Hot meals
There are times I desperately want a hot meal with no effort. Here are some ideas 💡
Literally one of the best pizzas on the market. I love to butter the crust and give the whole thing 5 minutes to cool. Yum!
Red Baron Pepperoni Brick Oven Frozen Pizza, 17.89 oz
I ate these everyday for 6 years straight. I am very obsessed with this brand.

Okay, I know it doesn't look like much. But if you don't mind making your rice, this is crazy good.
Great Value Orange Chicken, 26 oz
I have been eating this same meal for the last 10 years. Even when I was vegetarian I'd just pick out the chicken. It's so good!

Eating out is expensive. Period. Here are some affordable places to grab food that don't suck as well.
Well made pizza and deals all the time. Just check your email and you might stumble upon a no cooking night.
Domino's Pizza
Barberitos is WAY cheaper than Chipotle and much better too. I love just chomping on the chips and queso
Barberitos
If you get a big enough plate, you could split it with your hubby or your little ones.
Panda Express
I know it's not healthy, but they have $4-7 Biggie Bags. You get a good amount of food and drinks at that price per person.
Menu
Cici's Pizza allows you to grab a pizza and walk out. It's so easy, so effortless, and pretty tasty. Not top tier, but it's pizza 🍕
Cicis Pizza
Desserts
Dessert isn't a requirement, but it is something I adore. Here are some easy deserts that taste like grandma made it.
Cakey, fudgey, and nice and cold. I usually have this as my birthday cake every year. I'm not baking my own cake. Are you kidding?!
Pepperidge Farm Frozen Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake ...
I had this at a church event once. Sara Lee has been in business since the 50s and I can taste why.
Sara Lee® French Style Cheesecake 7" Strawberry 26oz
Literally you can crumble it on ice cream or you can eat it straight. It's Oreos dude!
OREO
Underrated cookie. They are so decadent, crisp, and pair so well with hot cocoa.
Milano - Milk Chocolate Cookies
I adore Outshine's popsicles. The fruit flavor pops in your mouth, it's real fruit, and it smells heavenly.
