I have recently discovered another advantage to freezer meals besides being able to eat a delicious dinner when I don't have energy to cook. I have three young children now and like many young children, they are not always the best about trying new things or eating their dinner. However, young children become more open to trying foods with repeated exposure, and it turns out that having multiple batches of the same thing in my freezer means repeated exposure. After the same meal has made enough appearances my kids will generally try it. After more appearances and trying the food, sometimes they even like it. Chicken Tikka Masala is the perfect example. My daughter was initially reluctant to try it, but after several exposures she has declared it her favorite meal. It's one of my favorites too.
