We’ve gotten into a sort of routine when we go grocery shopping. We start at the produce section, then work our way through the frozen foods section towards the dairy aisle at the back of the store. The refrigerated dairy case is where all of the good stuff is. My International Delight Iced Mocha, butter (Mmmmm, butter…..), eggs, milk, cheese – many of the staples of our day to day cooking.
What some people don’t realize realize is how many of the items in the dairy aisle can actually be used to help you make easy home meals. Pick up a can of crescent rolls, some shredded cheese, and bam! you have home made pizza pockets. Looking for a great afternoon snack? Pick up some refrigerated cookie dough. Or maybe you’re making a tasty appetizer for dinner or a party. With a carton of eggs, you can make some tasty bacon cheddar eggs.
The National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA), a non-profite trade association representing the frozen and refrigerated foods industry, is encouraging us to take a second look at the refrigerated dairy aisle. In fact, there’s a lot more than just milk, cheese, and eggs in that aisle. Cookie dough, juices, those awesome little brownie bites, iced tea, yogurt, potatoes and other side dishes – the list goes on. And with all of these foods, you can create a quick and easy dish for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert!
I love trying out new recipes, especially recipes that help me put delicious food on the table easily. By shopping the refrigerated dairy aisle, I can make something using simple, farm-grown ingredients.
The Easy Home Meals website offers recipes, meal prep tips (and even a $10,000 sweepstakes) and is a great place to discover new dishes to create. You can also check out The Dish Diary Tumbler site, as well as Easy Home Meals on Pinterest, Twitter, and on Facebook for more ideas for Easy Home Meals.
