Lean Cuisine - Cheese Ravioli

I always tell myself when I eat this that I don't like the sauce and that this meal is way too small. The sauce is super sweet, and there are 5-6 raviolis included. Yet I've bought this one too many times to count!! I guess it's a dependable meal, and who doesn't like cheese ravioli? I mean, c'mon. The sauce isn't that bad once you start eating it, and ravioli are just fun to eat. So I persist.

Lean Cuisine - Roasted Turkey Breast

This whole "extra-large(r)" lean cuisine, but no funny crumbly dessert? A lean-cuisine disappointment. Just the no-dessert policy, I mean. The rest of the meal was fine. The green beans were good, and the 2 dried cranberries were good as well. The mashed potatoes/gravy was above-average, and the stuffing was a little below average. The turkey was good. This was pretty filling for a lean cuisine, but nothing earth-shattering. Just a solid meal.

Lean Pockets - Pretzel Bread Sandwiches, Grilled Chicken Jalepeno Cheddar

"Pretzel Bread sandwiches, eh?" I thought to myself excitedly as I bought these lean pockets. The pretzel bread was kind of a letdown. It basically tastes like the usual lean pockets bread, only a bit thicker and with supposed salt crystals on it. Eh. But the inside of these was pretty good! It's basically cheese and chicken, but it's pretty spicy! I like a spicy food like this because it doesn't hurt my mouth but it has more flavor than your typical "mushy meat and cheese" frozen pocket food. So that was good.

Eggo Mini Muffin Tops - Blueberry

Oh, dear. These are so bad for you, but so good! They come in these cute little sheets of 4 "muffin tops" which you toast, and then eat by tearing them apart. They're great for a snack but not really for a breakfast. They taste like little pastries, but not like a blueberry muffin. Nonetheless, they're really good. :9

Old El Paso Hard & Soft Taco Dinner Kit

As far as at-home taco kits go, this is my favorite one! The taco seasoning is good, but not too spicy or overpowering, and the hard and soft shells are both good. The taco sauce included tastes like your standard taco sauce, so I usually use it because I don't want to bother buying a jar of taco sauce for at-home use. I recommend pairing this with some delicious yellow&white corn! Yum!

Uncle Ben's Ready Rice, Spanish Style

This rice is super easy to cook! Wow. It only takes 90 seconds in the microwave and no extra prep or ingredients. So I was pretty skeptical of how said rice would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted pretty good! What's more, it was cooked well. It wasn't mushy at all, but neither was it too firm. This is basically rice and a light spice/sauce coating, along with a few peppers. It makes a decent amount for a meal if you are one of those people who would eat a side dish of rice as a meal (I am one of those people). Good job, Uncle Ben's!

Protip: don't forget to tear the top of the bag to vent if you microwave this.

Hershey's Hugs, Raspberry

Hugs! I love regular Hugs. And I love raspberry. But together....I don't love it. The outside of these Hugs is a raspberry flavored mess. It's just too strong and too artificial. The inside is plain milk chocolate as usual. They do look very pretty and festive, though. I'd prefer a regular hug.
