best frozen dinners to buy when we're done with him he's gonna be a swanson tv
dinner marie calendar's country dried chicken breast tenders i said chicken tenders what's
that chicken cheddars most frozen dinners are like a trade-off between quality food and convenience
the packaged meals are a quick and easy way to feed your family but it's always hard to know if
these dinners will hold up in the quality factor but marie calendar has a reputation for putting
out tasty comfort food meals so you don't have to worry about that the chicken tenders meal with
macaroni and cheese is a good example of what the company does well the breaded and fried chicken
is a good sized portion and has a decent flavor the mac and cheese is a little harder to judge
since people have a lot of different ideas of what makes it good or not mmm good mac and cheese some
reviewers have panned the dish for having a mushy consistency while others have given good marks to
the creamy cheese sauce the only downside marie calendar's meals definitely aren't marketed as
healthy choices as they contain relatively high levels of fat sodium and calories none of these
meals should be a staple of your diet but as an occasional option when you're running short on
time or you just don't feel like cooking this chicken and cheesy pasta dish is good enough
to get you over that middle of the week hump you're certainly not getting gourmet food here
but the meal will fill you up bless his highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner
bird's eye beef laumane i gotta have a lo mein bird's eye has been in the frozen food

to prepare if you're in the mood for chinese food then you can give bird's-eye beef laumane a try
this is a one-dish meal that cooks in a skillet in just 10 to 15 minutes the convenience of this

did anybody order lomain regardless of the cooking time there's an impressive mix of ingredients that

