I remember getting my kids hungry Man or Kids Cuisine. More as nostalgia for me. It was fun. They liked the little dressier.

A tv dinner has to have a main — preferably sirloin steak— at least one veg and dessert all heated and served in one tray with compartments.


Thank you! Yes, a frozen entree is NOT a tv dinner.

I've also done the lasagna rolls from the chef with the spiky bleached blond hair. Gordon Ramsey?? Not bad. Served with a frozen pizza and salad. Kids love it.

It's also more relaxing than getting home and everyone trying to get a cooked meal on the table every single night.


I disrespect you because you are cowering about something that is perfectly fine.

I’m confused. How ignorant are you about West Virginia? Would you say “very” or “shockingly”?


That, and a snob.

We do some Trader Joe's ones.

And some of the Lean Cusine protein ones, but they are so small hardly worth it. LOL

My teens like the Indian meals and Mexican bowls from Trader Joe’s.

DH likes the French bread pizzas

Sure - not every night, but on occasion

It’s cheaper and more convenient than McDonalds. At worst, it’s at least as nutritious as McDonald’s, but many of them aren’t that bad.

I usually let them pick out some and then buy some that I think are relatively popular with our family. If they pick one with vegetables, I count it as a win. We still do McDonald’s now and then, but it’s pretty rare.

I wouldn't feed anyone tv dinners.

But I have a grudge against them, I grew up eating them while my mother was out at the bar every night.

No, the packaging seems like overkill for three kids.

They’re not high quality but I will always have a sneaking love for some of those Lean Cuisines.

Have you served your kids TV dinners? If not, why not? What is your favorite?
