| Pretty much anything by Amy’s, especially the enchiladas. Thai Shrimp fried rice from Trader Joe’s. |
| Go to: Saffron Road Tikki Masala. High in salt but delicious for the occasional situation you describe. |
|
A tub of Ben & Jerry's.
Always the best entree. |
Their Lamb Saag is surprisingly delicious and if you eat little of the rice, kind of diet healthy. (I don't want to eat total salt bombs, but sodium is not a main concern for me, so haven't checked that). |

Trader Joe’s frozen macaroni and cheese is literally the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. Not joking, I’ve had $25 high end restaurant mac and cheese, and theirs beats it.
Any of the prepared means from Fresh Direct are excellent. Technically they’re not frozen, but I buy them fresh and keep them in the freezer. I have sampled alllll the pre-made lasagnas and Fresh Direct’s is BY FAR the best. Amy’s cheese enchiladas LOOK like a disgusting mess but taste close to restaurant quality. Rao’s frozen entrees are overpriced for the level of quality. Some of the Birdseye pasta dishes are surprisingly edible. Blake’s Shepard’s pie is outstanding, but I didn’t like the cornbread crust chicken pot pie. |
The Saffron Road chicken biryani is great. Your kitchen will smell like curry for the rest of the day, so you know it’s good, haha. Their pad Thai is a joke. |

Spanakopita, samosas, mini-quiches from WF or TJ’s.
Stuffed pastas from Vace and their tomato sauce (which comes frozen). I prefer Uptown Market’s bolognese to meat sauce @ Vace. Also like the previously-mentioned TJ chicken tikka masala and I try to keep a TJ tri-tip in the freezer (have to defrost before roasting and still need a side, so maybe this isn’t what you’re looking for.) |
| I’m Indian. I agree TJ chicken tikka masala is good. I don’t think Saffron Road Indian products taste authentic, but of course individuals may like them. Better is the Deep brand, which is what we buy at the Indian store but is also at WF. |
| Saffron Road is terrible, unless you like wasting money. |
Which TJ Mac and cheese? |
This is actually good, especially with yogurt or TJ’s garlic sauce. |
NP here. We love the TJ Diner Mac & Cheese. It's terrific. We also love TJ frozen gyoza. |
Yes!! It is. So if their frozen falafel. And we are Lebanese. |
I always forget about this store. Thank you for bringing it up. I want to try it! |
| Costco has these frozen ramen bowls that are good in a pinch. They are kinda small so I also make frozen gyoza/dumplings. |
