They have the point values right on the box, which makes them convenient, and they are - of course - pre-portioned. The ravioli is, like most of the low-fat tv dinners, not great. However, for their category, they are one of the better. There are only a few ravioli but the taste is slightly above par for this class and not overwhelmingly strong or spicy. If you're doing the plan anyway and are committed to finding decent, edible lunches or something on the WW plan, the Smart Ones Ravioli Florentine isn't a bad choice. — —...

My first one was South Beach harvest wheat crust pepperoni and it wasn't that bad. I would buy it again....

I've tried a lot of the desserts and this one is the best. It doesn't have a nasty after taste like some diet foods have and it tastes just like any mint chocolate chip ice cream you would get from a store. If your looking for a great snack that isn't fatty and tastes great i would recommend this...

Not only are they extremely high in protein, but they taste great and to be honest taste better than any meat ever did. They're low in fat, high in fiber and free of any nasty additives. My favorite way to prepare them is on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato, and spicy mustard. You can cook these on the grill or in the microwave, or even season them like you would a hamburger patty. —...

Half Baked Low Fat Frozen Yogurt is a truly decadent treat, but not as many calories as regular ice cream.  Each serving is only 180 calories and the flavors are very rich, so you won't have trouble stopping before you eat the whole pint.  This version is sweet and delicious and a combination of decadent fudge sauce and cookie dough.  The bits of cookie dough taste like real chocolate chips in the making and the fudge sauce adds some sweetness.  This is a decadent dessert to indulge in and will save your waistline a little of the extra fat.  It keeps the great ice cream flavor, but I like the creamier consistency and flavor of the frozen...

Ben & Jerry's "Lighten Up" Half Baked Low Fat Frozen Yogurt.  This appears to be a mix of the "Lighten Up" versions of two other frozen delights -- Fudgey Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.  I think that I actually prefer either one or the other.  For me this middle-of-the-road blend was a bit distracting but delicious just the same.

I reached into the freezer and grabbed a carton of my favorite ice cream and noticed it seemed awfully small. I knew they had reduced the carton size from a half gallon to 1.75 quarts earlier this summer but this seemed even smaller. The cylindrical container was overly squatty and odd looking. As I checked the label I read that it is now a mere 1.5 quarts and the price had increased by 30 cents. — — Checking out the other brands I noticed that there was a mixed bag of 1.75 and 1.5 quart sizes. While this may be a better size for the waistline it is deceptive for the consumer. — — Once returning home I checked out Edy's website. There is no mention of the size reduction and although I feel fairly confident in saying that it is a way for the company to appear to be holding prices in line they are not. — — I feel cheated....

I've been looking for quick and easy meals to give us more time for packing (in the middle of a move that is mainly being done on weekends). I was happy to find a new item in the freezer section at our local Walmart. It was Carrington Cornbread Stuffing. Ok so I grew up in the south and I'm used to homemade cornbread stuffing that is to die for. I decided that we would indeed give this a try. Hey, I'll do anything (almost) for convenience---once! — — Carrington Cornbread Stuffing — — This product comes in a 32 oz. tin and contains 8 servings. The front of the box has a pictures of an old plantation home and the stuffing served up on a plate. Yum! — — I was very interested to find the story of thie cornbread on the back of the package.  The recipe for Carrington Cornbread Stuffing is an old family recipe from a plantation home near Mobile,...

Especially if you don't take to eating just pasta and lemon butter sauce for your meal. The cooking time runs 4 to 5 minutes not including cool down so taking it to work may not be an option if you have a half hour or less of lunch time. — — In terms of calories (290 for the one bowl serving) it gets an A with me.  Paired with a salad and light dressing it makes a nice splurge meal but watch the sodium!  Ouch! 1260mg, over half a day's limit.  This definitely isn't a choice if you have high blood pressure. Most frozen foods are notorious for this but I think Zatairain's could still improve on this without compromising flavor. — — You are at least getting some decent nutrution. The meal is low in sugar and at...

Since I'm often disappointed with heat and eat foods, I've manged to pass every time - until this week. — El Monterey taquitos were on sale - FINALLY. I figured if I was ever going to get a box and try them, it was a good time. — If you're not familiar with taquitos, they are like tightly wrapped soft tacos and with various stuffings. Think of the little bite sized pizza rolls in bread that you cook a few minutes. They're sort of like that but long and skinny instead of roundish. — The ones I picked had chicken and cheese. They also had beef at the IGA. I thought chicken would be healthier. OK. Laugh. I know these are not healthy, but maybe I made the best pick considering I really wanted some taquitos. — I put these on a cookie sheet and heated them for around 15 minutes. You could also microwave them, but I find that really wrecks a lot of foods. Frying is another option, and I...
