Here’s the short of it.

I’m a mom. I make most things from scratch three times a day. I’m effin’ tired. The end.

There, see? I need a break and I need something at least somewhat decent to feed my kid because she’s just not into green smoothies or protein shakes that much (<– those are quick things that’s why I mention them).

Enter: Amy’s Frozen Mushroom Risotto

Frozen. Food.

Here’s the thing. It doesn’t have any canola oil in it. (<– you know how hard it is to find frozen food without canola?). And, although this particular frozen food has a cheese in it that is probably not grass-fed, I’m not freaking out about it.

Here’s how I make Amy’s more acceptable. I add things to it, like grass-fed butter, and I don’t microwave it.

I get a little soup / sauce pot. (I adore that little pot. I use it to heat water for tea, make sauces, and, well, as you can see, I use it to warm up frozen food from the store.)

Isn’t it adorbs?

I add a few splashes of homemade bone broth and a couple tablespoons of grass-fed unsalted butter. The bone broth adds nutrition and helps it cook in the pot, and the butter adds good fat and nutrition.

Small pot. Bone broth. Butter.

Frozen food puck.

Ooh. Idea. I could add Amy’s frozen foods to my camping list I wrote about here.

Nifty glass lid on cute little pot on induction hot plate. Love induction.

I should note that I cook this thing over low heat. (BTW induction hot plates are great. I transformed my kitchen with them.)

Frozen food made more acceptable with butter and broth.

PS. There seem to be some decent frozen options out there these days, with grass-fed meats, no canola oil, etc. I haven’t tried them but it’s interesting to see the options coming to market.Similar Posts:
