Bird Eye Steamfresh Meals for Two
SEC-Tacular!
If you hate to cook, or just don't have the time (especially during the work week), but you want to eat healthy, and at the same time, you want dinners yummy enough to look forward to, Birds Eye totally has you covered.
God, how we love this product. Here's what happens.
1. Take a bag of Birds Eye Steamfresh Meals for Two out of the freezer.
2. Throw the frozen bag into the microwave. No, you don't have to cut it open, poke holes in it or empty it into a bowl. Nothing. Just toss the bag in and shut the door.
3. Run your microwave for about 11 minutes.
4. Remove bag from microwave.
5. Tear bag open at the pre-cut notch.
6. Dump perfectly-cooked meal out of bag and into dishes.
Dinner for two is ready.
No kidding.
And are they tasty? Oh yeah. We've put them to the test. Our favorites were the exotic Sweet & Spicy Chicken (roasted chicken breast with tomatoes, olives, raisins, onions and rigatoni pasta in a sweet and spicy sauce) and Asian Style Chicken Vegetable Medley (marinated grilled chicken breast with lo mein noodles and premium vegetables in an Asian inspired sauce). But there are six varieties in all, including Shrimp Pasta Primavera, Grilled Chicken Marinara and Shrimp Alfredo.
We tried every variety, and in every case the meals turned out PERFECT. The pasta was cooked to an al dente ideal, the meat was tender and juicy, and the vegetables were flawlessly steamed. We were amazed, because often these combination frozen meals can turn out unevenly cooked. Not so here. The entire meal steams right inside the bag.
But there are two more reasons to love Birds Eye Steamfresh Meals for Two. Ready? They're good for your body and your budget.
Each package has a suggested retail price of $7.49. That's dinner for two people at well under ten bucks!
These meals contain NO chemicals or artificial preservatives. And a quick look at the Nutrition Facts on the bag will make you smile. Most varieties contain between only 6-12 grams of fat per serving, and on average, they hover around the 50mg mark for cholesterol. Sweet!
Birds Eye Steamfresh Meals for Two are in supermarkets now!
Thanks, Birds Eye, for providing us with a labor-free, healthy, delicious and inexpensive option for dinner! You're SEC-tacular!
