the frozen dinners aren't good
Oh. OK.

leaving them for my hubby when I go away
What, you don't like the poor mistreated guy? :-)

The one we're eating now is a chicken stock, plus leeks, onion, garlic, rutabaga, yams, carrots, cabbage, cannellini beans (not a lot), parsley, lemon, grated lemon peel, rosemary, a little thyme, a little sage, vinegar, a teeny bit of sugar, and there must have been something else I threw in. It all went into the stock without separate cooking except the garlic, which I did saute in olive oil first and put in toward the end. Like, 20 cloves of it.
Geesh, that sounds like a lot of work.
Do you deliver?

You want the REALLY bad news? I'm the cook in the family. My wife HATES cooking. I've told her that if frozen dinners and canned food had never been invented, she would have starved to death long ago.

<<I'm lazy, but I want the food to be good, and the frozen dinners aren't good.>>

Some of the cheaper ones aren't but Marie Callandar has a good fried chicken meal. Boston Market has some good eats and I like Stouffer's Italian meals.

I also like Home Run Inn frozen pizza. I get the sausage and pepperoni. I take the pepperoni off and wrap it in paper towels and nuke it, then crumble it over the pizza. Takes the grease out and adds a bacon flavor.
