Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
First, let me apologize to every foodie who reads this blog. I deeply regret making this admission: I do sometimes consume microwavable food.The new obsession is making me do it.
Black bean and jack cheese burritos from Trader Joe's.
I buy three. Over the course of a week, I eat three. I hide them from my kids. They're perfect for lunch. I work from home, blogging, blogging, blogging, and often waiting until my blood sugar is so low I can barely make it down the stairs into the kitchen. With great effort, I reach into the fridge, pull out a burrito, rip open the wrapper and slap it in the microwave. Two minutes later, I'm shoveling cheesy, beany-goodness into my pate.
I normally turn my nose up at such processed food, but (and I speak here as a native Los Angeleno and lifelong burrito lover), these taste pretty darn good. The cheese melts, the beans taste fresh, the tortilla is firm yet moist....it's the next best thing to running out and buying a fresh burrito. And God knows I'm not taking the time to do that.
Give it a try. Keep a couple of these babies in your fridge for when you need a quick bite. You'll be grateful. And let me know what you think.

Put anything you want on it: scrambled eggs for breakfast, shredded cheddar for a late night snack, tomato sauce & mozzarella, grilled onions & fontina, roasted garlic & tomato confit.
I put it on a grill pan until whatever's on top is warm and melty. Makes the bottom of the naan slightly crispy but the interior stays soft and tender. Yum!

Thanks for the tip on a product that someone took the time on and figured out how to reheat from frozen. It's not as easy as it looks. :)

Perhaps you set your goals a bit too high.
