I know, I know. I am going to get poo-pooed right away by some just for the thought of cooking up a frozen concoction—and while it may seem like it, I don't actually use products like this all that much.
But from time to time they do come in handy. And at least to me, I think they are good.
For dinner last night I cooked up some On-Cor riblets and had a baked potato slathered with butter and French onion dip, and also had some buttered beans on the side.
What went on your table for dinner last night?

I had hot honey barbecue wings for dinner last night, with a side of potato salad. I'm going to sound like NJChicaa here, but those riblets don't look that appealing.

@porwest I’m not going to lie, we have BBQ riblet sandwiches in our vending machine in the break room at work, and I eat them all the time. They only cost $2 and are about the size of the McRib. At $2, I have no idea what meat I’m eating, or if it’s even meat at all, but it tastes delicious.

@moffittjc I really don't know what the opposition to them are. Man, a riblet of God knows what animal slathered with some BBQ sauce with some onions and pickle on it? Yeah. I'm eating that. lol

@kareng Now, when it comes to pot pies, I make those from scratch. I haven't had a store bought pot pie in years. But I will admit when I did, they were yummy and always worked in a pinch. They ARE cheap though. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to keep a couple in the freezer.

@just4him That would amaze me too. lol. I do have an eggplant in the fridge I bought when we went to Trader Joe's the other day, and the eggplant parmigiana I will make with it will be a meatless dish. The only other meatless dish I can think of that I make is spinach lasagna. Other than that, there's pretty much always meat in whatever I make.
Even when we make standalone salads in the summer, I put meat in it.

On-Cor is the brand? Hey, what happened to the plating of the dish lol? From the pic, I would not have known it’s a baked potato.

I'm all for quick, easy and frozen meals.
Your baked potato with french onion dip sounds interesting. I've been putting blue cheese dressing on mine lately.
Last night we had spaghetti with baked Perdue breaded chicken patties (see I'm a convenience person too).

I love On-Cor riblets. I had chicken strips and coleslaw. Have a good weekend.

I wasn't sure if that was mashed potato just because you added butter on top of it, I thought that might be egg I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner.
Last night we had Roti (flatbread) and fish curry. It roti was made by my hubby and curry was made by my sister-in-law who was visiting. It was delicious. But I had too much MASALAS for this summer. I quit for now.

HUM? I don't know what to say on that 1
but nothing special went on my table last night.
I just eat something here & there & called it
done, I have gotten where I don't make a
plate of food like 3-5 things on a plate.
We don't eat at a certain time everyday
& with Diabetics they say that's the way
to do it, well I GOT news for them, we can't
do meals on a schedule everyday, it's not us.
