Lean Cuisine says: White meat chicken, tomato, bacon, cheddar and mozzarella cheese with a ranch sauce in a soft flatbread.

Josh says: In my quest for free meals and after my positive experience with the Lean Cuisine Chicken Philly Flatbread Melt, I decided to try the chicken ranch club. Much like the chicken Philly, the ranch club’s chicken didn’t have much taste. With the exception of one or two bites that had an unusual concentration of tomatoes or “bacon bits,” the meal amounted to little more than spreading a layer of ranch dressing on soft warm (somewhat rubbery) bread. For some reason the meal reminded me of that famous Anne Richards line about George Bush, Sr: “He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.” I bet it tasted better than the Lean Cuisine Chicken Ranch Club Flatbread Melt.

[This meal was free from the folks at Lean Cuisine. Nicole also reviewed the Lean Cuisine Chicken Ranch Club Flatbread Melt. Her review has a lovely photo and no references to Texas. -Ed.]

Lean Cuisine says:Grilled white meat chicken, onions, peppers, pepperocini, cheese and a cheddar cheese sauce in a soft flatbread.

Josh says: I just ate the Chicken Philly Flatbread Melt from Lean Cuisine. The picture makes it look like a pizza, but trust me, you can fold it over like a pita sandwich. I was actually impressed. The cheese tasted like cheese (unlike the Lean Cuisine Mac ‘n Cheese which is utter crap). The bread tastes like and has the texture of bread. And the chicken tastes like…well, like nothing, but two out of three ain’t bad. There’s a nice mild-medium spicy kick that I didn’t expect. All-in-all it was a pretty nice meal and I’d do it again. They only superior food I’ve had this week? Cheez-Its.

Michelina’s Stuffed Cheese Rigatoni

February 28, 2007 | Reviewer: Josh

Michelina's Stuffed Cheese Rigatoni

Serving: 1 box, 2.25 oz
Calories: 260
Fat: 11%, 7g
Sodium: 29%, 700mg
Protein: 10g

Michelina says: This authentic dish will delight the cheese lover in you with every bite. Tender rigatoni stuffed with cheese is tossed in a zippy Pomodoro sauce seasoned with crushed red pepper. Then Michelina melts a little extra cheese on top, just to make you smile. Say Pomodoro!

Josh says: This is review is short and to the point. The meal comes in a cardboard box/tray combo which can easily burn your fingers. As for the food inside, there were just seven noodles (box makes it look like there’ll be like 20 or so, but apparently that is a serving suggestion), one little slice of zuchinni, and some watery sauce. Michelina’s Stuffed Cheese Rigatoni tastes cheap, but then again, it is cheap (just $1 at Safeway). I give it 2 stars, because it’s only a dollar and doesn’t actually taste awful…but you’re also risking a hand injury.

Michelina’s Zap ‘ems Macaroni and Beef

Michelina's Zap 'ems Macaroni and Beef

Price: $1.00
Serving: 1 package, 8 oz.
Calories: 320
Fat: 15%, 10g
Sodium: 28%, 680mg
Protein: 11g
Carbs: 13%, 38g
Fiber: 12%, 3g

Michelina’s says: Get all the fun of baked macaroni and all the hearty flavor of beef rolled into one amazing meal. Then cover it in tomato sauce, add green peppers, jalepenos, and all your favorite chili spices and â€” viola! Youâ€™ve got a healthy lunch or dinner thatâ€™ll get you going â€” and keep you coming back for more.

Josh says: Don’t buy this product unless you are feeding 30 absolutely starving young children and you only have $30. (I’d even consider getting those overcooked Taquito-things from 7-11 first). In every other situation, avoid this bland, wretched macaroni beef combo.
