    HUNGRY?Thinkoutside the icebox.

    A little ingenuity can

    transform ordinary

    frozen foods into meals

    you cant wait to eat.

    Just because a frozen meal comes in its own little preportioned

    dish doesnt mean it has to stay that wayor taste that way. Its

    time to thaw the cold war between smart, healthy eaters and the

    easiest foods in the world to prepare.

    Sure, we live in the golden age of the organic, free-range,

    and grass-fed, where a frozen block of peas will seem about

    as cool as Dick Cheney. But we also dont have the time to

    chase down a chicken and cook it in a pot. The solution?

    Freshen up your frozen. With a few simple moves, for example,you can turn a plain Lean Cuisine Fettuccini Alfredo into an

    epicurean delight with fresh spinach and sauted shrimpin

    only 60 seconds more prep time.

    The fact is, you can eat great in less time with these entres,

    soups, and easy-as-pie desserts. Now thats cool.
