In a perfect world where I have endless time and energy, I get home every day and whip myself up a delicious 5-star dinner. In another perfect world where I have won the lottery, I pay a chef to do it for me...
BUT I DON'T live in a perfect world, and neither, I'm guessing, do most of you. And since we're all just normal folks trying to do our best when we're tired and hungry, we mustn't overlook the convenience of the humble frozen dinner. You probably shouldn't survive on TV dinners alone, but boy do they come in clutch on a tough day.

I can’t stand any of this stuff. Junk food, IMHO,.
Instant meals contain far far too much salt. Bad for your heart.
Husband adores all of those. Mostly, though, he fills the freezer with foreign foods I don’t recognize and whose odor lasts WAY too long.
I was raised on TV dinners in front of the TV, which was bright and shiny new in 1952. When nana died, we found the ice box bottom drawer was filled with the TV dinner trays. Come to think of it, there’s a cabinet in OUR kitchen filled with takeout trays. Hmmm. At least I can comfort myself that my packrat-i-ness is hereditary.
I’m surprised there’s no Boston Market frozen dinner on the list.
The reason I cook extra servings of some meals is to put in the freezer so we can avoid the TV dinner nightmare. About the only one I can do is chicken pot pie.
We didn’t get a TV until about 1965, so we ate our TV dinners at the supper table like any other meal. Even after that, the TV was in the living room, and Mom didn’t want everyone eating in there.
She saved some of the aluminum trays because they were handy for holding small items or small amounts of paint and such. Dad used them in his shop for such purposes also. He was the real packrat, and I inherited the trait (along with quite a few of his tools). Currently trying to clean out my garage, and I just know that anything I get rid of, I’ll need within a month or two.
I make a lasagna a couple times a year. We save out enough to eat with leftovers for about a week, and the rest gets vacuum sealed and frozen.
It's perfect for the *What's going to fall out of the freezer for dinner tonight?* days.
And it's far better than TV dinner quality.
I have no such excellent excuses. I’ll have to remember those.
We save out enough to eat AS leftovers....
Another thing I like to prep and freeze is chicken parm.
Making it is a pain, so I make a big batch and freeze it raw. Then let it thaw, fry it in a frying pan, which takes only minutes, put it in a baking dish with sauce and cheese, provolone or mozzarella, and bake.
I do that with a baking dish of Texas chicken spaghetti.
Aw geeze.
Wonder if Gary Larson ever drew a Salisbury cow?
I wish I could draw.
I never heat this frozen pre made crap. We cook from first priciples with real ingredients.
The sweetness is my complaint with any store bought sauce. Even quickly cooking down and seasoning a can of diced tomatoes yields a better product
Salisbury steak was developed during the recession in order to extend the meat with filler. Might become popular again.
That’s cute ...
At best they’re mediocre.
But I guess an author named Javelina can’t be expected to have discriminating tastes ...
the best part about tv dinners is
you got to watch tv while you ate them
Oh man. I’m revealing my age (immaturity).
I say pass on the Salisbury and tube variety and embrace the ribeye and t-bone variety!
