- Pasta Classics Entrée Bundle, 6 Ready-to-Eat Pasta Meals

These dinners are easy to prepare in about 1-1 1/2 minutes in the microwave. They are good portion control and I found the Turkey Bean Chili to be the best meal in the set! That I'm going to order again by itself because it tastes much better than a canned chili. These are easy to keep on hand in your pantry or cupboards and make meals available and on hand all the time without any need to take up refrigerator or freezer space! Most of these meals are better if you have a veggie side dish! But with the Turkey Bean Chili all I need is some tortilla chips and some sour cream! Yum! ~The Rebecca Review

This is a multi-repeat order for me of the HMR variety pack. Here's my take: If you're expecting MIchelin flavor in pre-packaged diet food, you're going to be disappointed; however, if you're looking for a reasonable taste at a reasonable price, then you'll be happy. This is my go-to product when I feel the need to get my diet back on track. Yes, there are a couple of meals that are "clunkers" (to me, YMMV) but the majority are surprisingly tasty and can be eaten on their own or have veggies added for extra benefits. I do this for the convenience factors: easy to microwave, boost to my protein intake, and overall convenience of not having to spend hours over the stove when I'm already a bad cook. I also like that I can tailor my diet the way that works for me and I don't have to eat sweet protein bars for breakfast (a particular hate of mine) or drink protein shakes if I don't want to, unlike the more known Diet Systems (I'm talking to you NS and Jenny). If you're still unsure, try one or two. Either you'll find the convenience worth it or you'll move on. I highly recommend HMR.

I like that this is a large enough portion to take care of me during lunch. It's not big enough to be a meal by itself, to be sure, perhaps 9-10 ounces, but I only need a snack for lunch, not a whole pizza. Also like that I can store a dozen or so in a drawer; it does NOT need to be refrigerated. Taste is fine and only takes about a minute in the microwave oven.

Three of the 5 meals were very old. The chicken was stringy and the sauce tasted awful. Chicken pasta parmesan especially. The other 2 were fresh and tasted good. The value for the money is not that good. Each meal was about 3/4 of a cup. They tell you to add a veggie or other side which defeats the purpose. I bought so that I would not have to cook. If it's a meal I should only need to add heat and a fork. I will continue to search for a reasonable alternative. These were not consistent with taste and age. All meals should be fresh. That is a quality issue that needs addressing.

I am sorry I do not usually post my feelings. I would say 95! of what I order is great. Yes there are a few I am not totally great with. This review I have to write about. What is the reason to put in a meat substitute in this meal. First of all putting in an ingredient that looks like meat and is tough and awful is terrifying to me. Also, do you think vegetarians have to have something in their meals that looks like meat. This a poor excuse for you to think vegetarians have to have something disgusting and rubbery so they can eat this to make them feel like they are having meat. This is a #1 worst excuse for a vegetarian dinner. I have been a vegetarian for at !east 20 years and, honestly, I have never never wanted something that looks like beef in any of my dinners that tasted like. Here is the best part the looks like meat thing even had what looked liked hard fat piece. I love Amazon for many items I buy but I have to admit at 74 y.o. this is disgusting. h

I've been shopping around for pre-made meals for some time now. I live alone and have no appetite for spending too much time on meal preparation and clean-up. I, also, need to loose weight and my self-control is wanting when it comes to food. Although there are some excellent meal services out there, none of them fit my needs: too much cooking required, ackward preparation methods, too many calories, not enough variety, and so on. Some of them were very good for weight maintenance but not for shedding weight. Others were too bulky for my limited capacity freezer. Tnem I chanced upon HMR prepackaged meals. Wow! Tasty, great variety, little preparation time (one minute in the microwave, thank you), and no clean up! If you need additional bulk, you can augment them with low-carb sides: grilled zucchini or bell peppers, steamed broccoli flowerlets, cauliflower mash (four minutes in microwave, just like spuds). I've been ordering regularly since that first order. I've already lost 10 lbs and I hope these meals help to keep the pounds off. And wouldn't that be nice!

Most dinners were very good.
