I’m hooked on the Lean Cuisine microwavable meals. My daughters are at the age where they’re running in and out just about all day long, so I like to keep things on hand for them to grab a meal whenever they need it. (Okay, I’ll be honest, I actually heat the meals up for them – my girls are nothing if not spoiled.)
I also keep them on hand for myself. I work from home, so I have the luxury of taking my lunch break whenever I want to (generally, whenever I Love Lucy comes on TV Land). One of my favorites, in fact the one I enjoyed today, is the Santa Fe-Style Rice & Beans. I like to eat it with either a heated soft tortilla or some tortilla chips on the side. My middle daughter, Brittany, who happens to be a vegetarian, loves this one too. My youngest daughter, Stephany’s favorite is the Spaghetti & Meatball’s meal and my oldest, Emily, is just like her mom… we love them all so much, it’s just too close to call.
Emily, Stephany, and I love seafood as much as we love any food, so we’re TOTALLY excited about the new Lean Cuisine line of Seafood Delights. Each has 350 or less calories and will be available in July.
The newbies are: Parmesan Crusted Fish, Shrimp Alfredo, Tortilla Crusted Fish and Szechuan Style Stir Fry with Shrimp.
Shrimp? Sign me all kinds of up!
The Lean Cuisine meals are perfectly healthy alternatives to fast food lunches. They’re surprisingly filling, too. While we only eat them for lunch, they could just as easily be used at supper. Served with a little bread and a bowl of salad or cole slaw, they’d be delicous and satisfying. And best of all, they’re healthy!

Lean Cuisine has good frozen meals, but I’ve never been fond of the frozen fish in these types of meals. It’s always gummy and very “fishy”.
