Have you ever had aTV dinner

I don't often eat TV dinners but I do buy a few to keep on hand on those nights I really am feeling lazy and don't want to cook as I usually cook from scratch and make everything homemade. Urgh..I never cared for Banquet..LOL...yes they are cheapies and can do in a pinch but I just don't care for them. I used to do a lot of Mexican style cooking...but since it's only me now, making homemade tamales, homemade empanadas, etc...well lets put it this way I'd be eating a lot of Mexican food for a long time...LOL..so in a pinch will get the Swanson Mexican dinner...not too bad..LOL I just might start doing some of that again...the idea of making large batches of a type of food, like Manacotti or Lasagna, portion it out and freeze...then I would have my own homemade frozen meals

I remember when Swanson and Banquet came out - well at least when I was a kid, and wanted one of those really neat little dinners and we never got to have them! I would have killed for a tv dinner on a tv table in front of the tv!! We didn't have any of those things but I had heard about them from the other kids!!! Once in high school, when mom would get them for 4/$1.00 we'd have them and it was the coolest thing ever!!! Back then they were in alumium "trays" and you had to put them in the oven for 35 minutes! But those two although still really good, are not the healthiest of varieties. and don't have much to them to get full on unless you have a very small appetite. But when they go on sale for a dollar...hard to pass them up if you are counting pennies. I try to buy the Marie Calenders when they are on sale for 4/$10. But recently tried the Lean Cuisine when they were 2/$5 and they were pretty good and filling.

It's been a long time since I have served TV dinners to my family. I do happen to like the banquet brand. When I did serve the TV dinners we only did the chicken. Any others seem to be so artificially flavored. I do may my own now because of the family's schedule be so different. It is so much easier to pull one serving of any thing out of the freezer and heat up. I heat them up on the top of the stove instead of heating the oven.

I have not ate a TV diner in a long time. I used to love them back in my single days. Back when I could buy 15.00 worth of groceries and it would last me all week lol. The last time I had one it didn't taste as good as I remember not fill me up as much. My husband said even the hungry Man doesn't fill him up But I bet it would fill me up better than some of the others.

yes i have TV dinner every night... i love it... :)

I hardly EVER eat frozen dinners but I actually really like SmartOnes dinners. they taste really good and are pretty low in calories too. I dont know if you care about that... some people dont. But, in that case, if you're still hungry, they are low cal enough that you can have something with it. I love the vegetable lasagna. :-)

I don't eat tv dinners but I have bought them for my husband before because he likes them . Mind you there is not much in them so I have to make three of four for him to leave him feeling like he at least ate something . It is not often I buy them for the simple fact that he has to eas so many of them to be able to feel like he had a meal and they are not cheap :)

I will keep a couple in the freezer for an emergency meal but they never ever fill me up. On-Cor makes pretty good frozen dinners.

i like certain kinds of tv dinners...and we eat them a few times a week...i work until 1 p.m. so it is something quick, easy and not to filling so when dinner time rolls around i'm still hungry...the most i have spent lately on one is about $1.50 so it's not too bad...

I haven't had a TV dinner in forever... i used to eat them sometimes like when my parents didn't have time to actually cook something. we would throw a couple in the oven or i would eat them when my family was having something i don't like .. i'm pretty picky eater lol. i don't really care for them. they have some okay ones and the brownies are usually good lol but other then that i don't really like them. i think fresh food taste so much better...

Most of the time when we feel that we are bored out we then have tv dinner and infact that is the time we enjoy and we let ourself out when we have together.Actually my husband ikes it and he enjoys. Regards

I have a hectic schedule. So, getting TV dinners is a good and quick way to feed the family. I don't eat alot of them, per say, but they are there if we need them. I do have to say that the Banquet brand isn't the best brand out there. There are so many other brands that are better and do fill you up.
