Many times in my hustle and bustle schedule I often find myself envious of gluten eaters who can run into the grocery store, pick up a frozen meal, take it with them to work for lunch, and voila...2-5 minutes later they are ready to go! Now given, these meals are not always the healthiest or the cheapest, but at least there is that fast and easy, frozen possibility when needed. I have found some specialty gluten-free prepared items that are indeed delicious, but often cost almost 6 dollars for a small helping and are not even carried in some major grocery chains. But to my relief I have recently, in this, the National Sausage Month, discovered that Jimmy Dean has now released a new sausage and scrambled eggs breakfast entree. I was surprised when I haphazardly read the ingredients expecting to find the common "contains: Wheat", yet found no such warning nor did I see any gluten containing ingredients on the list. The enticing meal comes in a divided tray, with cinnamon flavored baked apples in one compartment, roasted, seasoned potato hash browns in another, and the main part containing scrambled eggs with both sausage and cheese. Not only did I love the flavors in this meal, I loved that I found it on a quick lunch break-run to the store, could cook it in the microwave in 3 minutes, and that I got it for $1.95! Now sure that is not dirt cheap when compared to what I would have saved if I had planned ahead and brought a meal prepared at home, but all things considered, in my need for convenience, this saved me about $5.00 opposed to eating out. Not to mention, these frozen meals are packed with a great deal of protein to increase their nutritional benefits. So if you, like me, enjoy breakfast any time of the day, I highly recommend these frozen entrees. I just hope Jimmy Dean does not go the way of many companies who up and change their ingredients, randomly adding gluten where none is needed.
I have found these meals on sale for $2.50 at numerous grocery stores with a 55 cents off manufacturer coupon attached to the box, making it only $1.95. A fair price to pay for convenience. So give them a try and let me know what you think, afterall don't we owe it to ourselves to celebrate the National Sausage Month....who knew!
