I haven’t had a frozen pizza in years, I’m vegan! If I find a cheeseless one I’m in though! ; )

GREAT EPISODE. I didn’t know there were frozen food taste testers out there – but what a great service to provide! I wouldn’t say I like any frozen food that much, but the Lean Cuisine line aren’t too bad as frozen food goes.

Man…. i am going to have to check out Freezer Burn!!!

QOTD:

Part #1 – Well…. Trader Joe’s carries this awesome flatbread….. i think it has ham, caramelized onions, and Gorgonzola or some kind of goodness like that. If that doesn’t count then give me some TJ’s Pizza Olympiad (but the cooking directions suck…. WAY off)

Part #2 – Ok… for this i have got to do a throw-back to the high school days! My mom used to get these microwavable spicy chicken sandwiches from Costco. They were awesome! I haven’t had them in years (don’t think they even make them anymore) but i SILL get cravings sometimes!

That’s a fun episode! Well, I’ve had a thousand Stouffer’s french bread pizzas in my life I believe. I also used to like the Swanson chicken dinners with the little brownie or molten cranberry-apple thing.

QOTD: I like Trader Joe’s frozen pizzas. However I usually buy the least expensive frozen pizzas at the supermarket. They rotate which ones are on sale each week.

QOTD2: My favorite frozen food palate changes more frequently than my wine palate. No favorite this week. Although I’m finding the Steamers (veggies and/or veggies and rice) to be very convenient.

Interesting show concept, but I don’t think it came together very well. Greg seems like a cool dude, though. Hot Pockets and Zinfandel – ya gotta love it!

QOTD: Best frozen pizza is definitely DiGiorno. Favorite frozen food of all time (because I’ve consumed so many of them) is the Stouffers French Bread Pizzas. I have lost count how many times I burnt the roof of my mouth on those darn things back in the day.

My favorite frozen pizza is and always has been Ellios. It’s rectangular and it’s delicious – Billy

QOTD Greg: Amy’s margherita pizza. NOM NOM NOM.

QTOD Gary: Frozen edamame, from Trader Joe’s — perfect for snacking at the in-laws while they’re chowing down on mixed salted nuts before dinner.

qotd-greg: has to be pepperoni.
qotd-gary: Maultaschen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maultasche). Since you like onions you should try them pan-fried. I prefer them simmered in broth.

And Gary: please follow me on twitter!

QOTD: I avoid frozen pizza – if I’m making pizza, I do so by hand. Just brought up eating handmade pizza. As far as other frozen foods are concerned, I have a thing for Mrs. T’s Pierogies. That, and Shaw’s frozen Potato Gnocchi.

Yum!

I too was once a frozen food lover, but I try to eat healthier now. I am sure I would like any frozen pizza. And I used to really like frozen pot pies and turkey. Those were the good old days.
