A Taste of Top Chef at Home
Not only do I have to watch every episode, but I'll rewatch them, knowing who wins and who loses, so that I can dissect the show and see what led to the results.
Fabio Viviani is my all-time favorite Top Chef contestant. He follows me on twitter. Squeeeee!!!
The newest Top Chef is just getting started this season. As I watch, I always think I wish I could be a judge. To get to try all that yummy food!
I'm pretty adventurous and will try anything.
But, I'll admit that my food at home tends not to have the variety in it that I would like. Especially lunch. My oldest two are at school for lunch, the youngest gone for two days of the week, and Hubs always at work. So, I'm either making lunch just for me or for me and a 3 year-old.
I tend to reach for whatever is easy and quick.
Yogurt and fruit some days, soup another, and I'll try different frozen meals.
I tasted the Grilled Vegetables Mediterranean with Rice and Grilled Chicken Marinara with Parmesan. Both were tasty. They do seem to have more flavor than your average frozen meal.
Nothing like what you'd eat if you had one of the Top Chefs cooking for you in your kitchen(Fabio, want to come test that theory?), but if you are looking for a quick meal, try these new Healthy Choice meals. At just $2.75 - $3.50 each, they beat eating out!

This is a sponsored post from The Motherhood and Healthy Choice, though the opinions and Fabio-love are my own.

I despise most frozen dinners but the Healthy Choice ones are yummy! I used to watch Top Chef all the time but then we cut cable back to basic and I don't get it anymore :( I have to try to find it online I think.
those are the only Healthy Choice ones I like...
though I haven't been eating too healthy as of late...sigh
I haven't gotten a frozen lunch in a long time. I need to start getting them again as I need more variety in my work lunch!
I like Healthy Choice meals.
I like Healthy Choice meals. They actually taste like FOOD and not plastic lumps of nothing.
Only problem with Healthy Choice and most of those frozen meals is the sodium content. Some are sky high.
I agree that when dining with my 2 tiniest terrors...it's not always "cuisine"! Healthy choice frozen meals is a great idea! how did I not think of that???
When I go out of town, I love to leave my husband frozen dinners. These sound good!
I am still SO jealous Fabio follows you on twitter. He is definitely a fave with the brothers! There's a new hottie this season, but they haven't given him much attention so I'm worried he goes home early :/
I love frozen meals in the freezer so I always have a lunch.
Hello! I have tagged you to receive this award! If you already have received it, no big deal. Have a great day! http://mommysaidaswearword.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/first-ever-super-duper-cool-blogging-award/
I love Top Chef with all my heart. I think Top Chef and Amazing Race are really my two fave reality shows. I was trying to think who my favorite chefs were and of course I really can't decide. I loved the Voltaggio brothers and Stephanie, and Sam. But I am sure there are a whole bunch of other ones too!
I eat frozen meals for lunch a lot too, but for some reason I can't eat the ones with meat - I don't know the texture throws me off.
I don't watch Top Chef, but I do love me some "Chopped" on Food Network!
Healthy Choice has always produced some quality heat ups. :o)
Lunch is sooo hard for me. Especially now with all of them in school. I have recipes for soups that are really good, but I am the only who will eat them and they make a ton!! haha.
I loathe thinking about lunch. If we don't have leftovers then I basically eat whatever is around, which might mean things like sugared tortillas and yougurt. Yikes!
I have never seen Top Chef. So I'm missing out. I'm a bit of a foodie so I keep thinking I should watch one of those cooking challenge shows.
Glad to hear that chicken parm. is good.
I haven't watched Top Chef, but I love reality cooking shows. And I also appreciate a tasty frozen dinner. :)
I'm a huge Top Chef fan too! Doing the same as you, watching episodes over and over. Richard Blais is my favorite and though I haven't met him in real life yet I have had the opportunity to sit next to and talk to Fabio! He follows me on Twitter too - so does Richard!
This season though I can't get into it. I don't know if it's the Texas "theme" or what? I just like good, nitty gritty competition without all the stupid fluff. This is why I liked All Stars the best of all the seasons.
Girl, next time you're in California we'll have to meet up at Fabio's restaurant!
