How Your Freezer Saved Dinner

You work full-time. You’re at the office all day and run errands during your lunch break. But the day doesn’t end when you clock out. You leave the office -- brave rush hour traffic -- and pick up the kids from practice, run a couple more errands and finally arrive home.

It’s dinner time. The kids are hungry, and so are you. You didn't scour the internet for those blessed 30 minute meals because time got away from you. Should you order a pizza? No, your family deserves better than delivery.

Then it hits you. You have a casserole in the freezer! Made over the weekend, you stored it to eat later.

A few important factors went into making this freezer meal miracle a reality. You found the best recipe. More importantly, you have a Frigidaire Gallery 2-in-1 Refrigerator/Freezer which kept your meal ready until now. With your freezer’s extra thick walls, your food stays frozen longer.

You also followed 4 handy tips to ensure your frozen meals taste fresh.

1. Use freezer storage bags
2. Wrap food in heavy duty aluminum foil
3. For bigger dishes (like a casserole), store in a glass baking dish with an airtight lid
4. Keep smaller recipe batches in mason jars

#Frigidaire has your back. When life is chaotic, trust your freezer. Cook meals over the weekend, freeze, defrost and wow your family every night. So next time you’re in the grocery store, put down the frozen pizza. You have the tools and know-how to make (and freeze) your own food at home.

Sleep Soundly...You Deserve It!

School has started. Let the chaos ensue! Homework, games and after-school activities -- all on top of your regular routine -- it’s exhausting for everyone. One of the most important things during the school year, and all year long, is a good night’s sleep. Your kids need sleep to rest their growing bodies and minds. You need sleep to re-energize. Sleep is the precious time when your body repairs and prepares for tomorrow.

The mattresses in your house are...OK. You know they were high quality when you bought them, but it’s been a decade or so. Time to upgrade because your family deserves the best.

You’ve heard of Certi-Pur Organic mattresses by Nature’s Spa. But what makes a mattress #organic? These environmentally conscious mattresses are made from natural latex and instantly conform to the shape of your body. You won’t toss and turn trying to get into the perfect position. Once you hit the bed, your new mattress will gently cradle you to sleep. The foam and latex mattress provides more support and pressure relief than a conventional foam mattress. You won’t have that feeling of falling into a sinkhole when you climb into bed.

Don’t gamble on sleep with an old mattress. Upgrade to a supportive, breathable mattress for every bed in your home. A Certi-Pur Organic mattress wins every time.

School is in session

Back to school. The three words you’ve longed to hear since summer started. And now? It’s finally here. You’re excited to have the kids in school again. School brings with it new friends, sleepovers, games and other school activities.

A new school year also means a new wardrobe. You went shopping and found the best deals for your kids. They have new clothes and a positive attitude about classes and seeing their friends.

But another reality dawned once the shopping bags were empty and the hamper filled to the brim with your new purchases. Laundry. So much laundry! And it’s not just a one-time thing. You’re going to be washing clothes, uniforms and jerseys. You need a washer that can handle all this washing. You need a Speed Queen. 

Why a #SpeedQueen? Because you can’t break ‘em! They are appliance royalty; tough, sturdy and streamline. You need that in a washer with all the laundry your family will amass. The Speed Queen has a mechanical action that moves more laundry through the water and a three-coat, commercial-grade finish that keeps your machine looking new for years to come. Another nice feature is the digital display, which shows when your laundry will be finished. No more guesswork.

Additionally, the smooth stainless steel tub is gentle on linens and won’t wear on fabric. Your family’s new clothes (including yours!) will stay clean and fresh for this school year and the next.
