Let me just catch yall up.

I really got to get back on the ball with the whole "daily update" thing. I have just been very distracted the past few days. I have been eating and keeping track of everything but when it came time to post...I would just not do it. So! Lets get back on track and let me catch you up with the last three days!

This was a recommendation, so I picked it up the other day at the store. It seemed pretty good. I like the fact that it has "MORE VEGGIES!" and No Preservatives. That's a good sign. I like seeing people making REAL FOOD again.

This smelled like heaven in the microwave. I was so so so excited. I love squash and I love veggies and I love ravioli. So clearly this was going to be expectational.


They were so close on looking the same. But man that is a lot of sauce.

This was a-mazing. Again, something vegetarian and amazing. I was very pleased with this. Good job Lean Cuisine! So! Next up on the list we have:


Sorry, totally took the picture after I cooked this. But look! Its Nev! Woo? Mmm BB Chicken Quesdillia. Yum! Ok no really, its BBQ, another suggestion. It sounded pretty delicious. Three things I also love to death, Chicken, BBQ and Quesdillia. So needless to say, I was excited about this little guy too. And look! It's Lean Cuisine! I'm sensing a theme here...


Yummy? Ok so I had to cut this sucker to "replicate" the feeling on the box. The Boyfriend was standing over me as I was taking the pictures and he complained that I was doing the same thing they do on the box, but opposite "Make everything look gross." Come on man!

So for The Boyfriend's sake, I went ahead and took a "replication picture" to make it look better.


I don't think that helped.

Anyway, this was pretty good. I wish I would have had some sour cream though (I can always find ways to make healthy stuff unhealthy and more delicious). But it was very good. I was pleased with this. The Boyfriend wanted to steal it, so thats a good sign.

Alright! Last, but certainly not least, we have a new comer!


Swanson! Now it claims to be "The Original TV Dinner". So of course, with that printed on the box all retro like, I had to pick this up.

Not to mention this looks like my FAVORITE THING to get at Luby's (Except get rid of those green beans and replace them with Fried Okra. Also, WHERE IS MY DINNER ROLL?!). I was really excited. I had to time this one good, cause seafood dishes are not allowed to be had when The Boyfriend is around, or awake. So I made this sucker early this afternoon while he still slumbered.


Excuse me! Waiter! I think I got the kid's meal....

For real...? That's it? Ok I'm fine with my food looking crazy after it's made. But don't fool me on your portions. Ok lets look at the box pictures again, I'll give you a moment, go ahead and scroll back up.....no go ahead, I'll be right here when you get back. Did you look? OK good. So let's talk about this.

The portion of fish featured on the box is totally not the same size that I received. I was not pleased. I almost called up Swanson to demand my rightful portion. But I had to take it like a man with my tiny fish and just shut up and eat.

If anyone ever plans on getting this dish, do not microwave it. Microwaving it gave the fried bits a chewing taste and the fish was kind of rubbery. If I would have baked it, I know for a fact this would have been top notch. Everything else was great, but microwaving kind of ruins the whole "crispy baked" part of the fish.

Alright that is all for today! I will be sure to try and update more often then I have been! Until tomorrow!

Happy Microwaving!

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!

-Mitchell-

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

Fool me Once Shame one on you, Fool me twice Shame on me! Fool me three times....?

An Update on a Sunday?! Yea I know, I'm surprised too. But I had something yesterday that needed to be shared with everyone. While I was at the store for a quick trip, I decided to grab just a few little meals just in case I wanted something different from what I already had. Of course, I am lazy and dont want to eat what I have in the freezer, so I ate one of the new ones yesterday for lunch!

I know right? You think I would have learned already. Kashi has been nothing but a disappointment. But I couldn't resist. This one was cheap, and the ingredients sounded delcious. Chicken, peppers, spinach, MUSHROOMS?! Come on! How could they go wrong with this.

It was kind of strange to cook. It was just a little pouch of bread, no openings at all. Just threw it in the microwave for a few minutes, flipped it, and microwaved some more. It smelled really good. But I still have problems trusting Kashi. This could be a huge success or it could end in tears.


Had to cut in half for this picture. Doesn't that just look...appealing? Yeah. I was nervous too. So I let it cool and took my first bite.

...

............

........................

It wasn't bad. The inside was actually pretty good. Their "home made bread" I could have lived without. It had a weird after taste. But the inside bites were delicious. I knew they couldn't go wrong with what they were working with.

So congratulations Kashi, you have know received a little bit of my faith back. I still hate you for what you did with me with the Mayan Harvest Bake, but this. This was good. Keep making little pouches filled with delicious and I will keep eating them.

