TODAY on MHTV at 11:00:Say goodbye to the supermarket freezer aisle. With a little planning, your freezer can be your BFF in getting dinner on the table in a flash. Today, I’m making dishes that can go straight from freezer to oven — and when I make my version of those frozen meals, I only use the best ingredients. I’ll show how to make flavor-packed chicken pocket pies, and pot sticker dumplings and profiteroles that are surprisingly easy to make at home. Cook them up when you have the time, then freeze and enjoy later. More from the show.

Lucy, You really got me hooked up with my cravings! I like the part where you said, “Your freezer can be your BFF in getting dinner on the table in a flash”. I can totally relate to that!

I saw a recipe on mad hungry for cream puffs and they froze them and used as needed. I lost that recipe and would like it again.Thanks, Connie

I LOVED LOVED LOVED these! I made mine with sausage and threw in some finely chopped carrots. The first batch is all gone and I’m wishing I had made more! My family was astounded they were homemade. Next time I’m using the low sodium soy sauce though. The stuff I had was like popping a salt lick in your mouth! Thanks again. I love your recipes.
