By Jennifer Elliott –
I recall frozen food from my childhood as a compartmentalized tin plate with chicken, a pea and carrot combo, mashed potatoes and a doughy cobbler-like substance in the center top section as the special dessert. Luckily, frozen options have improved and multiplied over the last couple decades.
March is National Frozen Food Month, so check out this list of our readers’ favorites from the freezer.
