not much going on my way or anything i can really share haha----
robyn and i went to the store this week, fully intending to come away with all the ingredients needed for wonderful homemade dishes for our week's dinners---
we left the local food lion with ready boxed meals where you do add your own chicken beef or tuna and frozen shrimp scampi and dare i admit----frozen pizza--
what i learned from this week's meals-----
okay---chicken alfredo is not good in the chicken helper--which was really velveeta chicken helper--
you still do pretty much the same amount of preparation with little taste-----in defense of velveeta---they do have several choices that are very tasty--one of which is their bacon ranch chicken----
in fairness this next part is very subjective as i rarely touch dishes with shrimp in them---- i sampled the shrimp scampi but could not stomach it for that night's dinner and ate instead, the horrible left-over chicken alfredo----
i learned that there are some brands of frozen brussel sprouts that aren't bad----bird's eye lightly sauced---only thing to change would be if they offered a larger size steamer bag---i bought two but for four people i could have used three----i mentioned that to a facebook status they had and they said they would pass that on to their production people---i will be waiting-
okay---those frozen pizzas are very good looking and so many kinds---and cheaper than even little caesar's
they are smaller when you retrieve them from their over sized boxes and they are tasteless and hard as cardboard crusts----of the few kinds we have tried, i would have to say--the tombstone are the best
oh and lastly---where oh where are the good flavored ice-creams---i mean i like ice-cream but can't hardly ever find a flavor i love-----and the few ones that used to have cake in them or pie crust have gone to hard beady little nuggets of something not resembling cake or pie crust in the least
just sharing the wealth of knowledge of this lazy weeks "cooking"
Hmmmm...better luck next week, especially in ice cream.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks joanne--maybe i will be a little more adventurous :)
ReplyDeleteOh for the perfect main dishes you can buy--not quite there yet. I did try the partially put together main dishes that you cook at home, but they were about $10-15 for a two person serving, rather expensive I thought.
ReplyDeleteyou know i have tried the dinners for two by "bertolli" they are about $6 and many choices---very tasty!
DeleteSounds like cooking to me. That's where I glaze over. I love chicken alfredo, but never tried the packaged deal. I probably won't now. :)
ReplyDeleteyou are right teresa--any time i use the stove oven or even microwave i am home-cooking ;)
DeleteI have made frozen chicken alfredo before and it never tastes even remotely as good as it does in the restaurants :)
ReplyDeleteawww man i was gonna try the frozen one this week---that has got to be better than the boxed kind ;)