No microwaved food for me today! Going to my Aunt's house for dinner tonight and I woke up kind of late so yea! So until next time!

Happy Microwaving!

You got Cheese in my Choclate! You got Choclate on my Cheese!!!

Today's has not been a very good day. Didn't sleep well, headaches, my arm hurts for some odd reason. Just one of those days. Even my horoscope said "Hey uhh don't go outside." So when it came to Lunch I was a little scared of what I was going to eat, in fear that it was going to end in disaster. I decided that I should avoid all super delicious foods because I don't want them to end badly, I would be oh-so-sad. The other night we got a few more meals so I decided to just go with something that was pretty simple and straight forward, to avoid any pending doom.

I can even save $6 bucks! I probably should dig that coupon out. Like I said, pretty straight forward. Hard to mess up chicken fingers, mac and cheese and a delicious brownie. What makes me nervous though, is that someone thought it was a great idea to add steam coming off the brownie. Last time I checked, if there is steam coming of a brownie, you probably shouldn't be eating it.

When I was making it, The boyfriend popped up from the couch and asked, "Are you making another Kid Cuisine?" I knew exactly what he was talking about. This is pretty much identical to the Kid Cuisines of my day. Brownies, mac and cheese, and chicken. No nutritional value what so ever! I'm sure there were corn in those back in the day. No corn here! Everything is either bread like or smothered in cheese. Aw yea.


I should probably double check my Horoscope :( The macaroni is overflowing in my brownie, GTFO Cheese! Those Chicken strips also look a little special too. The Smell of the brownie was completely over powered with everything else. The Boyfriend told me, "It smells like Chicken Fried Brownie Cheese." and it did. But I was hopeful. I have to be!!!

The chickens were awesome. With or without ketchup :) The Mac and Cheese tried its hardest to be like Luby's Mac and Cheese, but alas, it fell short. Still good, but I see what they were going for and they missed the mark. Not by much, but still. The brownie was also surprisingly delicious. Tasted like brownie to me, and that's all that really matters.

So, lucky enough for me, my lunch was not a complete disaster. There were no explosions in my mouth, nothing floating in gravey and no plantains. All in all I call it a successful lunch! Good job Banquet, you're ridiculously cheap meal passed my test. Until next time!

Happy Microwaving

Something Exploded In My Mouth

Microwaveable foods have been a part of my life for a very long time. Not saying that my family never cooked, but there are some nights kids can just be plain difficult, so popping something in the microwave as a "treat" can shut a kid up in no time. For me, microwaved foods were "treats" I didn't have them all the time. But I do remember my favorite fondly.

When we I went on the first big spree at the grocery store, I was trying to get the largest assortment I could. One thing stood out to me and I said to myself, "You have to get one Mitchell." so I did.


Like I said, I had to.

So here we have it. Kids Cuisne. I promised a few people one of these would be coming up. I was a little upset because I was trying to find the Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets, but they didn't have any. So I grabbed the most random one I could find. A chicken Sandwich, veggies, tots, and a wtfisthatdessert.

Now when I first bought this and got it home, I had to just open it up. These "strawberry flavored popping crisps" were a curiosity to me. Is it pop corn? Is it Ice Cream? WHAT IS IT?! When I went to investigate it was inside its own packaging in the tray, and was not to be microwaved. Well then...maybe it's ice cream? Who knows.

I also enjoy the fact that it has "REAL MEALS" printed on the bottom. As opposed to what Kid's Cuisine? Play Doh? I would hope its real food.

I can also win a free "OUT OF THIS WORLD" movie screening. Kids food always has those awesome contests going on. Did anyone ever win those? I never heard anything about them. The commercials were always awesome on TV. I would always bug my parents to get me whatever food had the most AWESOME contest going on.

I actually want to see that movie >_>

Anyway, getting off topic. So I finally decided to cook it. Dude. The veggies has exploded all over the place. There were some in every tray. Corn on my potatoes, some carrots on my sammich, pease on my popping crisps. WTF Whoever did the veggie packaging on this one fails.

So Into the microwave, BUT NOT THE BUN! That goes in for only 30 seconds at the end. And mysterydesert. And out comes:

Man Kid's Meals are tiny. The funny thing is, this one has a lot of calories. Weird.

The Veggies were standard. Tasted like Microwaved Veggies. The Sammich was awesome actually. The bun is a whole wheat bun, and you can tell and its yum. Its also really goody with a little ketchup (It solves all problems). The Tater Puffs (yeah, thats the real name) kind of morphed together into one entity. Also much better with Ketchup. (see?)

