Frrrrozen Foods for Easy Meals!
We've all had those nights.
You get home from work. You're exhausted. You shower, take care of a few things and look at the clock. Wow, how did it get so late? The idea of cooking a meal at this point seems overwhelming.
So out comes the frozen dinner, pop it in the microwave and you're good to go. Ahh, thank goodness for modern conveniences. But, have you ever taken the time to read the label on your beloved frozen dinner?
While I'm not here to fear monger or demonize any foods, I am interested in awareness.
I have those nights often! I also have busy mornings or times when I forgot to pack a lunch, etc. So consuming frozen foods in not a rare situation which gives me all the more reason to be aware of what I'm consuming.
Here is the Ingredient List from Barber's Chicken Cordon Bleu stuffed Chicken:
So what's a girl who doesn't want to cook to do?
Well, I have found some brands and products that I enjoy!
For comparison's sake, here is the Ingredient List of Real Good Food's Chicken Cordon Bleu stuffed Chicken:
Ingredients: Chicken crust (chicken, parmesan cheese, salt, grapeseed oil), Filling (smoked ham, Monterey jack cheese, onion, heavy cream, milk, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, sea salt, garlic, butter, black pepper.
Now that seems a little bit more recognizable! And still delicious and convenient!
Real Good Foods is one of my favorite frozen food brands. Their foods are high protein, low carb and made from real ingredients. All their foods are grain free, gluten free and made with all natural ingredients. They offer Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Poppers, Pizzas, Enchiladas, Breakfast Sandwiches, and Italian Entrees. My personal favorites are the Chicken Enchiladas and stuffed chicken breast!

They use antibiotic free meats, real cheese and organic ingredients when possible. They have breakfast bowls, burritos, enchiladas, oatmeal, flatbread sandwiches, egg white patties, entrée burritos and meals. My personal favorites are the breakfast flatbread sandwiches and egg white patties! Check them out here: https://www.goodfoodmadesimple.com/
Tribali Foods doesn't make meals per se but they do make meals come together in a snap! They make meat patties ready to be heated and served! They also make breakfast sliders to add some quick and delicious protein to your breakfast. They use organic meat, grass fed and finished beef, pasture raised and air chilled chicken and Non-gmo spices and seasonings to create the ultimate in clean label meat products.
