Chicken & Rice Freezer Bowls
Vivian builds freezer-friendly chicken, vegetable, and rice bowls that reheat into complete, comforting meals. Saucy ground chicken tops layers of vegetables and rice, making lunch or dinner something to look forward to—not a TV dinner fallback.
Frozen Burritos
Vivian turns leftover Mexican takeout into freezer-ready burritos that reheat beautifully and keep food waste at bay. Make tomorrow’s lunch better than yesterday’s leftovers.
Bow Tie Pasta Bake
This Bow Tie Pasta Bake is an easy, comforting casserole inspired by Miss Lily Hardy’s “Kill Hungry.” Made with ground beef, sauerkraut, and plenty of melted cheese, it’s a creamy, tangy twist on traditional hamburger casserole—family-friendly, weeknight-ready, and full of flavor.
