I used to work with a woman who bought a container of microwaveable beer cheese soup from the grocery store. She ate most of it at work and was sick for the next week. I’ve steered clear of beer cheese products since.

I made beer-cheese flatbread last weekend. (OK, so it's not exactly microwaveable -- only the leftovers are. But it is food out of a box, so I'm writing about it anyway.)

A great success. My first "homemade" bread ever. It was made with Corona, eggs, Cheddar cheese, and beer bread mix (mostly flour). Then, it was plopped onto a cookie sheet, topped with more cheese, and baked for 30 minutes.

Easy as pie.

I bought a couple of microwave dinners the other day, and I decided never to buy them again. Without giving a brand name, I got a kind that had little compartments for each part of the meal, and none of them heated up correctly.

I think it would be better to chose a meal that was solitary (like your lasagna), and didn’t need a compartmentalized tray. Of course, you can never go wrong with pizza rolls, either.

Eating big meals helps my post-up-and-muscle-the-ball-into-the-basket physique. Gotta keep in shape for old-guy basketball.

Not much of a microwaveable dinner person myself... but when I do eat them, I usually choose the Lean Cuisine Asian series. (Thai noodles, sesame chicken, are particular favorites.) To equal your 21oz Stouffer's option, you'd probably have to eat two tho...

Microwaveable dinners

I just finished eating a Stouffer's microwaveable dinner for the first time. It was lasagna with meat & sauce, large size (21 ounces). Not bad.