Now lets move onto the WtfDessert.

I threw one into my mouth and started to chew. And it was pretty much like a Strawberry Yogart candy. It was really good. And then.

My mouth start to explode.

I freaked out. WTF IS HAPPENING IN MY MOUTH!?

Apparently, the "popping" part, is that these candies have POP ROCKS in them. Ahh! Now it all makes sense. Clever idea Kid's Cuisine, way to make desert even more awesome.

So I snarffed down the rest of it and was full. Yes, actually full from a kid's meal. It was surprisingly good for something that is meant for children. Not saying that children have bad taste....alright that's all for today! Until Tomorrow!

I still want to see that movie <_<

-Mitchell-

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.

-Mitchell-

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!

Ikea Jam is the Key

It has arrived! The final day of the "Steph and Jenny Food Week Extravaganza Blow out EXTREME!" I added a little extra to it, if you couldn't tell. Wanted to spice it up a little bit. So lets just jump right in.


Don't pretend like you guys didn't see this one coming. Its mutha-f***in Swedish Meatballs! Now I have a very high standards for Swedish Meatballs. Why? 1) I am Swedish and 2) I live minutes from Ikea. I know good Swedish Meatballs. Hell I know good Meatballs. All of my friends from Houston can testify to good meatballs.

The pasta is a little big. And there is no Jam! I need mah jam! Ikea always promises me delicious Jam with my meatballs, these SmartOnes give me nothing but "Cream Sauce" Fail. Oh look its only 5 points!! Woo!

Oh yeah. Look at those meatballs. They look nothing like the ones on the box. And look at that sauce. Oh, I'm having Michelina flash backs. Its just swimming.

Now the meatballs themselves are actually really small, that picture is kind of deceiving, they are the tiniest balls (ha!) I have ever seen. They actually taste pretty good. Now if I had some of that Ikea jam I would be good to go. The sauce was pretty decent too. Obviously a cream sauce, obviously meant for Swedish Meatballs

The noodles. Meh. Nothing to really complain about. They were noodles drowning in cream sauce. Not much to complain about, but nothing too special. Its something to go with Swedish Meatballs. So nothing too special.

I liked it. I would recommend getting some of that Jam from Ikea, I think its boysenberry or something like that. Even cranberry would work. Yum yum yum. It would have made this 200x better.

I also have a special treat for you, featuring The Boyfriend (he was so excited about this.)


See? He was so excited.

Now you may be thinking, "Mitchell, how do you consider this a microwaveable meal?!" BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MICROWAVE IT! Yes that's right. 5 whole seconds in the microwave to thaw.

We were literally bouncing about the kitchen in excitement. They are only 170 Calories! 170!!! THATS SO SMALL! I NEED TO EAT IT!



I think these were tilted sideways when they were unfrozen. But who cares. Its SO GOOD! Its peanut butter cups, brownie and icecream. Yes. Yes. Put it in my mouth.


Boyfriend also thinks so. Like his Chuck Norris shirt? Yeah it's mine, he stole it.

Any-who that is all for now. Heading out to Dallas this evening, so I'll be back on Monday. You kids behave yourselves. Until then!

Happy Microwaving!

-Mitchell-

I Really Hope That's Gravy...

Early lunch's are back on schedule. No breakfast for me today, so my stomach started to grumble at me. I stared at the freezer for a few moments and decided it's time to take it back a notch. Most of you guys probably aren't going to be going and buying organic/vegan/noGMO's meals anytime soon. So lets just dive right into the food that everyone will probably be buying for themselves.


That's right kids. We have now ventured into the land of Healthy Choice. It is a dark and low calorie road but hey, most people LOVE these. My Grandmother is a healthy choice fiend. She has so many of their little snacks in her pantry and little meals in the freezer its ridiculous. We have also ventured into a realm that has been untouched until today. Yes, you guessed it. It's an actual meal. Not just the entree, we got ourselves some mashed taters and omgcorn! And what is that I see? An apple crisp? Well goodness me, today's lunch is more like a champions dinner.

I am more of a Lean Cuisine kind of guy, but Healthy Choice is the master of frozen meals. I mean it has the word Healthy in its name, clearly you should choose it (hahaaa see what I did there?) This is another one of the Jenny Steph Meals. Although they wanted to get me some things a little different, they couldn't resist getting a few "normal" microwaveable meals. I was a little worried, I have never had this one before. Anything claiming to be "Country" worries me. Most people don't know what REAL Country food is. And to claim that is healthy just proves my point. If any of you guys find yourselves in Tomball Texas, go to Goodson's Restaurant. Oh. Mah. God. They have the BEST Chicken Fried Steak/Chicken in the entire universe. Yum Yum. And It will probably have enough calories to last you two weeks.

