Does anyone know - which ones are good

lisar wrote: Okay I cant leave work at all to go and get myself lunch and the girl who normally goes and gets it for me is out (hysterectomy) so I am having to bring my lunch. I have been buying T.V. dinners and all of them are not that good. Does anyone recommend one or a brand that I should get that taste good. And fill me up. I am not a sandwhich person so bringing a sandwhich doesnt really work for me. I have been getting the tuna and crackers lunch thingy but I cant eat that everyday.

coasterqueen replied: Nope, sorry. Some of the WW meals were very good to me the first 3 or 4 dozen times I ate them - I can't stomach them now.

amymom replied: Oh Lisa, you and I are alike. I am not a sandwich type person. Our microwave at the office broke, here is what I have been bringing:

Salad.

Yogurt, strawberries and crackers

Crackers and a few slices of roast beef or turkey.

I haven't been eating the pre-packaged meals lately, but when I did, I liked the Micaelena brand. They had a variety, like fried rice, pasta meals etc. Also I think the veggies that can be prepared in a microwave mixed with some leftover pasta is good too.

Not really tv dinners but hope it helps you!!!

I am gona try that Micaelena brand and see if I like those I havent tried them yet. And our microwave here barley works. The meal I brough today (which sucked) it says on the box 4 minutes. Well it took 11 in the mircowave. And the thingy dont turn anymore so like every minute I have to manually turn the darn thing to get all of it heated up. I keep telling my boss we need a new one. He dont listen though.

lisar replied:
I have never even seen any of these. I will look though.

Kaitlin'smom replied: IMO none of them are very good, some are okay but they wont keep me 'filled' for very long.

how about wraps, salad, soup, little frozen pizza's, hot pockets, make a little more at dinner and bring leftovers.

Now they could tast bad since your micowave bairly works, IMO I would ask the boss to either replace or let you go get one on company money, you can get one fairly inexpensive.

amymom replied:

I agree. Bad cooking will affect the flavor

boyohboyohboy replied: Lisa, I know its getting to hot for soup, but I always liked those campbells soup in a cup you can drink, and then some kinda snacks.....of course the salt content is high but most of the frozen dinners are too, or how about hot pockets?

PrairieMom replied: I like the lean cuisine chicken alfredo meal with the cinnamon apple dessert. yummy!

MyBabeMaddie replied: My favorite is stouffers

lisar replied: Thanks everyone you all gave me some great ideas. I told my boss I WANT A NEW MICROWAVE!!! He said okay. But he also said that about 4 months ago when I mentioned it to him then. I am just gona order one from Office Depot and then listen to them complain afterwards. Atleast I will be happy. LOL...
