Time to Buy Those Individual Aluminum Tins

Time to Buy Those Individual Aluminum Tins

I see pot pies, blueberry crumbles, and spaghetti and meatballs in my future.

I had just talked to my family about freezing pot pies individually.  Looks like someone else had the same idea.
How many of you have frozen mini meals that can be popped into the microwave or oven as needed?
Woulds appreciate any additional ideas.

Nabisco Classics French Vanilla Creme

Nabisco Classics French Vanilla Creme

I love cookies that smell of vanilla and butter. On most occasions, I make them myself. I also happen to be married to a man that loves bring in cookies from the grocery store. He brought Nabisco Classics French Vanilla Creme home yesterday and it seemed promising. What drew me in was "Classics". This really had me believing they would taste like cookies from when I was younger. I pulled the cookie apart and tasted cookie only, leaving the creme on the other side. The cookie was reminiscent of vaguely vanilla flavored cardboard. I decided to brave the vanilla creme center, which was nothing more than colored shortening with sugar. Not even the good kind. The filling coated my tongue in an greasy mess. The crunch was nothing short of teeth shattering. Even dipped in milk, it was disturbing how long it took to soften. Never more.
