Qrunch Foods Quinoa Burgers : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Plain and Spicy Italian Quinoa Burgers

We here at Dr. Gourmet resisted reviewing veggie burgers for a long time. That was not just because of their formerly well-deserved reputation for tasting awful, but also because their ingredient lists ran too far into the over-processed food territory.

Amy's Kitchen : Bean & Cheese Burritos : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Bean & Cheese Burritos,
Regular vs. Light in Sodium Versions

This review could have been short. Really short.

Because the Light in Sodium Bean & Cheese Burrito had the right instructions on it, and the Regular one did not. Reason enough to avoid purchasing the Regular version.

St. Dalfour's Gourmet on the Go: Wild Alaskan Salmon and Three Beans with Sweetcorn : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Wild Alaskan Salmon with Vegetables and Three Beans and Sweetcorn

I have seen St. Dalfour’s Gourmet on the Go meals on the shelf for some time at Whole Foods Market. The first time I saw them I thought it strange, because St. Dalfour is a company that primarily produces [...]

Tuv Taam Foods : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Macaroni & Cheese and
Lasagna with Tomato Sauce

My wife discovered today’s review items in our local Winn-Dixie. They’ve got a fair-sized gluten-free and organic section in addition to the more usual international foods, but we’d never really looked carefully at their kosher frozen food offerings. Several items we’d [...]

Naturally 4U Pepperoni Pizza and Roasted Vegetable Pizza

I have said before that one of the things I miss most about having to eat gluten free is pizza. Not being able to go out for pizza occasionally is a drag, but you get used to it. I’ve never been one much for frozen [...]

California Pizza Kitchen : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Four Cheese and Margherita Pizzas

We’ve been seeing frozen pizzas from California Pizza Kitchen in our local grocery stores for a while, but we haven’t reviewed them because they’re all labeled 3 servings. While one or two of those pizzas meet our sodium standards, the truth [...]

Bell and Evans Frozen Chicken Products : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

People eat a lot of chicken nuggets and chicken strips. Not being someone who eats at fast food restaurants, I will admit that it has been at least 30 years since I ate a Chicken McNugget, and that experience was bad enough to make me [...]

Two Chicken Meals from Lean Cuisine : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Baked Chicken and Roasted Garlic Chicken

After tasting the more exotic meals fromSaffron Road last week, this week we find ourselves firmly back on familiar turf with two chicken meals from Lean Cuisine’s Culinary [...]

Artisan Bistro Fish Meals : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Wild Alaskan Salmon Bake and
Wild Albacore Tuna Bake

We don’t get many opportunities to review convenience foods in the seafood category. There is good reason for this, as it is difficult to cook delicate fish in the microwave and expect it to be any good at [...]

Healthy Choice Baked Entrees : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

Roasted Chicken and Potatoes and
Italian Sausage Pasta Bake

Several months ago we discovered Healthy Choice’s new product line of “Baked Entrees.” They were so new, in fact, that they weren’t even represented on the Healthy Choice website. You may recall that these are microwaveable meals that [...]
