Grilled Chicken Pesto with Vegetables

You can find in the freezer section

What it looks like after it has been cooked



Today's lunch was the Health Choice Top Chef Steamers, I tried the Grilled Chicken Pesto with vegetables. It was really good, I just added a little bit of black pepper to mine and if I would have had a little garlic salt I bet that would have been even better. There was to my surprise a lot of chicken in this one, and you never know sometimes it seems that they don't put a lot of the meat in these things. The pasta was great mixed in the sauce. I do wish however they would have had more of the veggies in there, but I guess if they had to have picked something to have little of then the veggies were the right choice.
I give this one a big thumbs up and will be buying again. With only 310 calories and 21 grams of protein this was a great choice for a quick lunch.
So do you have a favorite low calorie lunch idea to share with me? I would love to hear it. Until next time have a great day!

Lean Cuisine - Vegetable Eggroll

Vegetable Eggroll

Today's lunch choice what this Lean Cuisine Simple Favorites meal. I love eggrolls so I picked this rice and vegetables with eggrolls. However do not let the photo fool you there is actually only 1 egg roll inside, I mistaken the photo in having two eggrolls.

I will start with the good news, this meal is only 320 calories for those of you watching your calories and have 2 grams of fiber. Which is a great way to start off your lunch!!

The rice and veggies once mixed with the orange sauce that is in here is pretty darn good. The orange sauce adds just enough hint of sweet to the meal. However, the eggroll was a little disappointing because due to the sauce that it sits in by the time this meal is cooked your eggroll is a soggy mess. It still taste alright but I had to eat it with a fork and knife because there was no way of picking it up like you would with a normal eggroll.

If I could make a suggestion to Lean Cuisine on this one I would some how have the eggroll separate so that the sauce does not ruin it. Or have a way of taking it out before you cook the rice.

Other than that it was a pretty good lunch, not as filling as some others I have had, but pretty good. Well that was today's lunch, again if you have tried one that I have not then please share with me and I would love to go out and try it. Until next time, have a wonderful day!