I'm getting a little too excited about this meal. So lets pop this baby into the microwave. I didn't have to change the power levels on this one either. Is it sad if that kind of made me excited?


...Someone did something very awful to my chicken. If this came out to me in a restaurant I would totally send this back. What did I do to offend the Cook? Luckily its just gravy, but good god. Just look at it. The potatoes also look a little *tilts head* unnatural. The veggies, that's a little hard to mess up. And the apple crisp...it looks like a pile of snot.

It didn't smell bad. I didn't poke it as much as I normally do with meals. So that was a good sign. Lets just break it down by each piece.

Chicken: not as bad as I thought. It was a little soggy because the gravy had soaked into the breading. The chicken part tasted like chicken. A little spongy, but that's to be expected with all microwaveable chicken.

Gravy: Tasted normally. Iknwright?!

Mashed Taters: Good, but not real. There is no way. I am going to make a vote that it was probably those instant flakes. They can probably last longer microwaved and keep that unnatural fluffiness longer.

Veggies: Its hard to mess up steamed veggies. The Peas tasted like peas, the corn like corn, the carrots tasted really off. They were super soggy and did not have the same taste of carrot. Its not hard taste to mess up. It kinda tasted like soggy sweet potatoes without the sweetness part. I'm not sure how to explain it.

Apple Crisp: Actually really amazing. It probably smelled the worst out of everything but it was really good. The apples tasted really fresh and the...whatever that is on top didn't really have much of a taste so it was no problem. They were so yummy.

All in all it was pretty good. It should, however, stop claiming to be "Country" because its not. It's good, but not country. After looking at it again I wondered, "How the heck was that good?" It looks like I'm having more good food than bad. Which is awesome because I am the one having to eat this stuff. I can't say that it will all look good but as long as it tastes good, I'm a happy camper.

Well that is all for today. I'm going grocery shopping tonight so I'll try to pick out the largest variety I can. If anyone has any requests, just leave a comment here and I'll see if our HEB has them.

Happy Microwaving!

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?

Welcome!

So lets get down to business. A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to start a diet together, being that we are both lazy and don't like to cook usually, we have vested most of our lunch time into microwaveable meals. The cheaper, the better. So for lunch everyday I have myself a delicious microwaveable lean-something-or-other.

I began to notice that the pictures on the boxes are awfully wrong about how the food usually looks, and voila! The Blog was born. Lets get started with today's lunch.

Michelina's! One of my most favorite treasures in the world. Only 95 cents right now at our local grocery store. How could you not love these? I have never tried the mannicotti. I am actually more of a frozen pizza kind of guy. But anything that proclaims in all caps "REAL CHEESE!" gets a thumbs up in my book.

Let me tell you what, microwaving the bad boy was like sitting in an Italian kitchen...ok maybe not really, but it sure smelled delicious. I was hopeful for my fluffy pasta creation. After letting it cool I ripped the lid off and received my just reward.

Hm. Not exactly as wonderful as I expected. The oozing cheese into the sauce made me a tad nervous, and the actually mannicotti was just SWIMMING in marinara sauce.

I will say, though, that it was actually VERY good. The cheese was very fluffy and the sauce was great. If you do manage to pick up one of these little fellas, I recommend having a slice of bread ready. You don't want all that sauce to go to waste (its all totally included in the calorie count, and a little bit of bread never killed anyone...unless they had a wheat allergy)

Since its the first post, I suppose I can give everyone the very first pictures I took, which inspired the blog all together.



Its our good old friend Michelina again! Another 95 cent lean meal. And look! "REAL CHEESE!" This looks promising. Look at how the pasta noodles of this treat just wave at you like "Hello! I am delicious, cheap and low calorie!" and the cheese on top looks like it will just melt into your mouth. With an obvious Italian Woman printed on the front, how could this "Five (REAL) Cheese Lasagna" not fulfill your fatty pasta desires.



Michelina really loves Marinara, like a lot. Like I think when she came up with these she decided to just grab a hose and get to work. The "REAL CHEESE" is very scarce. I would go back and ask for, "More please" but I have a feeling Michelina was give me a nice back hand and tell me to shut up and enjoy what I was given. Starving children in Africa would kill for pasta swimming in red sauce! Actually I think my boyfriend told me that a few days ago...

So there you have it! The first of, hopefully, many microwaveable meals gone terrible wrong. Come back tomorrow and we'll see what my freezer has to offer!
