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.

It will grow some hair on your chest.

There are a lot of Microwave Meals out there. And I mean a lot. I sometimes wish that I could try some of the vintage stuff from back in the 1950's and such but that will never happen. Alas!

I have been trying to find as many brands as I can by going to different stores in my area. I know that what I have in store for today is probably not new to some of you, but I had never heard of it until The Boyfriend threw it in our shopping cart.


So manly. Yes Nighthawk! I actually had this brand refereed to me last night. Lucky for them I had this puppy waiting in my fridge. I was going to have it yesterday but Michelina tempted me so.

Now The Boyfriend told me stories about how this was the frozen food of his childhood. I was more of a Bagel Bite/Hot Pocket kind of kid. And some kind of delicious Mexican Pizza. IDK what it was called, but I will find it.

Anyway, MEAT AND POTATOES! I feel like a REAL MAN! I just need to put on some FOOTBALL and FIX A CAR! Maybe after that I'll DRINK SOME BEERS! No. No beer's. I have work all day. I actually have some sewing to do today...SOME...MANLY SEWING!!!


Awesome replication of Box to Real Food here guys. I'm very pleased with this one. The only tihng that's missing is the herbs on the potatoes. They might be somewhere under all that almost-burned cheese. That beef patty was awesome. The gravy its floating in was not too gravy like, I'm not a gravy kind of guy (Say gravy again!). The potatoes were pretty decent. I tried a good portion of them and then smothered them in Ketchup. The Boyfriend nearly had a heart attack when he saw me eating them with Ketchup, "HOW COULD YOU?!" he exclaimed, "Those are GOOD potatoes WHY ARE YOU EATING THEM WITH KETCHUP?!"

Because I'm an awful.

So that was my MANLY meal for today. I really liked it, I'll probably pick a few more next time we go to the store.

Remember if you guys have any other suggestions on stuff for me to eat, just leave a comment here and I'll add it to my list! Until next time.

I got so MANLY sewing to do.

My food is making me uncomfortable.

I return! Dallas was great. Had a fantastic time. I only ate one microwaveable thing while I was there. Huzzah Breakfast Burritos! I didn't take any pictures because I was lazy and hungry. But now that I am back we've got a big entry for today because I was a fatty and ate two meals today (one at two and one at five. What?! They were tiny. And I was hungry!). So lets jump into the first meal of the week!


Yes. I had a craving for more italian today. "REAL CHEESE" by our favorite Italian Mama. She's going to feed me. And I'm going to like it. Before we move onto the picture, let me justify myself. The batteries in my camera are dying and like to turn my camera off at a moments notice. I have been flipping the batteries around and using some other ones in other devices to get them to work. So some of these pictures may not be the best because I was hurrying before it died for real real on me. And we have 3 meals to cover today.


OH GOD! OK, we all know Michelina's love of red sauce, but no more flashes when I take pictures of this stuff. It looks like my ravioli it is covered in blood. With fresh Italian herbs!

It was really good. I wish there was more. I, of course, used a piece of bread to scoop up all the extra sauce. Cause its so good. Nom.

So after a few more hours of work, my stomach revolted and said, "FEEEEED MEEEE!" I had to listen. Cause then the hunger pains started on. So I dug through the freezer and decided that I would give you guys another Michelina. We gotta save the rest of these for another day, cause they are all too awesome.


This is only going to end in tears. The potatoes have smiley faces guys. SMILEY FACES! Who thought that was a good idea?


5 tiny chicken "fritters"?! Boooo, Mama you suck sometimes. They are just staring at me. And smiling. They think they are so cool those french fries. This picture is a little too dark. Lets throw the flash on and see what they look like.


...!!! Demon French Fries!!!

The chicken fritters are the exact same as the "Chicken Littles." The french fried Smiledemons were ok. I liked to pull a "Animal Cracker" on them. Ya know, eating the smiles off first and then the eyes. Don't act like you dont know what I'm talking about. But still, covering them in ketchup made me feel like a serial killer...

So that was my fatty lunch today. It was pretty decent. Mama delivered. She usually does.

The Boyfriend also wanted to share his lunch today, because he made me jealous.


Sorry for my giant shadow. Battey light was flashing at me. Anywho, here was matt's lunch. It took 9 minutes to microwave. And it smelled SO! GOOD!


The enchilada looks special. For those curious The Boyfriend said it was "Really good." Not just good. Really good. He mmm'd and yum'd and nom'd the entire time. I was jealous. Stupid Smileydemons.

So that is all for today! I hope everyone enjoyed this giant entry. Tomorrow should be fun. Until next time!

Happy Microwaving!

The Sky is Falling!!!

Welcome back everyone. So far it looks like we are gaining a couple of watchers, and that is awesome. I'm glad to see everyone is enjoying my frozen adventures. So lets move right to it and take a look at what is for lunch today.


Why its old Mama Michelina. Did anyone else catch the "Let Mama Feed You!" slogan up at the top of the box? Yes Mama Feed meee! I am so hungry and poor! Will I be hungry two hours later? Probably. But hey, its still "food" right? Right guys?

Today's lunch is, "Chicken Littles". What a sweet innocent name for them. It makes me wonder if these are just small baby chicks that were covered in seasoning and then deep fried and frozen for my pleasure. Lets take another look at the presentation on the box. Someone took a lot of time to stack those little, as they are called on the box, "Chicken Fritters" and french fries together so expertly. What confuses me the most is that fork. Who eats "Chicken Fritters" and french fries with a freaking fork. That's ridiculous. Just slop on some ketchup and dive right in, fingers first.

I will say that Michelina is a master of packaging. Trying to rip into this thing was hell. Michelina has a fancy little tab on the side that says "Pull Here!" So you do, and all you get is a little sliver of paper. You try again, a little more paper. Next thing you know you are literally clawing at these things to get to the little treasures.

After much ripped paper I finally reached them. Now the directions had top options for these fellas, 1) Bake, 2) Microwave. And being the trooper I am (and not having enough time on my break to preheat the oven), I decided to just microwave them. The directions also point out to put some paper towels below them, but I am poor and out of paper towels (Come on guys, I am eating 95 cent meals for lunch). So we'll just have to see how they do without the paper towels...


At least its not swimming in marinara sauce. Note the moisture that surrounds them on the plate. I imagine that this was suppose to be taken care of by the paper towels....Now believe it or not, these actually were not as bad as you would think. The "Chicken Littles" were actually very tastey. I wish I could have made a trade for more chicken less french fries. Anyone that has EVER had to deal with frozen french fries...you know what I'm talking about. Floppy constancy but that weird "I might not be a potato" texture on the inside. I did try them without ketchup, and the chickens were ok...the french fries *shiver* they just have a freaky taste to me. So smothering them in ketchup seems to help. But I'm just a ketchup fiend. I eat steak with ketchup on it. I know. I'm awful.

After I sucked down my lunch, my boyfriend decided he was going to try and bake these little guys and see if they were any better. Well he wouldn't try any of mine, which means I couldn't try any of his. But he did artfully arrange them like the box has it and took a lovely picture for us all.


"THEY MUST HAVE USED TINY PLATES!" (please take your time now to scroll up and look at the box art once more...I'll give you a minute.....la la la....you look? Yea. Smallest. Plate. Ever.) That is what I heard screaming from the kitchen while he set this up. I also love how he drenched it in salt. When asked how they were he replied "Good." he's so simple :)

Anywho that is all for today! We are running low on food (Pay Day! So close yet so far!), so I might be eating microwaved food again tonight. If that is the case, you bet your butt you'll be seeing another entry.

Happy Microwaving!
