Meat-losse, meat-loaf, double beat-loaf...I HATE meatloaf.

Today is my last day off for this 3-day weekend so I figured today I was celebrate in style. I'm not going anywhere today...OK I might go to the store later. Anyway, today I am sitting around in my pajamas playing Xbox all day. The Boyfriend had a bad dream last night and ended up waking up at 3am with a crick in his neck and stayed up all night. He woke me up at 10:30, we chit chatted for a bit, then he promptly passed out. So I was on my own for lunch today.

I figured today I would get something have something special. I still have some nasty looking food that has been in the freezer since our last big store trip. It keeps staring me down, but I'm saving those for later this week. So! Today we're going to have a request that I picked up at the store that I was very excited about. Why was I excited do you ask?


Cause it's another Amy's! You all know how I feel about Amy's. I figured I would venture away from their delicious tex-mex and venture out into the their classic meals. So today we have Veggie "Meatloaf", Mashed Taters and corn/peas. So excited.

I will say that when I pulled it out of the box, I was nervous. The "gravy" covered the entire "meatloaf" so it was just this brown blob staring at me, "Hey there. I could be delicious, but then again I could be disgusting. Who knows. Cook me Bitch!" so I did.

It smelled good, which is always a good sign. My apartment didn't not smell like fish or burnt banana. So, again, I was hopeful. Amy has not let me down before and I don't think she would start today.


That Gravy is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Now when I took it out of the microwave, the nervousness hit me again. The "Oh-this-does-not-look-good" worries. So I decided to shut up and dive in.

Like I said, Amy does not disappoint and this is no exception. The "meatloaf" was surprising at first because it is clearly not meat but veggies morphed together in some way to taste like meat. Now I like vegetarian food but anyone that has had veggie products, take Boca for example, think back to the first time you tried it. At first you are confused cause it is clearly not meat in any way shape or form. But at the same time it is like meat. It's a odd sensation. But this "meatloaf" was still delicious. The gravy that is over everything was AMAZING! If you get this, I highly recommend dipping everything into it. I have no clue what it is but it is made of yum.

So, Amy's has done it yet again. I give this two big thumbs way up there. The veggies were fresh, and the mashed potatoes were REAL potatoes, you could tell and they were VERY good. On another note, this contained no dairy so technically it's vegan! So rejoice vegans and veggie heads!

Alright that is all from me for today. Me and the Prince of Persia have a date today. So if youll excuse me. Until next time!

Happy Microwaving!

p.s. the title is a lie. I love meatloaf. A lot.

I got lost in my Freezer...is that a good excuse? No? Ok.

I'm back! No no, I didn't die everyone. I was just taking a little break from blogging. Works been crazy, and I've been doing about 200x things to distract me from blogging aka friends coming into town, Setting up my original Nintendo for the first time in years and Barbarella. I have, however, been taking pictures of all my meals since my last post. So we have a lot to go through today, lets not waste any more time!

What?! More Amy's?! Hell to the yes more Amy's! For real guys, you HAVE to check these out, they are super delicious.

Amy never disappoints. This was BEYOND delicious (just looking at it is making me SO! HUNGRY!). The Verde sauce. OM! NOM! NOM! Ok we have to move on. I'm starting to drool again.

More Enchladas, you guys know my love for enchiladas. Now with these. They were kind of special looking to start with. But the promise of a Tamale too got me excited.

*tilts head slowly* Yum? It wasn't too bad. The sauce was really good, IDK what it was. The rice was meh. The Tamela, very good. It was OK at best.

MOVING ON!

FISH STICKS! Hell to the yes! I was a little scared of the pudding. Warm pudding? Eh...OK? I'll try it.


Hm. Special. Lets see what it looks like with a flash:


Now the pudding looks like sludge and the mac and cheese looks....different. This was decent. Warm pudding: I would advise against it. Fish sticks, decent, mac and cheese: A for Effort.

NEXT!


Bacon Pasta? Yes please. The Boyfriend had this the other day and got another one and let me have it. Cause he said its too delicious to not try. So I ate it.


I could live without the peas, but the rest was SO GOOD! Bacon just makes everything better, "Madam! What is this?", "Why, good sir, that would be cat poop wrapped in bacon.", "...Bacon you say?"

NEXT


...>_> whoops. That's my cat and my big toe. Ha! Look at the face he's making, He says"GET ON WITH IT! AND MAKE ME MOAR FOOD PLEBEIAN!"


The Boyfriend made this one. He had already ripped the box apart before he could take a picture. But it smelled great while it was cooking.


It threw up all over. It was still pretty good. I had a bite, and it had blue cheese in it, which I HAAAATE with a fiery passion. This was actually good, I could taste the blue cheese but it wasn't overpowering. I liked The Boyfriends response to how it looked, "Hey! Baby! Look! *I look* It kind looks like the box *we look at the box* ....kind of!"

