This is not for people who just think they hate cooking - this is for people who really, really hate spending any time in a kitchen. (Or is it just my generation? Generation Xers unite!?)
I know a lot about this and I am stuck on a product called Homestyle Bakes. Everything is in the box. It takes all of literally five minutes - if that - to read instructions that a monkey (my mentality most of the time!) could follow right off of the box. It bakes for about 35 minutes or so. Put a salad with it and you have dinner.
I'm not even talking about the kind where you have to add your own chicken or anything. That's too much work!
It is a step up from a tv dinner and is perhaps much cheaper at about $3.00 a box to feed two really big eaters or 3 normal eaters in an 8X8 pan. Heck, there's 3 of us and when I use them - about 2 or 3 times a week - I will make two boxes in the 13x9 size pan and have some leftover.
The favorite here is the chicken and dumplings with beef stroganoff as a second. These are dishes that I, personally, would never adventure into if it wasn't for this product. There are about 11 or 13 different types out there.
If you want to know if it has nutritional value, then my answer would be that, yes, some do have vegetables in them. Well, it has a lot more nutritional value than if I had the desire to make it myself, I'm sure. Just do the salad part like I do to cover yourself!
I make my own tomato sauce (from cans, of course - 3rd generation Italian, thank you) every week and they die for it here, but I will even admit that I like the lasagna bake from the box sometimes. As poor Grandma is rolling over in her grave...
Be well,
Mrs. H.