has only 1.5 grams of saturated fat in a serving so you can feel pretty good about indulging in
this frozen dinner one reviewer on youtube even prepared the meal for his wife the couple agreed
this frozen dinner was worse the short time it took to prepare but they didn't seem to
particularly love it however they did appreciate the convenience and the competitive price for a
frozen dinner bird's eye lao main gives you the noodles beef and vegetables for a quick and tasty
chinese dinner without having all of those little white boxes left over in your fridge i refuse to
play your chinese food mind games banquet chicken nuggets with mac and cheese chicken nuggets
is like my family banquets chicken nuggets have been compared favorably to wendy's chicken nuggets
which have a good reputation in the fast food game even if you think mcdonald's makes the
best chicken nuggets banquets chicken nuggets with macaroni and cheese frozen dinners could still be
a pretty good backup when you want something at home this banquet frozen dinner has also gotten
good marks for its macaroni and cheese described as being flavorful without being too salty
this frozen dinner also comes with a small brownie for dessert which is always a plus brownie break
sure other companies might have a better reputation for quality frozen foods
but people might be willing to judge banquet by a slightly different standard considering they
usually sell for 99 cents you can't beat this low price for a frozen dinner even if you're
getting a smaller portion you're still getting a good amount of fat carbohydrates and sodium but
it goes along with a lot of protein as well the portion size and brownie make this banquet meal
a good choice for kids but whether you're serving these to kids or adults it might be worth it to
keep a few of these in the freezer so you'll have them in a pinch don't forget the freezer oh god
chicken nuggets breaded marie calendar's chicken pot pie chicken pot chicken pot chicken pot pie
is there a dish that says comfort food more than chicken pot pie probably not and marie callenders
knows it way too well this is why the company offers one of the best chicken pot pie frozen
dinners on the market this classic pot pie is made with all white meat and is mixed with generous
helpings of carrots peas and celery the chicken and vegetables are smothered in a rich gravy
and everything is topped off with a flaky crust a chicken pot pie is a good choice on a cold night
to help warm you up and these savory pies come in two sizes 10 ounces and 15 ounces a perfect
fit no matter how hungry you are michael ate an entire family sized chicken pot pie for lunch
however this is not really a healthy choice so you shouldn't be too surprised when looking at the
nutrition label the larger pot pie is made to be two servings but even one serving has 440 calories
26 grams of fat and 650 milligrams of sodium the 10 ounce size is probably the better choice for
most people when you pick a pot pie for dinner you know you're not getting the healthiest fare but at
least they do make for a satisfying and filling meal even if a frozen chicken pot pie isn't going
to be as good as homemade the homemade version is a lot more work because of the time and effort
required a lot of people aren't ready to prepare a pot pie from scratch the marie calendar's pot pie
is one of the best tasting frozen dinners to buy banquet salisbury steak how would you like some
salsberry steak salisbury steak has been a classic frozen dinner going back to the days
of swanson's tv dinners this dinner includes a savory piece of ground beef or hamburger steak
covered in a generous helping of brown gravy which is perfect for dipping bread or dinner rolls
finally creamy mashed potatoes and corn niblets round out this meal the gravy is also good on the
mashed potatoes and corn in the sacky salisbury steak everywhere else creamed cool now if you have
a big appetite you won't consider this to be a big portion as it only has a total of 350 calories
11 grams of protein and no trans fat the upside of a small portion is that it's balanced by the
relatively low fat content for this kind of frozen dinner you probably shouldn't enjoy this banquet
salisbury steak meal too often because it does have a high sodium count of over 1300 milligrams
and accounts for more than half of your daily allowance of salt the banquet brand of frozen
dinners isn't to be confused with gourmet cooking but they are still tasty meals and a
reasonable amount of food to enjoy what is this crap sounds very stick i hate it kashi's creamy
cashew noodle bowl cashew fancy cashews might not be as common in dishes as peanuts but if you like
this tasty nut then you might want to buy kashi's creamy cashew noodle bowl the people at kashi
are proud that this dish features asian-inspired noodles made from a combination of buckwheat and
semolina a mix of vegetables and edamame gives this frozen meal 10 grams of fiber and a healthy
satisfying crunch this kashi noodle bowl is the only vegan meal on the list so it really had to
deliver with its creamy and spicy cashew sauce the sauce mmm it's spicy the online consensus
seems to be that this meal does deliver to the fullest and also manages to taste more like fresh
food than most frozen dinners the tender noodles make this bowl a little higher in calories than
the regular frozen meal but the 360 calories is still a very good number for a frozen dinner the
noodles make this meal more filling than it would have been with just the vegetables the 15 grams of
protein is pretty good for a vegan dish but this protein also comes with 14 grams of fat if you're
looking for a healthy vegan option this frozen dinner is one of the best to buy short answer
being vegan just makes you better than most people trader joe's chicken tikka masala oh yes
a yummy tiger masala trader joe's is the kind of place where you can always find something new or
different to try a good example of this is trader joe's chicken tikka masala this frozen dinner is
described as an authentic indian recipe of roasted chicken breast prepared with a robust cream sauce
and cumin flavored basmati rice this sounds like a tasty alternative if you've had enough of the
usual burgers burritos and pasta this frozen dinner offers a tasty change of pace and if you
give this chicken and rice dish a try you won't be disappointed according to some of the reviewers
the cumin in the rice provides plenty of spice without overpowering the flavor of the roasted
chicken the chicken and rice are separated in the tray but some of the people who reviewed this dish
think it is best when you mix the chicken and rice together and let the sauce coat the entire meal
no arguments there we do have a very nice chicken tikka masala however this frozen dinner does not
offer a very big portion and some people have complained that there just isn't enough chicken
but you could supplement this meal with trader joe's frozen naan an indian flatbread that comes
in several varieties including a tasty garlic flavor the chicken and rice come with plenty of
cream sauce and a couple of pieces of naan are perfect for soaking it up whether you choose to
add the naan or not this chicken tikka masala is a frozen dinner you should buy when's the
next time i'm gonna get to trader joe's parking lot's a nightmare lean cuisine meatloaf and mashed
potatoes hey ma can we get some meatloaf meatloaf with mashed potatoes is a classic comfort food
that has been a popular frozen dinner for a long time normally this hearty meal is loaded up with
plenty of fat and calories and the people at lean cuisine have come up with a delicious version the
meatloaf and mashed potatoes meal will allow you to indulge in this popular meal without most of
the health consequences lean cuisine is known for relatively low calorie meals and it accomplishes
this mainly by giving smaller portions it's true that people with big appetites might be annoyed
by this unappealing fact but if you accept it up front then you can enjoy this frozen dinner for
what it is wow that's heavy all right it's heavy it's my mother's meatloaf the meat and gravy get
some good marks and so does the side of mashed potatoes made from red skinned potatoes with 20
grams of protein and 240 calories this lean cuisine dinner is high in protein but still
low in fat and calories this meal achieves a good balance between flavor and nutrition that isn't
easy to come by with a frozen dinner although some people will find the meatloaf and mashed
potatoes too small for a satisfying dinner for most people this lean cuisine option is perfect
i recommend meatloaf healthy choice chicken and vegetable stir-fry gotta preheat the oven
stir-fry vegetables chicken and vegetables are one of the healthiest dinners you can eat which is why
healthy choice came out with its chicken and stir-fry frozen dinner with only one gram of
saturated fat 190 calories and 23 grams of protein it makes for a more nutritious frozen meal healthy
choice describes this bowl as an asian inspired dish that includes a number of vegetables like
broccoli carrots edamame red peppers and onion you know not everybody likes onions
the vegetables flavored with a tangy sesame soy sauce give you plenty of crunch as well as some
fiber even with the sauce the sodium count is kept to a manageable 500 milligrams per serving this
frozen dinner is one you should definitely buy mostly because of the combination of high protein
and low carbohydrates it lets you cut calories while still getting a decent amount of protein
when you want a healthier choice this dinner will be waiting for you with open arms if you keep a
few in your freezer they'll be there when you need a break from fast food the healthy choice
chicken and vegetable stir fry is probably one of the least filling frozen dinners on the list but
on the plus side you can feel good about eating it so why are you sitting here in the car eating
stir-fry oh it's stir friday frontera chicken and chorizo taco bowl tacos this is the best day
of my life the average chicken bowl you find in the frozen food section usually consists of some
chicken rice and vegetables the quality of these ingredients could vary quite a bit depending on
which brand of frozen dinner you choose frontera's chicken and chorizo taco bowl isn't your average
chicken bowl along with the chicken this frozen dinner also offers a generous portion of chorizo
which is a portuguese smoked sausage made from pork the flavorful combination of chicken and pork
sausage takes this frozen dinner to the next level this dinner is a taco bowl and contains a tomato
chipotle sauce to spice up the red potatoes red peppers and a healthy blend of grains
tacos most frozen dinners end up being a trade-off between flavor calories and portion size but it
seems like fronteras frozen dinners have been able to strike a good balance with its chicken
and chorizo taco bowl this frozen dinner has a modest 290 calories but boasts 19 grams of protein
it also offers a respectable 7 grams of fiber and received high marks for the blend of ingredients
that gives you a spicy flavorful experience right from your freezer frontera has clearly made
a quality frozen dinner you should buy excuse me excuse me can i just eat some of your yeah
