I try not to eat them too often as most are loaded with sodium and don't have enough veggies, but for lunch today I had the macaroni and cheese Lean Cuisine and it was really, really good!

I also like the Lean Cuisine pizzas and the Amy's brand veggie pot pies! Yum!

What's your favorite kind of frozen dinner, and how often do you eat them?

Mostly Banquet and Michelina's - we use them a lot because it's hard to stand and cook since my accident. And they are less expensive.

Fav Banquet is the Sweet and Sour chicken and rice (though now they cut the portion to include an egg roll - I'm not much on egg rolls).

Kashi came out with a new line of frozen dinners and they are quite yummy. I had back bean & mango for lunch the other day and couldn't believe how good it was. I occasionally bring Lean Cuisines, or the Kashi now, for lunch when I am at work and don't feel like going out.

I usually buy the Mexican dinners. Frozen dinners are gooey but Mexican food is supposed to be gooey, so it all works out.

They taste better baked, by the way.

I actually just got done eating a broccali & potatoes one by Michelina's.
It was spectacular..
I will be buying them is mass quantities sometime in the future.

Specially cuz my daughter ate half of it anyways.

I pick them up for quick lunches quite a bit. I usually get the Smart Ones kind or Lean Cuisine...mostly because they have the fewest calories.

My husband likes the Hungry Man ones but I usually prefer the Stouffers. I'm a huge fan of their Salisbury Steak. Mmmmmm.

We don't eat them that often though. Maybe a meal once a month. Of course I lived off of them when Brian was last sick. No time to cook when you're taking care of someone else.

Since being self employed I really don't buy any of these anymore. I do like the Gyros kits though. (and of course frozen pizza). Sometimes if I have leftovers I will freeze my own TV dinners!!! I do like some of the Bertolli ones but not enough meat in many of them-the chicken ones aren't too bad.

My favorite is usually whatever is on sale that week.


Actually, I think my favorite is the Marie Callendar's Chicken Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob.

Oh, like the Marie Callendar ones too! But I try and avoid the frozen dinners because of all the preservatives and such.
