Healthy Choice Steaming Entrees Giveaway

The new Healthy Choice Steaming Entrees are unique in that what you see on the box is exactly what you get inside. Many brands of frozen meals have a nice picture on the box but inside is a different story. Healthy Choice takes all-natural ingredients like chicken, pasta, and bigger pieces of the freshest vegetables. I've eaten almost all of them since I started working with Healthy Choice this past summer on the "Better for BlogHer" campaign, and even when my partnership with them ends, I plan to keep buying Healthy Choice meals now that I know how good they are! Another great thing about the Steaming Entrees is that the entree cooks in one step in the microwave. You know those frozen meals that require you to cut off PART of the plastic wrap, take out something, microwave it for a minute, stir something else, microwave it another minute, put that first thing back in, etc. etc.? It's kind of ridiculous, isn't it? The technology of the packaging of these entrees insures that your … [Read more...]

Healthy Choice is helping me feel better!

It's no secret that I am overweight. Obese, actually, according to my doctor's official height and weight chart. It's been a struggle for me for over 20 years. I have signed up for "weight watching" (you know what I mean) more times than I can count, every time I think "this time it's going to work!", but it never does. And I think the reason why is because I am not good at preparing meals for myself. My biggest problem is lunch. I do okay at breakfast with a bowl of cereal and my coffee, and I cook a full dinner for five people every night (well, unless Chris cooks and on Friday when we have pizza - okay, ALMOST every night), but at lunchtime? I just never have any idea what to do. I get bored eating meat and cheese on bread with some carrots on the side...snore. I want a hot meal, or a meal with a variety of flavors, and I'm just not that creative at it. When Healthy Choice asked me to participate in their "Getting Better for BlogHer" campaign last summer, they sent me a … [Read more...]

Get Steamy at Lunch with Healthy Choice

HC Cafe Steamers

Continuing my series of posts for the Healthy Choice "Better for BlogHer" campaign, I'm talking today about Healthy Choice's new Steaming Entrees line of frozen meals. I got a look at these at BlogHer '10 during a special lunch I was invited to held by Healthy Choice. The idea behind the Steaming Entrees line is that Healthy Choice wanted to make frozen entrees that used no preservatives and contained just natural ingredients. Visually, I think they did a great job with the packaging. Right away you see photos of the vegetables used in each entree, each meal has three different veggies for variety, nutrition, and color. The original Cafe Steamers line has 6 chicken entrees, one shrimp entree, and a vegetarian portabello parmesan risotto entree. Each meal includes a carbohydrate like rice, noodles, or potatoes for a balanced meal. Healthy Choice gave me a lot of coupons so I can keep Steaming entrees and other Healthy Choice products in my freezer, with the goal of … [Read more...]
