    How do you recommend re-heating these meals after frozen? Would a slow cooker work? If so, would you suggest thawing first?

      Hi Hillary, depending on the recipe you can reheat it in a slow cooker (soups, curries, chilis). You could also use an oven or a microwave for things like falafel or meatballs. Thawing could be helpful, it just depends on how soon you want to eat it.

      Hi Cath, you can definitely use canned diced tomatoes, just know it might not be quite as flavorful. Should still be delicious! Hope that helps!
