freezer burn

Welcome to FreezerBurn 2.0! I managed to take that YOOOOOOUGE (tm Trump) page where I listed every recipe, and made it easier to navigate? How? Well, now you can choose meals by main ingredient. Is this finished? Heck no. I'll be adding a "choose by brand name" option as well. But for now, I'm just darn happy I got this far. Most recent recipe is below. Well, it should be, in any case. Below that, you can choose an ingredient!

your lunch, milady...

Damon, my partner-in-crime at work, has been trained to present me with my daily lunch. Here, he cheerfully offers me my Chicken Parmesan. I tipped him well.
As frequent readers of my blog know, most days for lunch I have a frozen lunch from either Healthy Choice, Smart Ones, or Lean Cuisine. Other days I go hog-wild and can be found with my face in a tub of frosting. But I digress. As anyone who has experienced these meals know, what you get isn't necessarily as great as what you thought you'd get. "Wouldn't it be grand," I thought, "if there was a repository online that could tell me to avoid the baked fish?" I did a quick Google search and found nothing.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have thrown myself on the grenade for you. My mission is to try every single dietary frozen meal out there and let you know what it's really like. (And get some fresh content on my web site to boot!) I promise:

•  To be honest in my reviews.

•   To attempt to cook the meals as closely to what the directions indicate as possible. Keep in mind that South Jersey's Best Newspaper only has two microwaves to serve hundreds of hungry people. So to avoid having my head placed on a pike, I may have to skip the "let stand in microwave for 3 minutes" step.

•  To photograph what the box looks like, and what the meals really look like. I'm not a food stylist, and it boy does it show.

I'm not a professional food critic. Couldn't tell the difference between a Hollandaise and a Bechamel. But I love to eat. Isn't that enough?

I'd be remiss if I didn't give credit to the site that helped inspire this section...it's The Gallery of Regrettable Food by James Lileks. Also available in book form.

Choose a main ingredient, and I'll show you the frozen meals that I've tried.
