Lean Cuisine Four Cheese Cannelloni

Maybe I was just very hungry, but man, as this dish was cooking, it smelled AMAZING!!
At 6g of fat and 240 calories, it certainly doesn't hurt the waistline.
First and foremost, once again, the product does not come anywhere near the packaging.  In fact, this one is probably the least palatable looking one I've come across.  The product does not match the box at all.  However, taste-wise, this one is a hit!  The pasta was al dente, the tomato sauce was chunky and delish, the cheese was creamy and filling.  It might not have been a pleasure to look at, but it was certainly a pleasure to eat!

Taste: 4.5
Appearance: 2.0
Good-for-you-factor: 4.5
Fullness-factor: 4.0
Overall: 4.0

Once you get past the look of it, you're in for a treat!  I would certainly pick up this one again.....

That is...if I hadn't devised a new plan!

Pretty much every day at work (5 days a week), I bring my lunch.  Usually a TV dinner, because Spark People comes up with these ridiculous meal plans that I don't have time to make in the morning when I head out for work!
So.  I have acquired a list of every variety of Lean Cuisine meal in production.  Each weekly grocery run, the list will accompany me, and I will slowly but surely work my way through all (roughly 150) of their varieties.  I figure, this will expand my tastes a little bit, and I will have a fair and balanced scale on which I can judge them all.
The long-range plan, once this is complete, is to then work through Weight Watchers' Smart Ones.  I had considered doing Healthy Choice dinners as well, but the few of those I've had in my quest to lose weight previously were absolutely disgusting, and I don't want to subject my taste buds to that sort of torture again.

Tonight, the hubby and I have decided to order pizza, since it's a WoW raid night for us (yes, we're video game nerds!), and this weekend, we're headed to a wedding out of town, so I probably won't get a chance to update again until Monday.  But don't fear! I won't forget!  And I will have a full weeks' worth of reviews planned out!
