Cederlane is a frozen foods company, a bit like Amy’s, healthy and organic and low-fat, sometimes gluten free as well. I am OBSESSED with their veggie and cous cous wraps-two minutes in the microwave. Honestly,...

I like Amy’s Southwestern burrito and Indian tofu wrap. Haven’t tried their entrees or bowls. We also like TJ’s potato pierogis and multigrain pilaf (not frozen). DH swears by the TJ vegetable lasagna.

Ok, I’m all for a new kitchen, but being seriously displaced this long has really been tough. I haven’t eaten good food at home for more than a week and there’s not a quick end in sight. Here’s the deal....

In SLO on Nipomo Street is a little place called the burrito wagon. There you’ll find very tastey, fast mexican menu items. The "wet burrito" is the best! It’s any burrito off the menu you prefer , smothered in a...

I really miss corn in the winter, especially for my bean and corn burritos. I usually cut the kernels off a cob and pitch them in. Sure, I can cut off nice summer kernels and freeze myself, but I always forget and then it’s...

My husband and I will be in the West Covina/Covina area for two weeks in late June visiting my elderly mother and staying in the Radisson WC (Formerly the Embassy Suites). The latter has fridges and microwave ovens that allow...

I’m one of those people that will always prepare breakfast on Sunday for the week, been doing this for years and its an old habit. The favorite is a breakfast burrito, freezable, microwaveable, filling can be anything you...

If they like pasta, cook it until just al dente, then freeze. It defrosts on its own rather nicely, or you can reheat in the microwave, or put in a pan with a tbs of water and other additions. It’s pretty forgiving. I do...

the Green Cactus playbook—the salsa bar with the pico de gallo, salsa verde, and red salsa—even the selection of tables is familiar. Decor is otherwise the same as the previous Grind. OK, food’s here—a...

Another place to go is BackFin, 1116 Reisterstown Road (just North of the Pikes on the opposite side of the street.) Known for seafood, excellent soups, also great burgers, clubs and salads. As a side, avoid the baked potato (...

Really? We’ve been there and HATED the food. The buckets of beer are fine, but they can’t oversalt those. Casa D’s on Bellevue Way has enormous (and delicious) burritos for take out. Porcella’s is across the...

building blocks I am able to do stir-fry, curries, soups, stews, tacos, roll-ups or burritos, etc. relatively quickly. Pasta dishes are easy and tasty. The main thing is the freezer and the microwave come in very handy. Keep a...

known better since it was in a new strip mall next to Starbucks. Still, I kept an open mind. I like some local chains and thought we’d give them a spin. Unfortunately it wasn’t memorable in any sense of the word. My bean and beef...

burritos and tacos but prefer to stick with the house specialties of grilled steak dishes . They also have tons of seafood for the non-meat eaters . I was there recently on a Sat afternoon for take out and all 5 tables were...

in the microwave and still wasnt even served hot. Chips – cold and stale. My burrito - topped once again in velveeta, was served cold with a side of cold refriend beans to accompany. We all left hungry due to not eating...
