Moosewood Organic Frozen Entrees: If the rest are anything like these two, don’t bother
Hmm…I tried both the Moosewood Moroccan Stew and the Macaroni and Three Cheeses. The macaroni wasn’t bad per se; it suffered the same fate as most frozen macaroni and cheese in general blandness. For whatever reason, frozen food purveyors can’t seem to mix together cooked macaroni with any sort of cheese sauce and get any results that have flavor. The Moosewood recipe contains cheddar, neufchatel, and parmesan. It was creamy, but the only thing that made me think there might be cheese involved was the orange color. On the whole, it was not great, but not terrible.
The Moroccan Stew? First, I think it falls more into the soup category. I tried it twice, prepared in two separate microwaves and both times it was a liquidy mess. There was no fork involved in its consumption. In fact, such an endeavor would likely be impossible. The other failing on this particular dish was that it lacked any real ingredients beyond the broth-like liquid, a lot of couscous (which merely takes up space) three raisins, two small squares of sweet potato (comprising less than one cubic inch in total) and a few possible chunks of tomato. Wait…there is a piece of cabbage measuring one by two inches. There were no recognizable chickpeas or peppers to be found either time. It tastes okay, but it might be time to reformulate this one to include more solids in the recipe.
Now I know what it’s like for baby birds to eat stuff their mother has regurgitated.
