Quick Reviews on 4 Not so Great Frozen/Boxed Foods

I have been getting tired of eating the same old things over and over again so I was on the hunt to find a few new quick and easy foods to make Anthony and I (this was before I decided to take the 18 week challenge). I bought quite a bit and tasted a few of them all ready, guess Anthony will have to try the rest by himself lol. Anyways here is what I thought of the ones I did try.

1. Frozen Asian Meal - I can not find a pic of this so at this time I do not know the name but it was a frozen Lo Mein with veggies and chicken. This meal was not good. The sauce tasted weird, I think it needed to be sweeter, and the chicken was soggy. Anthony did not like it either, he ate what I put on his plate but he said it tasted weird. I ate what was on my plate too but the leftovers made it to the trash. Not something either of us want to eat again and we will not be buying it again ever. 

Bottom Line - I would give it a 3 out of 10

2.  Velveeta Shells and Cheese with Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies -

This was ok. The macaroni and cheese itself was good. I liked how it only needed water to cook the pasta, and did not need butter or milk to cook it (because sometimes I run out at the last minute). It is not my favorite but I would say it is my 2nd favorite. As for the diced tomatoes and chiles... the concept was good and it did taste good BUT it was simply canned diced tomatoes and chiles in a little packet. There was nothing special about it. I could have popped open a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles and put it in a normal box of Velveeta and gotten the same (if not better) results. In my opinion they should have provided more tomatoes and chilies, as there really was not that much in there. 

Bottom Line: This was ok I would give it a 6 out of 10, 

It was good but nothing to rave about. I will not be buying it again but I may buy normal Velveeta or other varieties if they have them.

3.  Del Monte French Style Green Beans with Onions, Red Pepper, and Garlic -

This tasted like normal green beans with a little garlic added to it. Nothing special. Every now and then you get a red pepper but really, this was a waste of money in my opinion I will not be buying this again. It just taste too close to normal green beans and cost more.
Bottom Line: I give this a 4 out of 10

4. Stouffer's Cordon Bleu Pasta -

OK what to say about this?! This took almost 2 hours to cook! Very inconvenient if you ask me. It was just ok tasting too. The chicken tasted odd and it was chewy. The ham was chewy too. The pasta and Swiss sauce were okay though and the bread crumbs added a nice touch. Anthony did not care for it and made a very good point, that I could make the same thing from scratch and it would probably taste a million times better. He's right. It is just pasta, white sauce, Swiss cheese, cut up ham and chicken, and peas. It would not cost that much to make at all. I will not be buying this again either.

Bottom Line: I give this a 5 out of 10

Guess all of these turned out bad! I have about 4 or 5 more things that Anthony is going to be trying himself (because my diet). I really hope he likes those better than he liked these! I feel bad for buying him bad stuff, poor guy lol.
