Microwaveable Meals

Since I am in the lab most days of the workweek, I've looked for easy lunches to make. Usually this boils down to either going to the student union for food or microwaveable meals. The latter is much cheaper, so it usually ends up happening.

The big problem I have with microwaveable meals is the salt content. Sometimes when eating something from Stouffer's or what have you I find the high salt content easy to taste. Not appetizing and not healthy.

Since Kashi microwaveable meals were buy one get one free at Publix this week, I decided to try them. One was Rosemary Chicken and the other was Southwest Chicken. Both were delicious - they are a chicken meal served on a base of rice and other grains with sauce and vegetables. The Southwest one had black beans, corn, pepper, and onion while the Rosemary had pea pods and baby portabello mushrooms. So, you get a good square meal in (though it is served in a bowl).

The sole downside is price. In this area, they're $3.59 a box, so if you can find a store that offers a buy one get one free occasionally on them it'll be a bit less expensive. About $1.80 for each is quite a bit better!

What other healthy but also delicious microwaveable options are out there?
