Marie Callender's Creamy Vermont Mac & Cheese Bowl

 Marie Callender's Creamy Vermont Mac & Cheese Bowl is okay. I wouldn't say good but when it's cold as my sister's heart in Vermont this would be a nice way to get something hot in your guts. I would have added some pepper or something, but this is creamy. 

It doesn't have the low quality vegetables that normal Mari Callender's frozen meals do, but it doesn't have any vegetables. My biggest complaint about this is that it's not good for you. It tastes fine, but it's not wonderful.

Marie Callender's Chicken Teriyaki Bowl Sweet Pineapple

 Marie Callender's Chicken Teriyaki Bowl Sweet Pineapple is an odd bird with it's low quality vegetables and almost no pineapple. Then, do you really want teriyaki pineapple? I mean, it was fine but felt odd. I liked it better than the water chestnuts.

The biggest thing about this bowl is that there aren't enough vegetables, and the ones you get look like the odds and ends left in the machine after the good ones get used. There could also be more chicken.

The whole thing was okay, but I wouldn't call it filling or good.

If you can't cook and need something to take to work this will do. I would even say if you don't have a big appetite and need food at home but can't cook this is okay. I wouldn't say this is something I can recommend to a friend. 

Marie Callender's Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs

Frozen or canned spaghetti has always been a product that puzzled me.  I mean, it's so easy to make spaghetti. Spaghetti and meatballs is not Italian, buy the way, Spaghetti is, and meatballs in sauce are a thing but the combination is American. 

Marie Callender's Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs is surprisingly good. I mean, I think I still have some frozen spaghetti I got at a good price that was not worth it in my freezer.

The four meatballs this came with were firm and made of meat. It tasted like real meat. I mean, real meat, and the sauce tasted good. This is really good for frozen spaghetti. It feels sad and wrong, but tastes great.

Marie Callender's Aged Cheddar Cheesy Chicken & Rice Bowl

 Marie Callender's really thinks people will believe that this is an Aged Cheddar Cheesy Chicken & Rice Bowl. Look at how little broccoli there is in there. There is even less chicken. Chicken shouldn't be in the name of this, because there is no chicken. There was a chicken near this when it was made, maybe, but the chicken is nonexistent. 

Seeing that this was an environmentally conscious meal I had so much enthusiasm for this, but it was so disappointing.  I would have been fine had I dumped it on top of chicken and broccoli. There just wasn't enough of the stuff to make this work.

Marie Callender's Shrimp Mac and Cheese Bowl

There isn’t all that much to say about Marie Callender's Shrimp Mac and Cheese Bowl. It could have used more shrimp, it could have used vegetables of some kind. It had the creamy sauce that one would put over pasta that was far thinner than the cheese one normally has on Mac and Cheese.

The shrimp themselves were okay but I think I only got five of them and they were small. I’ve seen worse in the way of shrimp. The whole thing didn’t smell fishy, and where as it was over before I knew it the meal wasn’t bad.

My biggest gripe with this is the size, because it felt rather small, but then I guess it wasn’t that expensive. This meal would have been better finished with more protein and fiber. It needs vegetables.

I would get this again, but I would, in fact be, able to eat two or three of them.

Marie Callender's Fried Chicken Mac And Cheese Bowl

 I don't know who at Marie Callender's thought this Fried Chicken Mac And Cheese Bowl was a good idea, but they should get canned. It's bad chicken and there isn't much of it. I guess the noodles are okay, but they are on the bland side. 

If it were not for the fact that I was eating this for a review I would be questioning my life choices with this meal.  Dumping some vegetables on top would have made it better, but not by much. 

It does get points for being eco-friendly food featuring a paper tray. It'll still go to the trash heap, but I guess it will brake down faster and not release harmful chemicals if burned. 

Great idea, poor execution. 

Marie Callender's Tender Ginger Beef & Broccoli Bowl

 I know I complain about this a good deal but there was almost no broccoli in my Marie Callender's Tender Ginger Beef & Broccoli Bowl. I like broccoli and beef with broccoli is what I get when I buy 'Chinese' food. 

This beef and broccoli could have used more beef and more broccoli but the whole point of the food is to get that broccoli down. I feel like I should have made my own broccoli and dumped this on top. 

It tasted okay, just didn't have the right stuff.
