On the Lighter Side

Many moms post about time-saving tips for recipes (freezer, crock pot, you name it). Maybe I'll be one of those moms one day, or maybe I won't. While browsing through the freezer section last month, I came across a new series of frozen meals by Lean Cuisine: The Marketplace. I haven't bought a frozen dinner in years, mainly because I never had a great experience with it. I'd rather eat Ramen.

There was nothing memorable about them and those flavors still exist on the shelf today, but the new Marketplace line shows that Lean Cuisine has caught up with the rest of the world and their options are now *more* globally diverse.

The two that I like so far are the Korean-style beef ones. The beef is surprisingly tender and there is enough sauce to cover the rice, and it's under 500 calories (320 to be exact). Others are not as great. If you want to do some research beforehand, the reviews on the company website are helpful.
Now that I've finished eating my Lean Cuisine lunch I better take a walk!












"this whole foods frozen indian tv dinner i just ate is terrible, why did I never learn to cook the cuisine of my ancestors"
There's no Indian option yet, Mindy. You should challenge Lean Cuisine to come up with them!
