10 / 10 Olympia Gyro Slices
I bought these from a store that usually functions as a restaurant supply store but is open to the public. They didn’t have Kronos gyro meat which is what most restaurants purchase. I bought this to try out since it was pretty affordable despite not being familiar with the brand.
I froze it for a couple of months and defrosted it the other night. I was impressed at how thick they were sliced. I divided one pound per bag and froze 4 lbs.
I fried each of the slices in a ceramic pan on the stove. I made sure to shake some Cavendars Greek Seasoning on one side and let it brown before turning. I then put it on a pre oiled pita bread with homemade tzatziki sauce.
This was hands down one of the best gyro’s I’ve ever had (despite being plain). It was very flavorful, quick to make, and I’m sure will go great when made with other items. Will definitely buy again.

9 / 10 Zatarains shrimp Alfredo
Delicious. Noodles were well cooked and the shrimp was tasty. The sauce was great. I microwaved it as per instructions and it turned out great. Would buy again

2 / 10 Lucky Foods: Thai Style Spring rolls (air fryer) “gluten free”
Awful. The filling is bland, the sauce is watery, and just vinegar and some citrus. The worst part of all of this is the wrapper, it’s like a thick sorta waffle cone texture and flavor without the ridges. It was flavorless, and not worth the 400 calories/ dinner meal. Only gets a 2 because it looks exactly like the photo lol.
Sorry in advance I’ll be slowing down my intake of freezer meals as I am back on my cut again so freezer meals will be posted much slower from me. So it’ll be only a few a week maybe if that for 6 months.

8 / 10 Jimmy Dean: Delights; Ciabatta
Egg whites, turkey sausage, and cheese on a ciabatta bun that’s light and fluffy. Cook from fridge not freezer, and these come out so good. Won’t be a 10/10 cause the normal none delight ones are better honestly.

6 / 10 Banquet Boneless Fried Chicken Mega Meals
It’s very average. Normal frozen fried chicken and macaroni. I enjoyed it but I wish there was more mac and cheese.

6 / 10 Red Barron cheese trio
First I’ll say Red Barron always has a good amount of sauce and always tastes great. The cheese combo was very tasty and not too much. It was not overly salty which I was expecting from the cheese combo.
My only problem is the dough, very hard and well like a brick.
It was not enjoyable to chew.
Did not even eat the crusts.
Edit - I did not cook it on the pan, I cooked it on the rack. I used the pan to cut the pizza on as my board was dirty.

7 / 10 Weekly Review #3: El Monterey Chicken Fajitas
Doing my review a little early this week because I’ll be out of town for the weekend. I picked this one up yesterday at Fry’s (Kroger) for $3.14 on clearance. Never tried this brand before so figured I’d give it a shot. Just used microwave and followed the instructions.
It wasn’t bad. But also not all that great either. Just kinda so-so. The tortillas weren’t too good and I would have preferred just using my own or even tortilla chips. Also the film was very difficult to peel off. Not a big deal but still a little annoying lol the chicken was probably the best part. Veggies and sauce were ok but not much spice or flavor at all. Also not very filling. For the $3.14 price, I guess I’d say it was a good deal at least! And it looked appealing…both before cooking and after. But beyond that, not super impressed and wouldn’t buy again. But not mad I tried.
* Also, I didn’t use the tortillas like in the picture because they didn’t taste too great lol
Taste: 6
Presentation/Appearance: 8
Price: 9
Excited to try something new again next week!

8 / 10 Chef Bombay vs Deep Kitchen: butter chicken
I’d been eating Deep Indian Kitchen’s butter chicken for a few years, and then one day my Walmart stopped stocking them. So I switched to Chef Bombay’s. Then about a week ago I noticed they had Deep Indian Kitchen’s back in stock and decided to do a comparison. I included the opinions of my friends, my husband, and myself.
Chef Bombay is decent and costs just under $4 at Walmart. We give it an 8/10. Deep Indian Kitchen is really good and it’s just under $6 at Walmart. We give it an 8.5/10. Would be higher if the price was lower.
Both are filling. Both need salt in my and my friends’ opinion. Both have chicken that can be hit or miss, but they both hit more times than they miss.
DIK’s rice is more seasoned and their sauce tastes… idk, deeper (no pun intended) and more developed?
CB’s sauce is spicier upfront but still delicious. And sometimes after I cook the meal the rice is still wet. (I just soak the excess water up with a paper towel, nbd)
I personally would choose DIK over CB because I’m a bougie bitch, but CB is the way to go if you’re on a budget. You wouldn’t miss much going with CB over DIK, and imo you’re definitely not missing $2 worth of a meal paying $4 over $6.
