Jen
Meatloaf (1 pan) Thaw then warm in oven until center reads 155 degrees.
Rouladen (1 pan, about 5 meat rolls, 3-6 oz. each) Thaw and warm covered until you are certain that the center is warm. May need to add a little broth since the gravy is thickened and might scorch.
Rosemary Roasted Chicken and Potatoes (1 pan w/ 4.5 lb. chicken and 2.5 lbs. roasted red potatoes. It is completely cooked and you may want to watch it as it warms, but keep it covered. There was very little juice in the bottom of the pan so you might want to add chicken broth to the bottom while it warms.

Teressa
Chicken Parmigiana (1 bag--about 7 breasts, 3-cup bag of red sauce and package of sliced mozzarella) Thaw and place in greased baking dish. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Pour red sauce evenly over each piece and continue baking for 10 minutes. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each piece and bake until melted.
Feta and Spinach Lasagna Rolls (1 bag, 10 rolls each) Place lasagna rolls in a greased baking dish (8 rolls fit in 9-inch square dish), cover with foil and thaw in refrigerator.
