There's these bags of frozen dinners. They're all easy. Heat a pan, put in a little oil, dump the bag in, cover with lid for 5~ minutes and then take the lid off and cook another 7~
They're alright for being quick, having actual meat like shrimp and chicken, and the vegetables never turn out soft and soggy.

This stuff is pretty dam good, although for over 3 bucks I'd usually rather just make something myself.

Most of the time when I'm with my friends and they opt for something frozen they'll just chuck it in the microwave. I'm an oven man myself, unless I'm feeling really slovenly and impatient.

[I'm drunk so really sociable, forgive me if I sound like a valley girl]

Lean Cuisine is really atrocious to me. When I was fat in 2010, I thought me being hungry after a Lean Cuisine meant that I couldn't control my appetite. Now I just realize that it really isn't a lot of food.

I prefer a Hungry Man than a Lean Cuisine, but I also say that as somoene who doesn't normally eat frozen foods. So if I'm bringing a meal to work that's frozen, I'll bring a fried chicken Hungry Man. It's delicious, it's a good amount of food that'll satisfy me, and it's really not so bad. So I'll buy that.

Amy's is also something else that is really good, except in the case of an Amy's frozen dinner you could eat it all the time. You can't eat Hungry Man all the time. You get a decent amount of food, you feel satisfied, and it's delicious.

Burritos are good too. shit, thaw that fucking burito in your car it'll taste good.

>>8947121
These really could have more Like, if it had as much food as is in that bowl then I'd buy it. Jimmy Deans always comes up short when it comes to the actual food you get, whether it's in quality or the amount of food, or even the calories since sometimes there's the Big Mac effect where it's 500 calories but it feels like you only ate half the food you really wanted.

>>8947343

I eat this exact amy's meal at least twice a week

>>8947510
Weird that a frozen meal is a routine. Could just make your own by then, freeze it, and reheat it!

>>8947121
I don't know how the wolf pit isn't a ck meme, he's /ourdad/ with those awful jokes!

Pretty sure they just glue the boneless meat on to bones because the meat: bone ratio is way higher than that of a normal chicken.

>>8947343
How do you guys afford these Amy's dishes? They're like triple the price of average frozen meals.

none of them are "good"

All of them are mediocre. I eat these at friends houses when they have nothing, or when I am super hungry and tired after a hard workout. They are sustenance and nothing more.

all that being said I think the enchiladas, beans, and rice are a safer bet in terms of taste than most of them

I tried this the other day and it was pretty good. it's pretty expensive for frozen food though. the bertolli bag things are ok too, but I can never find any of the flavors I like anymore. as far as microwave dinners go I like the zatarans and chilis branded ones, but I haven't seen them in the store recently either.

==I wouldn't recommend you guys to eat refined, additive-filled foods. Eat whole grains, meat, veggies, fruit, drink water and tea and your life will be happier.==

>>8946909
Did you see the ingredient list in the back of the bags? You're going to shit bricks if you know what you're eating. Just google what additives you're chowing down and what harm can they do to your precious body.

>>8946915
Ventilate before you start. Open windows and turn on fans to direct air outwards or, if it's summer (or you're lucky enough to have air conditioning), power it up. The same goes for those of you with ranges with hood ventilation.

Close the doors to nearby rooms so that the smell doesn't seep into the bedroom, living room, and bathroom, slowly but surely taking over your entire life.

Clean up immediately. It's tempting to eat the hard-earned latkes right away. Yes, sneak a few for yourself, but then start cleaning (or employ a helper!) A.S.A.P. Once you've disposed of the oil, clean the pots, pans and appliaces and wipe down the stovetop, counters, and nearby walls (!) with kitchen degreaser.

these are simply the best

You can freeze pretty much any type of meat pie and reheat in the oven with great results, but that said I don't know any good meat pie brands on the market, but that doesn't mean you can't make it yourself.

It wouldn't make sense to use the package weights. Some of it could just be water, which isn't food.

>>8950724
you got me there, just guessing was definitely the way to go for a nice, accurate calculation

>>8950729
What guessing? The calories double, logically all of the nutrients double.

Imagine one Amy's dinner. Then imagine another Amy's dinner.

That is the caloric equivalent of a Hungry Man meal.

With slightly more sodium in total. Which is the original point I was making.

Except you get a balanced and filling meal without relying on double the empty calories like hungry man, which leans heavily on sodium for flavor rather than to preserve (relatively) natural flavor. That was MY original point.

The wolfepit guy has a lot of heart. He's literally paralyzed and can barely has full control of his hands. You'll notice he usually holds knives and spoons in an odd uncoordinated way.

He's working in IT or something related from home as far as I can tell, so Youtube isn't his primary income. I wish he did more BBQ/grilling videos rather than microwaved meal reviews though. The higher viewcounts probably pushes him towards the reviews too much

>>8951717
plese tell me where you can buy chicken breast and cheese for less than $1.50

>>8951727
He addressed that in a recent video. He said the limited mobility and need for aid when handling things is why he hasn't been doing as many bbq videos.

Can't remember the brand name, but I always stock up when the frozen spinach and ricotta bakes go on sale for $1CA/each. They're surprisingly good.

The dish is almost entirely pasta.

The only cheese listed is parmesan, and it comes below spinach on the list of ingredients. And there isn't a lot of spinach.

There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of chicken either, maybe one breast cut up.

1.50 is stretching it a bit in my opinion, but it could be doable if you find some sales.

>>8952382
To be fair, if you spend $15 total on all ingredients (let's say the person needs everything) to make a few meals, unless you get one hell of a deal on this or the other, there isn't that much of a difference price-wise than just buying a couple of the premade ones.

>You can buy chicken from any Walmart for $2/lb
fucking where? chicken breast is $5.99/lb at walmart or most grocery stores where I live. even if I go to the mexican corner store and get 2 bone-in breasts for $2.99 that leaves nothing for the rest of the ingredients. the cheese alone is going to cost at least 50 cents/oz for even the cheapest american made kind.

>>8953998
>fucking where? chicken breast is $5.99/lb at walmart or most grocery stores where I live.

I've lived throughout the Midwest and the South and I've never paid more than $2.50/lb for chicken breast. Not even the organic chicken breast is $6/lb

Stouffer's is the best brand for general frozen meals as long as you stick to American/Italian options.
El Monterey destroys Jose Ole
Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hashbrowns are amazing.
Zatarain's Blackened Chicken Alfredo is good.
Barber Foods chicken stuff is pretty much the only chicken main frozen item I like.

Vast majority of Asian meals are low quality and filled with low calorie sweeteners.
Mexican dinners usually suck but Herdez make a few that are ok even if they look ugly.
