Here's a topic - talk amongst yourselves.......

When I was a kid, I really liked the Swanson dinners, but that chocolate brownie was usually the best part of the meal. Now, I often have a few Stouffers and Lean Cuisine in the freezer. They taste good when I don’t have time to make my lunch or something. I’ve only tried Health Choice once and didn’t like it. I’ve been meaning to give them another chance.

I'm like Saffron, I used to love the idea of eating out of those aluminum trays. I think I liked the food ok, but the way the portions were all divided up, COOL. To those of you who think you are toughing it out with Stouffers...HAHAHA...those are Victoria and Alberts compared to the old Swanson dinners.

No.

Used to have them when my parents were leaving me with a sitter, eons ago. They were okay, but I never liked them much.

When we got married I bought some divided plastic trays. Sometimes I fill them with leftovers and freeze them. It's easy to pull one out for lunch or give the kids in a pinch. Seems lately with teens, we don't have as many leftovers, but I like my homemade ones LOADS better than the ones in the stores.

merrypoppins~ that is a great idea!!! mind if i steal it?

i buy them on occasion. i like the lean cuisine. the ones for kids arent enough to feed DS so they arent cost effective. he ends up eating 2! and he is only 6! not overweight though. i will buy them when kevin is out of town and it is just DS and me. doesnt make sense to cook all that food just to waste most of it. i havent figured out how to cook small yet. i never thought of making my own for when kevin is out of town. now i will do that instead. i dont really care for processed food.

Go for it. They sure taste better than the prepackaged ones and you could cook once for several days of meals if you planned it right.
