I like the turkey dinner. I get to pretend I am eating some of my very favorite comfort food, but without all the caloric damage.

I'm so jealous! Here in Canada, we don't have the biggest selection of Lean Cuisine.. but my fave's so far are the Lasagna, or the Chicken with Spaghetti? it has veggies too and it's soo good!
I also like the michelina's line... they have a good selection.
I love these dinners, especially with some veggies beforehand, they make an excellent dinner!

I do the same - I don't want to rely on being too hungry/not enough time to cook something be an excuse for not making a healthy choice (well, relatively anyway, I try to limit processed food).

Although this is a LC thread, I'll put a plug in for a couple of Weight Watchers ones -- Lasagna Florentine and Penne Pollo. Even when I wasn't actively dieting, I'd still buy them because I liked them so much.

I was just about to say the same thing, looks like we're missing out on a huge selection. But the chicken with spaghetti and veg, I love that one!

I really enjoy Kashi frozen meals. They have more fiber in them so they keep me full longer than Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice. Although those Healthy Choice steamer things are super yummy!

I've never seen the Kashi brand but I've also never really liked anything Kashi brand. It's kinda bland to me. It's all about preference.

hmm, I had a terrible lean cuisine skillet last night. It was the chicken primavera. It was way too salty, the chicken was mushy except for the part that had gristle. I added some steamed broccoli and that helped a bit, but overall it was really disappointing. I have had this meal in a bag before and liked it so I am not sure if there has been a change or if my taste has changed.
I am visiting my parents near the border in a couple of weeks and maybe I will cross the border to Buffalo or Niagara Falls to do some grocery shopping and stock up on some different frozen dinners. They are handy, and I do like the portion control.

I like the pizza with chicken and garlic. It has big chunks of garlic, so I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't big into garlic.

mmmmm, Kashi!

If I MUST eat frozen food, I'll eat Kashi.
I like that Mayan Bake. Yum(ish).

I love Lean Cuisine too but I find here in my area, there are only about 12 varieties to choose from. I think there are more varieties available to the US, not fair LOL. My favorites are the glazed chicken and the Spa Thai Chicken. I always try to add an extra cup of frozen veggies to the mix to make it a little healthier. I am also a huge fan of the new Healthy Choice Steamers. Beef Merlot is great mixed with a cup of broccoli

Oooh, I love the primavera too. But I try to stick around the 200-250 range, and most of the really yummy stuff that calls out to me with that pleading, come-eat-me look (I'm talking about you, spaghetti and meatballs!) is around 350 and that's a bit high.

The one I usually end up buying the most is the potatoes and broccoli that someone else mentioned. It's pretty good with only 210 calories, so I can have it as a lunch and feel good about eating a good healthy homecooked dinner.

I just stocked up on frozen foods and soups- we had some good sales this week. One can (just over 2 servings) of Progresso soup is about 250-300 calories per can (and only 200 for the 98% fat-free chicken noodle). They were on sale, 10 for $1. A Michaelina's entree is about the same price and # of calories (agreed, adding a bowl of frozen veggies, steamed in the microwave, with salt and pepper makes them a lot more filling if you want to make a real meal of them). And I wouldn't call any of this healthy- but when I came home pretty beat yesterday, and my sausage and pepperoni Lean Pocket was just the kind of warm, melty treat I needed for my final mini-meal of the day... it was definitely 280 calories (and 70 cents) well spent. But if I could afford to buy them more often, I love the Amy's organic vegetarian meals- not precisely low-cal in most cases, but delicious. And ditto the Healthy Choice steamers- love everthing about them except the fact that you have to microwave them in plastic.

I just finished one of my faves, sesame chicken. There so easy to take to work and often if I feel like one is lacking in veggies I'll add a veggie to it.
