I am in the process of finalizing everything including the URL, but you can now find me at http://www.eatsimplylivehealthy.wordpress.com!

The Best Healthy & Frozen Meals

Frozen meals get a bad rep for being full of preservatives and deemed unhealthy due to soggy meatloaf and brands like Hungry Man; however, when chosen properly, they can be a huge time-saver and healthy meal option. Since starting my summer internship, I've lived off of frozen meals. I'll make my lunch once in a while if I have time but convenience eventually takes over and I get down right lazy.
