Desktop lunch review: Chicken and other randomness

Today’s toteable mid-day nourishment comes from Healthy Choice’s collection of steaming entrees, and it’s so close to being a good dish I just had to blog about it. Honey Balsamic Chicknen for 210 calories. What could possibly go wrong? Almost nothing, really. The sauce was wonderful. You could dip inedible objects in this sauce and [...]

Desktop lunch review: More pasta, less angst

Yesterday I was throwing my own pity party after meeting with the nutritionist about my post-surgical dietary restrictions. That conversation was jolting in a shit-just-got-real kind of way. Today I have a better perspective.  My relationship with food has to change and taking the most drastic step of bariatric surgery will help force that change. [...]

Desktop lunch review: I want my ‘shrooms

Oh, Healthy Choice, I want to like you. You do so many things right. But you lie to me. And today? I didn’t need to be sold a dream. I met with a nutritionist this morning who spent an hour going over what my menus will looks like just prior and a for at least [...]

Desktop lunch review: bring on the barbecue

Today’s frozen concotion comes from the kitchens at Healthy Choice and is inspired by one of my favorite Bravo shows, “Top Chef.” I have a long workout tonight, so I chose the most rib-sticking lunch I could find in my freezer this morning: barbecue seasoned steak with red potatoes. Why, oh why, do these things [...]

Desktop lunch review: Pao! Wham! Eh.

Today’s frozen, mass-produced food morsel comes to us from the good people at Healthy Choice, Kung Pao chicken in a steamer tray. I think producers of mass-marketed frozen diet entrees really love Asian-inspired foods. And what’s not to love? Rice,  veggies, white meat chicken and a bit of spicy sauce and WHAM! You have an [...]

Desktop lunch review: Meatless Monday

I will never be a vegetarian and certainly never a vegan (love and respect to those who are but it’s just not my scene) but I am trying to make meat a smaller portion of my daily food intake and make veggies and fruit the bulk of what I consume. So today I am dining [...]

Desktop lunch review: Deceitful soup

LIARS! I really dislike liars. Especially when it comes to nutrition labels. I have ranted about this before, and here it is again, this time from the folks at Healthy Choice. This SINGLE SERVING bowl of cheese tortellini soup is pimped on its front label as offering 3/4 of a cup of veggies and only [...]

Desktop lunch review: Fiesta

I love, love, love Mexican-inspired foods.  And beverages, too. Tequila and I go way back. Today’s lunch time treat is a product of Healthy Choice, a brand that I’ve not found to be very enjoyable in the past. Of the three giants in the frozen diet food market, its food tends to be my least [...]

Desktop lunch review- pasta with not much else

Today’s culinary exploration takes us to Italy, in what I imagine is the processed food world’s riff on authentic Mediterranean cuisine.  Clearly the folks who work at Healthy Choice’s test kitchens are like me and have never actually been to Italy. This is Lemon Herb Chicken, a dish described on the box as “chicken tenderloins [...]
