Marie Callender's Frozen food recommendations

[Jenn Lynn]

My sister suggested that I try the Chicken Pot Pies by Marie Callender. They were really good!
So I was wondering if anyone here has tried any of her other products? Any recommendations?

Most of them are good.

But I have to tell you, one day I tried one of the pot pies for lunch at work (the broccoli/mushroom one). I couldn't finish it all, and was really full. I looked at the side of the box. It was two servings, not one (silly me), and EACH serving had 40 grams of fat and 800 or 900 calories!

Can't say I buy too much Marie's any more.

btw, congrats on the baby!!!!

Thanks clutter!

I just went and looked at mine. 630 calories in one pot pie (1 serving) 350 are fat calories. 36 Grams of fat.

I have a hard time finding things to eat for lunch. I like things that are quick and easy if we don't have leftovers.

I will have to check out her other products!

But they sure are TASTY fat calories.....

I gave up on frozen foods, lost my taste for most of them. I'll buy some good ham from the deli and some good bread, and make some sandwiches and stick them in the freezer. Just grab one in the morning and go. Or, keep some baking potatoes around.

Of course, I have a sign in my kitchen that says, "If you are what you eat, I'm cheap, fast and easy."

Jenn Lynn, just check out ingredients carefully. Some of her foods contain things like MSG (monosodium glutamate) which aren't great for pregnant gals. You're better off with less processed foods. (Bryer's ice cream has LOTS of natural ingredients!).

Congrats on your pregnancy!

I like the Cheesy Chicken & Rice. I used to buy the Spaghetti & meat sauce, but they changed the formula for the sauce and now I don't like it as much.
