Michael Angelo’s Naturally Italian Review and Reader Giveaway

I love to cook.  But, when days are hectic and full of unfinished to-do lists, dinner time often sneaks up and I am NOT prepared!  So, I always like to have something on hand that will make a great dinner, but I don't have to think about or work on.  So, when Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods offered me the chance to try some of their fresh and authentic frozen Italian meals I jumped at the chance.

Michael Angelo’s offers a variety of traditional Italian meals including lasagna, chicken piccata, eggplant parmesan and more.  They also have a line of flatbreads with selections such as mediterranean, sausage and mushroom and more.  We love lasagna, so I had to make that our first one to try.  It was super easy to prepare .  All I had to do was throw it in the microwave. 

To be perfectly honest, when I first took it out of the microwave oven after cooking, I wasn't very impressed.  (That's why I didn't take a picture – that is an “official company photo” to the right.)  It looked ok, but I wasn't all that excited to eat it.  So, I was really surprised when I took my first bite and it was delicious!  Several bites in Mario was already asking when we were going to have it again.  I personally love that they are made without preservatives, fillers or chemicals.  They have a homemade taste like Grandma cooked up a big batch and stuck portions in the freezer for us!
