If you prefer buying bags of frozen meals so you can whip up dinner on a moment's notice, you'll love the idea of making your own pre-made meals using high-quality, fresh ingredients. You can assemble them on the weekend and freeze them for a sophisticated, almost festive weeknight dinner. This recipe calls for freezing gumbo, a Cajun stew made with vegetables, chicken, and sausage. If needed, thaw the contents overnight, pop them into the slow cooker in the morning, and have a hot dinner waiting for you when you get home from work.
