Leftovers Makeover

Okay, I have been talking about doing this for months, and I finally have. My boys love those gross Kid Cuisines frozen meals. I'm talking fake chicken, mushy mac-n-cheese, heated bubbly plasticy pudding. Why do they love it? Because it's in a cute tray and it comes with dessert. Well, those cute trays are reusable. I am filling the compartments with an entree and a side... and of course a dessert. The dessert is what will make this work. Top the whole thing with Press and Seal (NOT cling wrap. That stuff will either fall of or all the stuff will mix together because it won't seal each section separately.), label them, and stick them in the freezer. I'll have to perfect the reheating process to see what can be paired with what. So far, I'm very pleased with the result. Today I did Chicken and Dumplins with steamed broccoli. I added a little water to the broccoli section to keep it from scalding. I will probably end up having to remove the broccoli until later in the reheat, coming to terms with the fact that those insanely complicated directions on the back of the Kid Cuisines are probably necessary and not put there just to be evil. I didn't have anything exceptionally yummy for dessert this time, so I'll wait until I make brownies tonight and add one to each tray.
