Oh, its been too long! I'm back from my trip and back on my frozen meal kick- it was a little hard to get back into it after eating such delicious (and not nutritious) food for 10 days-- its amazing how your body goes back to old habits so quickly...
Anyway-- I was stocking up on meals at the grocery the other day and spotted a NEW BRAND I had never seen before! The bright yellow box caught my attention: the brand is LightLife (brand makes other health food products but the meals are new!). I picked up the Linguine Sicilano Entree. Note: website says these are only available in the mid-Atlantic and NY (I never knew Columbus was mid-Atlantic, but whatevs) so if you aren't in those regions, you'll have to wait.
LightLife Linguine Sicilano
First off- you get a real feeling of "fresh" when you look at this meal. I LOVE that they keep the sauce separate so you can add as much or as little as you want- such a good idea. The ingredients in this dish looked and tasted fresh, and the whole grain pasta was awesome. Also, the serving seemed a little bigger than your typical LC or HC (always a plus!). The veggies featured in this dish are red peppers, asparagus, white beans, and tomatoes, with a delicous tomato sauce. The asparagus is awesome- really stood out!
I believe this whole brand is vegetarian- which would normally scare me. But this was really satisfying! The beans and pasta helped keep me full all night.
Some of the other entrees by LightLife are Asian, Mexican, and Indian inspired. I will totally be picking these up and will report back!
Overall- give these a try if you can find them in your grocery store-- and if you try any before me, please comment below and share your thoughts!