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:


Yes More steaming food, for your face. I was scared.


WHAT IS THIS?! This is shenanigans! Where is the Marinara?! Michelina promises me pasta floating in Marinara, this...this is pathetic. However the meatballs were delicious. I also downed it in spices which made it 300x better.

*huff puff* Ok! We did it! We covered all my food for the past...however long it's been. Novemeber is here and I get paid tomorrow, so expect awesome blogs! Tomorrow we'll recap my lunch from today and tomorrow. Cause I haven't eaten yet. So! Until next time!

I am so hungry now.

Organic Things Can Also Be Delicious

I know that the meal I had yesterday probably isn't the problem BUT! I have been pretty much sick since after I ate it. OK So maybe I did have a giant taco dinner and a plethora of cheese (Did I mention I'm Lactose Intolerant?) for the past two days...So maybe that's the reason I haven't been feeling good. But I'm just going to go ahead and blame those plantains. But lets move on. That disaster is in the past now.

Lunch came a little bit later today. The Boyfriend made me a late breakfast so I didn't get hungry till about 5 today (that and someone found the first to episodes of Glee for me...I am not addicted to Glee now. I swear). But all that is OK, today was totally worth it. Ever since Jenny and Steph bought me these meals, I have had an eye on this one. So needless to say, I have been really really excited. Like really excited. Like it took so much for me to not eat it yesterday, but I figured I would get the worst out of the way first. Ladies and Gentleman may I present:


Oh yes. OH YES! Now lets me explain this. I love Mexican food. My love for Mexican food burns inside me with a fiery, fiery passion. I was born in Texas, of course I love Mexican food. OK maybe I am really in love with Tex-Mex...cause some Mexican food makes me nervous. But enchiladas are like my 4th favorite thing in Mexican food land (for those curious the list goes 1) tacos, 2) re-fried beans with melted cheese, 3) those little queso poofs, 4) enchiladas, and 5) GUAC!) So when Steph put this one in the basket, I picked it up and started to drool

And look guys! Its Organic, not vegan in the least, but Organic! I love microwaveable meals that are organic, its so ironic. Also NO GMOS! (wtf are GMOS?! I dunno, but this doesn't have them!!!) Also its Gluten Free, so those that are allergic to Gluten, you too can enjoy the magic that is enchiladas. I am disappointed that their "Cheese" label isn't a little more dramatic. Michelina likes to make sure everyone knows that their food has REAL CHEESE! None of that fake government stuff. Just look at how delicious those little guys look. Just oozing out filling and neatly covered in sauce. Oh god, I couldn't take it anymore.

It seems like the better for you something is, the longer it needs to microwave. This one takes 6 minutes and 45 seconds all together. The tray is also covered in a PLASTIC BAG! Not just film on top. I had to read over the directions a few more times to make sure this was right. I don't want to melt something delicious to my microwave. I'm not eating it off the little tray in there. That is just sad. Not to mention that our microwave has already been through one explosive incident (yea, The Boyfriend cause a mini explosion in the microwave last week. Yea, we have black marks in there now.) Moving on! THE FOOD!


Can nothing EVER look delicious when its microwaved?! OK seeing the enchiladas in this state gave me flash backs to my child hood. I can't remember the name exactly, but I think its Del Rio Enchiladas? If you have ever had those, you know what Im talking about. They are gross, but I'm sure we'll touch on these later in the future.

These smelled. So. Good. The Boyfriend walked by me in the kitchen and sniffed above them and gave me the look of "I can haz?" No. No you cannot haz. I have to eat these. They are for the blog!!!

So I did. And it was glorious. It was like the heavens had opened up and delivered onto me organic enchilada goodness. Angel's sang, trumpets played and The Boyfriend hovered over me till I gave him a bite. So good.

The sauce itself seemed to have cheese infused with it. The enchilada oozed when you cut into them but in a good way. This was one of those things that I was happy to have drowning in sauce. Michelina could learn a lesson or two from Amy. She knows what she's doing. The rest of it was fantastic. I was pretty much scrapping against the side of the little paper tray it came in. When it was done, I was not only full but totally satisfied. So lets all say it together: OMGSOGOOD!

So all in all Amy's Organic Cheese Enchiladas (NO GMO's!) were pretty much the best thing I have eaten so far in this blog's history (because this blog is so old.) If you ever happen upon it, take my word, it is completely worth it. Tomorrow we'll move away for a moment and back into the world of processed meats and REAL cheeses. Jenny and Steph did buy me normal microwave meals, not just organic/vegan/nogmos.

For real, what are GMO's?
