  Frozen dinners taste better when heated in a conventional or toaster oven instead of a microwave.

  Took me a while but I finally figured out, &quot;new and improved&quot; actually means, &quot;cheaper and less ingredients&quot;. <br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Nothing&apos;s is as good as it used to be. I am sorry for ppl who have big families and can&apos;t afford or even have the time to cook whole foods to feed them.

  I am 75 years old and living by myself and enjoy cooking for myself, I have usually always had a couple of frozen meals in the freezer as a standby but 5 years ago I was diagnosed as a pre diabetic and have found almost all of the ingredients contained in a frozen meal are unsuitable , high in carbohydrates, potatoes, rice, noodles/spaghetti, breadcrumbs over all meats, I don’t have any frozen meals and I still am not on any medication for diabetes because I cook for myself,

  I&apos;d like to get the old style TV dinners in the foil trays that took a long time to cook and the dessert portion would be scalding hot and anyone old enough to remember those probably remembers what it was like to have the molten lava like dessert stick to the roof of your mouth before you realized how hot it was.

  I truly question the “meat” in any frozen dinner.

  My elderly parents frequently ate Stouffers frozen meals and added canned or fresh fruit , applesauce or salads. My dad had Alzheimer’s and my mother was his caregiver. Even with help there was a lot to do. Stouffer’s made things easier for them.

  I work in the frozen department at a busy grocery store. I can tell you from what I see the most popular frozen dinners are: Stouffer&apos;s, Marie Calendar&apos;s and Amy&apos;s. Out of those I&apos;d say Marie Calendar&apos;s potpies, Stouffer&apos;s lasagna, and Amy&apos;s enchiladas are the top sellers.

  My children thought frozen dinners were a big treat. When their Dad went hunting for a week, &nbsp;they were allowed to pick out their own dinners. This was back in the late 70s.

  The secret to a frozen meal/dinner is to always, always (if the directions gives a choice) use the &quot;conventional oven&quot; method--it takes longer but it makes all the difference! &nbsp;If you want to get the most flavor out of your food, never microwave a meal! 🤓

  To many o these frozen meals keep going to a &quot;new and improved&quot; recipe which turns out to be garbage. &nbsp;It&apos;s nothing but cheaper ingredients to save a buck while the prices continue to go up and the portion sizes keep going down.

  I can remember the TV dinners of the 50s, the first ones, aluminum tray, three compartments of mouth burning goodness! Ahhh, those were the good ol&apos; days! They really were!
