lean cuisine

I've been having Lean Cuisine for lunch the last couple of weeks. For some reason I just can not get on top of making my own lunches so this is a lot easier, & healthier than fast food.

Anyways - is it just me, or has Lean Cuisine seriously stepped up the quality of their food? The last time I tried some of their entrees was a couple years ago and I remember only liking 2 or 3 things. Now I've tried several different entrees (like 7 or 8) and liked them all.

The one I really love is the turkey one what comes with stuffing & cinnamon apples. I eat those on Mondays because I hate Mondays and I actually look forward to my turkey & apples, so it makes my day a little better. Hahaha. Also, just had the enchilada suizas and it was pretty yummy. I'm impressed.

    I used to live off of those. I finally get tired of eating them and the whole plastic in the microwave thing kinda got to me but I feel like they really progressed in the past couple of years. The food is way better! Oh, I love the enchilada and the panini ones too

  • I used to eat those religiously for lunch. They were great to take to work but I found that they didn't keep me very full.  I like that they were easy to track for weight watchers points.  I see on coupons dot com they have a coupon for lean cusine!

    I plan to get back to eating better ASAP, but I am like you and can never seem to get lunches made so I go with those or Smart Ones.  I will admit that they are WWWAAAAYYYY better than they used to be.

    Right after our wedding I seriously fell off the healthy eating wagon. I'm just not really making a full fledged effort to get back on. Embarrassed

  • I've been scared off from most frozen meals quite honestly. There is something about the weird meat texture and the soggy veggies that is just so....ick. I can only handle the pasta ones and only every so often. Maybe I'll have to try a meat one again though.

    I know what you mean! Honestly, the ones I've had lately are so much better then before. I think that the quality has changed, and I also think they have changed their heating instructions. It seemed like no matter what you were heating up (with LC) before, it was always like 5minutes on high. Today the enchilada suizas that I had was 8 minutes on 50% power and everything came out perfect, even the rice was like perfectly steamed. I haven't had any with veggies where the veggies seemed soggy or rubbery either. I'm seriously still really surprised (pleasantly).

    I have the same problem so I usually have a yogurt or fruit with mine and that helps.

  • DH is really into them and hasn't found one that he doesn't like.

     

    They're really cheap at Target (like $1.88 a box), so we stock up on them for his lunches or dinner when we're lazy.

  • I'm addicted to lean cuisine.  They are so yummy!  I love the sesame chicken.  I could eat that one every day!
