nahhh you just need to find a man that’s a good cook! 😛 bahaha. Frozen food is legit though, even though I happen to be blessed with culinary skills, I really depended on the frozen stuff in college. especially fruits and veggies, I hate spending $$ on the fresh stuff and then not eating them in time. And YES to fake meats, I lvoe the Boca Bruschetta Burgers, aaaand waffles too. chicken and chicken sausage were staples for me in college too, and I buy bagels in bulk and freeze them so they won’t get stale wooo!
I lived in a hotel for three months while we were building our house and ONLY had the microwave to cook with. It was tough! I ate a lot of frozen meals with added microwave rice and veggies to the side to up the calories.
For some reason your blog dropped off of my blogroll, I don’t know what the heck happened and when it happened…but it did. I think that I’ve missed quite a few of your awesome postings and drawings, sad 🙁
My hubby is the king of “cooking” frozen prepared items. When I’m not around he doesn’t know what to eat and usually eats either a frozen pizza or pretzels for dinner. But I love to cook, and since I used to be a professional chef I find it easier then most people I think.
oh no!! i’m sorry for the techie mishap…i dunno wat happened. maybe try taking it off and re-adding my blog?? i heard some other people say that my posts weren’t updating in their Google Readers, i tried to fix that one…oh, i hate tech probs! lol.
but i’m glad u stopped by and i sound exactly like ur poor hubby!! haha 😛
oh hey there. just terrible friend me here. dang it. why can i suddenly not realize that you are updating ALL the time and I am missing out. i feel like i suck at blogging lately…and if a post does not show up on my sidebar blogroll…i just miss it completely. i am going to work on it. seriously. i am sure i have missed a ton over here on your blog which makes me sad because i always learn SO MUCH.
loved this post. i am not necessarily a huge frozen foods girl. i spend WAY too much money on produce every month. but i can relate to the not so much of a meat person and I have been loving the boca burgers! so quick and easy 🙂 i also love healthy choice meals, the bbq chicken lean cuisine meal and recently tried the Amy’s stuff!
thanks for your comment today…it reminded me that I am missing out 🙂 hope you are doing well!!!!!!!!
u are NOT a terrible friend….haha, oh u’re too cute! u have been CRAZY busy over there!! again, with this disappearing blogroll, i dunno wat the heck is up, i guess Blogger and Google hate me. 🙁
glad u liked the post and even tho u can relate, i’m happier that u are NOT chained only to the micro and can cook…hehe. 🙂
I am not a huge frozen foods person – probably out of luck of circumstance though. There is always someone home and willing to cook in our house. That being said we do rely on frozen peas (sometimes eaten as a snack right out of the freezer…), frozen berries as the season is so short here, and we also store a lot of things in the freezer such as bread, some cheeses, and flour (keeps weevils away).
Oh, and there’s always ice cream….
My go to meal is always salad!!
Not your boring old salads though – I love looking through the fridge and seeing what could possibly be tossed together and topped by some delicious dressing (or go nude, depending on what I find).
Roasted vegetables with lightly sautéed chickpeas and feta is always another option or a massive stir fry.
If I’m cooking for the omnivores in the house – spaghetti, meatballs, roasted meats and vegetables, fresh home made pizza with their choice of toppings – basically it’s anyone’s guess what will be put on the table.
Then dessert comes around 🙂
You’re shrimp illustration made me laugh out loud!! I’m with you, I’m not a foodie but I love to eat. Frozen veggies, boca burgers and frozen fruit are my besties. I don’t buy frozen fruit I buy fresh fruit by the bags – grapes, bananas, pineapple, even apples. I cut them up, put in tupperware and freeze. I eat this all day long and usually before I go to bed too. It’s like a constant calorie supply. I stirfry when I can actually cook outside the microwave – it’s easy. I do frozen veggies and tofu or veggies and egg. It’s easy and soooo good. Or my favorite go to is to dump frozen veggies in a bowl and cover with cling wrap. I nuke em and then pour jarred marinara sauce into the bowl and if I have tofu already made that too, sprinkle nutritional yeast on top. Heat and eat. MY FAVE. Its so ghetto but I love it.

i’m loving the ‘ghetto’ style tofu veggie meal! let’s start our own little cookbook: ‘fit people eats the ghetto micro way’…watch out paula dean! 😉
oh my god I can even see the cooking show to go with! I’m going to start shopping for some baggy pants and a beanie…
