Well, had this for supper earlier tonight.... a "Tai Pei" frozen brand Chinese entree, (the Orange Chicken variety).

Cooked it in the microwave in just under five minutes.

The vegetables were a hearty portion of broccoli, water chestnuts, red peppers, carrots, and a little bit of celery......which blended well with the sauce and chicken cubes all mixed inside this one paper bowl. I was pleased at the taste overall; as the chicken and vegetables weren't mushy, and the sauce had "just a hint" of orange flavor to it, which wasn't overbearing and in turn, give it a "knock of" kind of flavor that mimicked traditional take out.

Overall not bad.... I'd certainly buy this again ☺; and perhaps I'll try one of their other varieties at some point in the near future.

(The cost was $3.99 each)...... which is a bit on the "higher end" for a frozen meal probably, but was still worth it I think, as the quality was good.

Like last week, another trip to the frozen food aisle for me lately. Bought one of these, amongst other things:
960421802-ECOM

It wasn't too bad...... the macaroni was firm, the chunk-sized chicken pieces were decent (at least for a frozen item anyways) and the sauce wasn't too bad either. The spicy part of it was true in many ways..... as the entree had a bit of a "kick" to it throughout my eating it, which kept my tastebuds entertained.

Not enough to be *really* spicy, but still..... the sauce kept it from being bland and boring and kept it interesting enough to make me want to finish it.

(Cost: was 4 of them for $ 5 - or, $1.25 each) with my Club Card. So it was a cheapy but still a goody.

Never had the spicy version. I love the regular alfredo they have.

The spicy Alfredo one is a regular buy for me.. for a cheap frozen meal it's not half bad

Well anyway.... as it turns out - the specific entree (above) was out of stock at our local store this weekend, and so.... I had to obtain an alternative..... and *this* turkey thingy (below) was in the store and was purchased and tried yesterday ☺:

148010842-C1N1


I was keen on trying the "Boston Market" line of frozen foods lately; and so - I was interested in buying and sampling their brand specifically, so I could compare it to some others I've had..... other quick lunch options I see at the store like: "Banquet", "Hungry Man", "Smart Ones", "Stouffers", etcetera.

And so, I popped this into the microwave yesterday afternoon...... and I gotta say, it wasn't too bad overall (for an easy lunch)...... the mashed potatoes were real tasting, and weren't some cheap instant kind (which I don't mind eating either) but it was nice perk in any case, and the vegetables were good but a bit on the plain side with no butter or seasonings, (which might be a drawback to them for some).

Plain veggies are fine with me too, (sometimes even preferred) and so, it wasn't a deal breaker there. The turkey slices themselves were real pieces, that tasted like what I'd get at the deli carving board..... so not too bad there either.

The only issues I seemed to find - were that the turkey pieces and the mashed potatoes were all kind of "lumped together" in one big container portion (with the vegetables being on the other side), which made it feel more like a bowl of comfort food, as opposed to an entree that could go on a plate.

(The cost was $ 3 each with my Club Card, so not bad financially either).

I'd probably buy it again..... but only when I'm in a "comfort food" kind of mind probably - and don't mind my entree being a big mixed together mess in a bowl.

I'll probably sample some of the others they've got first though.

Next to the wheel, I consider the microwave oven being the best/greatest invention of all time!
