As you well know, I am not among America’s Top Chefs. What I make doesn’t always end up described as “food”.   Because of this, I am always on the look out for a short cut to dinner. I was asked to try the new Marie Callenders Baked Meals.   They are frozen dinners that serve 4 and can be heated in the microwave in less than 15 minutes of in the oven in about an hour. marie callenders new baked meals family frozen dinnersI bought the Southwestern Style Chipotle Chicken Bake, Vermont White Cheddar Mac & Cheese, Scalloped Potatoes & Ham in a Creamy Cheese Sauce, and Three Meat and Four Cheese Lasagna. I spread them out and the boys voted to try the Scalloped Potatoes & Ham first. Lunch! I prefer things heated in the oven so I placed the Marie Callenders frozen dinner in the oven. marie callenders frozen family dinner in ovenAn hour later lunch was served! Marie Callenders scalloped potatoes with ham on plateYum. It was so easy that I started planning dinner with the Three Meat and Four Cheese Lasagna. Marie Callenders frozen lasagnaYum.   Yum. Both the Scalloped Potatoes and the Lasagna were very good.   It reminded me of a home cooked meal (not made by me).   The potatoes are buttery with a tiny bit of spicy kick.   The lasagna sauce is delicious and not sweet like other frozen dinners I have eaten. The portion size was good if it was just the boys and I eating together.   I would need to add another dish if my husband was going to join us. I guess I better admit that I also picked up a frozen Marie Callenders Key Lime Pie. Marie Callenders Key Lime PieYum.   Yum.   Yum. I mean I needed to FULLY investigate all Marie Callenders has to offer in the frozen food section do a good job… marie callenders scalloped potatoes and ham in creamy cheese sauceI was asked by The Motherhood to try Marie Callender’s new Baked Family Meals.   They provided me with coupons to cover the cost of several of the baked meals and I received compensation for my time and energy. It took a lot of energy to eat that pie. All the opinions are my own.   There are no left-overs in my fridge.
