A flipside to the thread on the worst.....

Do you have any favourite pre-packaged foods you indulge in?

Here are a few of my fave:

Gorilla O's - organic wheat o's cereal with a hint of cinnamon
Casbah Foods Lemon & Spinach cous-cous
Renee's no-preservatives dressings and dips

Your turn!

THere are several cereals we love. Kashi Heart Smart, Optimum Organic, and Gorilla Munch for my daughter.

Also, we've bought a couple of organic pizzas from Trader Joes which are surprisingly good as well. Not as good as homemade, but good for when we're in a time crunch.

I buy Annie's pasta and cheese for my daughter and add broccoli to it. She loves it.

We also buy Soy Delicious Chocolate Velvet icecream. Yummy!

Gardenburgers

ramen noodles (I know, they are not healthy! I found out I like Thai Kitchen Instant Rice Noodles almost as well, and now I have a big pack of rice noodles [more environmental than those little envelopes] and I'm trying to figure out how to season them yummily.)

various cold cereals

frozen and canned vegetables--such a great timesaver!!!

Amy's Enchiladas They have black bean tofu and cheese. Both equally yummy. And marie Calenders turkey Pot Pies. Of questionable nutrative value but yummy none the less.

Hmmmmm......
Are we talking about favorites that are nutritious, or the nutritionally bankrupt stuff? (When I was growing up, we had very little pre-packaged food in the house, so now I love it all!)

-Fantastic Foods big instant soup cups (Oh, the Minestrone w/couscous)
-Budget Gourmet Stir Fried Rice & Vegetables
-Ben & Jerry's
-Near East Tomato & Lentils coucous
-Bear Creek Tortilla Soup
-Morningstar Farms "Buffalo Wings" w/bleu cheese dip
-Morningstar Farms Black Bean burgers
-Mother's Peanut Butter Bumpers cereal
-lilyka, those turkey pot pies *are* good! Avoid the fat content information at all costs!
-Stouffers turkey & stuffing dinner
-Prego Garden Combination spaghetti sauce
-Brownie mixes!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a really good frozen vegetarian egg roll?

I love the fantastic foods stuff! have you tryed the galic/onion dip mix? yummmmmmm

we also really like Annies Mac and cheese. we have the rabbit seal of approval on our fridge

and i really like the black bean morningstar burgers too.
another pre packaged item we have on hand all the time is veggie refried beans in a can. the kids love them with a bit of cheese in a crunchy taco shell.....quick and easy lunch alternative to leftovers or PB & J.
I cannot wait to go to trader joes the next time i visit the ILs (ohhh! thats tommorrow!)
