Smart Ones says: Now even better! A chunky garden-style sauce covers five tantalizing layers of fresh pasta and creamy ricotta cheese with a topping of real mozzarella and parmesan cheese. So delicious, so satisfying. . .and another little way you can be good today.

Veda says: The texture is nice, the pasta al dente (when following directions), but the cheese never fully melts until it begins to burn. Unlike some frozen lasagna, it wasn’t too salty and had a decent flavor. Portion size was decent and there’s plenty of spinach, but very few of the other veggies. Pretty good for what it is, but the picture deceives. So, just save the one tiny piece of zucchini for the last bite.

They say: Each 8-packet box of Cinnamon Pecan Quaker Oatmeal Supreme has the rich, delicious flavor of cinnamon and crunchy pecans. Quaker Oatmeal Supreme is simply the ultimate oatmeal taste experience!

Abi says: The ultimate oatmeal taste experience is actually when you get room service at a hotel and they bring you oatmeal and all of the little dishes of brown sugar, craisins, almonds, and cinnamon sugar. Plus, that tiny pitcher of cream. That is the ‘ultimate oatmeal experience.’ Unfortunately, that experience costs $10 plus a tip, whereas this experience is just 35 cents a packet.

Even though this oatmeal has way too much sugar, it is my favorite of the ‘Supremes’. I love the higher-quality oats (not a bunch of oat-dust) and the crunch of the pecan bits is awesome. Yum, pecans. But back to the sugar issue. The first ingredient is oats. The second is ’sugar’. The third is ‘brown sugar’. Better than a doughnut, but not the healthiest way to start your day.

The Baron says: Now you can get that same delicious, premium quality taste on a crispy, crunchy French bread crust that your whole family will enjoy. Great as a snack or as a quick meal on the go.

Abi says: This is really more of a side item than a meal. Every time I see the Baron’s French Bread on sale I get excited and purchase multiple boxes. I remember that cheesy goodness and crisp bread (from the microwave!) and I don’t realize until I get home that I just spent $5 on a couple boxes of cheesy bread with garlic butter. Really, I’m paying for the crisping technology. They should just sell crisping trays in the store.

Is this French Bread marvelous? No. Is is worth the $1.25 to have a hot toasty piece of bread covered with garlic butter and cheese? Oui. Did I burn my mouth on piping hot garlic butter and cheese? Also a oui.

Amy’s Kitchen says: Tender organic pasta shells are stuffed with low fat ricotta, organic broccoli and organic spinach in a genuine Italian tomato sauce and smooth creamy white sauce.

Abi says: Wow. This meal includes 40% of Vitamins A and D and 40% of your RDA of calcium. I must admit that before I heated up the meal I was intrigued by a note on the back that read ‘Try our other bowls. . .’ and noted that there’s a ‘Country Cheddar Bowl’. I want to try one. Ok, so I don’t even know what is contains (I’m guessing potatoes, noodles, corn, or similar) but I can’t help wondering ‘What are the default ingredients of a “Country” item?’

This will be explored later when I track down a Country cheddar Bowl. For now I’ll delve into the world of stuffed pasta shells.

Pasta shells are delicious. The tomato sauce could use a little garlic, onion, and oregano, but the overall effect is suprising for a frozen meal. I feel like someone actually made these for me. Problematic: too much cheese. Yes, too much cheese. Or maybe the problem is too much pasta, because you can never have too much cheese. You see, I like a good pasta-to-cheese ratio. With these shells there’s very little pasta for the enormous amount of cheese. Not that cheese is bad, it’s just that nobody is going to eat ricotta with a spoon. Or a fork. You just don’t eat ricotta by itself.

I wrote spoon because I was one of the last people to eat my lunch today and there were no forks left. Tomorrow I will eat my lunch earlier in the day.

Also, I am intrigued by ‘Mexican Casserole’. Being half-Mexican I am not sure what that could contain. I will have to use my rain check from Giant to purchase a Mexican Casserole Bowl and a Country Cheddar Bowl. They had better be good.
