I loved their frozen foods -- they are such good quality for premade meals, easy to put together, and cheap. Great for when I get home late from work and don't feel like cooking!

What dinners of theirs are good? I mostly have just gotten the tortilla chips and french fries (very low in calorie fries).

Excellent place and got the good, healthy, organic stuff.

I like the potatoe puffs or veggie puffs. Yummy!

I've like just about everything I've tried. Maybe I'm easy to please hehe.

Sounds like you are a healthy eater, if thats the case I'd endorse the shrimp stir fry. Basically frozen shrimp and veggies with some seasonings to add. I also like their brown rice penne which is a healthy alternative to regular pasta. Oh, and the vegetable potstickers!

Have you tried the shumai or the dumplings in the frozen section? You can nuke them in a minute and eat!

I usually eat the spinach pie for lunch (I get 4 servings out of it). I also like the veggie enchiladas. FH LOVES the shrimp stir fry. I've liked pretty much everything I've tried.
