Does Anyone Use Heat & Eat Food For Meals?

Tonight I made my first ever pizza! The pizza dough was store bought Pillsbury and then I added homemade marinara sauce, mozzarella, green pepper slices, white onion, mushrooms, and black lives, and topped all with grated Romano cheese. Good, but ate too much. Next time I will try my hand at making my own pizza crust. Why do people call pizza junk food? I'm Italian and insulted!

I have never made pizza crust before. Unless that pizza kit in a box counts? I made that for myself a couple times. It works out alright if I use the whole box in one pan.

Pizza is not junk food. Maybe pepperoni could qualify but the crust, the tomato sauce, the cheese. the onions, the peppers, the olives, the pineapples, the meats etc. are not junk.
 
of course we have frozen meals..so does half the country...largest portion of space in grocery stores are frozen foods...heat and eat....or......chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs....yea:p

Put a dollop of 1000 isle on it, ate the whole thing
My lady came back
Asked if I'd emptied the compost bowl

Told her I did

ROFLMAO until my stomach hurt!
 
I have a couple of Stouffer's meals in my freezer, but they're an absolute last resort. If there's nothing else to eat, not even crackers and cheese or peanut butter, I might nuke one of them but usually end up throwing them out after they've been in the freezer for six or more months. Lucky for me, I have a small appetite and food is just something to put in my belly to keep from being too hungry.

BTW, peanut butter on cinnamon-raisin toast is pretty good...
 
Years ago when I was working I ate Lean Cuisine, Budget Gourmet, Healthy Choice, etc. on a regular basis. I got tired of them. Now I rarely buy them even when they're on sale for $1 or whatever.

It's easy to cook meals and freeze extras in containers. Tastes much better.
 
We keep a couple of good TV dinners and a frozen pizza on hand. Some days we get rather busy, and cooking a supper would be a real hassle, so on one of those days, we just pop one of these in the oven, and within a few minutes we're good to go. I wouldn't want to make these prepared meals a habit, but once every couple of weeks is no big deal.
 
I cook real food from scratch and always have. It's not hard to do but it does take effort and practice to do well.
I think the ability to cook for oneself and others is a basic life skill like driving a car or hammering a nail......I can't imagine not doing it.
 
If you mean zap-in-microwave, no.
I haven't seen them in many years, but I occasionally liked to have sliced turkey with gravy or chicken a la king that you could boil in the bag and then put the contents on potatoes or bread. The only product I've seen lately that's kinda similar is chipped beef with gravy, but it's not the same.

I appreciate the fact that I can cook but also appreciate that I don't have to at times. The main joy of retirement is doing as I wish, when I wish.
