Like PennyForthem , I posted a reply and it too disappeared into thin air / cyberspace !?!?!?! (summarised version now coming up . . . )
I love cooking , and keep a supply of homemade 5:2 ratatouille and tomato sauce in the freezer to add to chicken or salmon fillets for Fast Days. I rarely buy convenience foods. However , browsing in M&S's food department today , I came across their " Count on Us " ready meals, and decided on impulse to try their Vegetarian Moussaka. ( I'm not veggie, incidentally - I think the 260 calories swayed my decision!! ) Had it tonight , with lots of extra steamed veg as usual ( broccoli, cauliflower , carrot etc.). I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was , and quite filling , so might try others on the range , for a bit of variety. OH enjoyed it too. . . . .
So I concede that, although I prefer cooking from scratch , there's a place for the occasional low-cal ready meal in my kitchen. . . . . . . .
