I never really had risotto until this year. It was always one of those things I saw on TV or in magazines, but was too lazy to cook it myself. Then, I tasted it made it from scratch one day and fell in love! This stuff is GOOD! So, I went to Trader Joe’s the other day and saw this […]
Arctic Zero Maple Vanilla
What is Arctic Zero? According to the  container, “Arctic Zero is an all natural, smooth and creamy ice cream replacement”. The entire pint has “16 grams of whey protein, 8 grams of fiber” and is also “gluten free”. One serving, 1/2 cup, is 37 calories and 4 grams of protein. Wait….WHAT?! Yep, that’s what the label says! The entire pint […]
Amy’s Kitchen Veggie Steak & Gravy Whole Meal
I know when I bought this meal I had a friend turn up her nose when she heard the words “veggie steak”, but please don’t let it dissuade you from trying this meal out! I thought it was actually incredibly delicious đŸ™‚ First I cooked the meal, 4 1/2 minutes on HIGH and then 2 minutes on 50% power. I […]
Blake’s Chicken Pot Pie made with Organic vegetables and a flaky organic crust
Introducing…… THE PERFECT POT PIE. At least it’s perfect in my eyes. I’m a huge fan of pot pies. And to win me over, the crust has to be tasty- for to me the crust = the best part. And this pot pie surely does NOT disappoint. I used the combination method, or the “Express Cooking” that was listed on […]
Meals to Live Grilled White Chicken with Roasted Red Potatoes & Green Beans
One of the things I love is roasted red potatoes. I’d take them over mashed/baked potatoes anyday. Something about the crisp outside and soft inside and great flavor that always wins me over. So I was excited to get the Meals to Live Grilled White Chicken with Roasted Red Potatoes & Green Beans in the mail the other day and […]
Lean Cuisine Four Cheese Pizza
Browsing the grocery store, all of a sudden I thought Pizzzzzaaa. I want some pizza!! So I decided to try something I haven’t tried before, a Lean Cuisine Pizza. I picked this particular one because the ingredients looked pretty good, and there was 20 grams of protein in one of the pizzas. I pulled it out of my freezer around […]
Meals to Live White Chicken Burrito
Following my last Meals to Live review, last night I tried the White Chicken Burrito. It sounded delicious, and good for me too! It had 15 grams of fiber, 17 grams of protein, and only 5 grams of fat (and only 480 mg of sodium, which I don’t think is that bad!) I opened the box, cooked it for about […]
Amy’s Kitchen Macaroni & Cheese
Ok. I’ve heard excellent things about this dish, and I finally tried it. Seeing as the avid Amy’s Kitchen fan I am, I asked myself why have I NOT tried this yet? I’ll reiterate that I’m not a HUGE fan of pasta, but it’s yummy every now and then. So I steamed up some broccoli (my usual veggie of choice), […]
Amy’s Kitchen Indian Mattar Paneer
Amy’s Kitchen has yet to let me down when I have tried their meals in the past, and they certainly didn’t let me down with the Indian Mattar Paneer. Although I have had comments from people about the spicy smell that floods the kitchen (sorry!!), this meal is too good to pass up. The box says it’s “curried peas & […]
Alexia Sweet Potato Julienne Fries
Source First off, HAPPY 2011!!! As part of my last dinner of 2010, last night I had Alexia Sweet Potato Julienne Fries that I got the other day. Now, I’m not really a french fry kind of girl, seeing as I’m not usually crazy about ones that are made at home and I don’t eat fast food. But, these french […]
