I wonder if anybody has tried these. They're on sale right now at my supermarket, don't know how long for. I kind of liked the looks of them because they aren't just "low cal/low fat" but also made with whole grain pasta & grains, which, I'm trying to follow the Sonoma type diet so that's more in keeping with it than most of the other frozen entrees.
I bought the Chicken Pomodoro with whole grain pasta but haven't tried it yet. The others are listed here....the lime shrimp thing looks pretty good!
Don't know if you have heard of Hungry-Girl.com but I LOVE this site. She sends daily emails with reviews about new items and I have almost never disagreed once I have tried them. Fiber One cereal has been the only one so far. Anyway - she gave these very good reviews.
I nearly had a heart attack when I looked at the nutritional info for that chicken pomodoro thing. 470g of sodium! I wonder if they realize they made that mistake, whereas it should be 470 mg.
They dont look all that appealing to me, but then again, I have the sophisticated tastes of a toddler. *shrugs*

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Every time I see them I study them again, thinking ok, maybe this time I'll try one. But after looking at the pictures on the packages, they just don't look like something I would enjoy.
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone else who eats them, either, so I can't say whether or not they're well-liked.
Kashi entrees are SO yummy! I've had about 4 different ones, and they were ALL great. Of course, I tend to add crushed red pepper to everything, so that could affect the taste (meaning maybe they're not as tasty as I think b/c I like everything spicy!) They're a little expensive but goooooooooooooooood. I love the chewiness of the grain mixture they use.
I think I have pretty broad tastes as it applies to interesting food, but some of these tasted a little too strange for me. I'm going to stick with Amy's.
My hub & kiddies are at Dodger Stadium tonight so, perf opportunity for me to dig into this bad boy.
I REALLY liked it!! Although I love to cook and I love all the Sonoma/South Beach type recipes, sometimes you just want a night off from pans and chopping boards, and this is one of the few products that fits the guidelines (in terms of the whole grain pasta.)
I did pimp it out a bit -- the directions call to nuke 2 minutes, stir, nuke two minutes, after the first 2 minutes I added 2 cups of torn baby spinach and 2 oz of reduced-fat feta cheese to the mix, and a bit of crushed red pepper.
Then I put it in a pretty dish and poured a glass of W-I-N-E!!!! (gotta love the Sonoma Diet!) I thought it was really good!!
You can buy the "kashi pilaf" that's the basis of most or all of the grain in their frozen dinners. We just had some last night. It's seven grains and sesame and you just cook it like rice.
I modified their recipe for "Mediterranean Pilaf" by cutting down on oil and adding extra veggies. It was really good. It was even good cold today!
Wow!!! Thanks for the tip, I'll look for the pilaf & the pizza too. Always nice to have some pantry/freezer stuff for those "what's for dinner" nights!

OMG - you are So right about the sodium !!!! Even the "correct" amounts are scary. I never even noticed that _ i guess because I wasn't going to try them. I guess for once in a while it would be ok but definately not a good "regular" choice.
