TOD:
We never had frozen dinners when I was a youngen--my mom hated them. The only thing I can remember having were those pizza tarts that you put in the toaster. I'm not sure if they were made by Ellio's or not.
I think it was during my college days that I discovered Le Menu frozen dinners. They were tasty, and they came with a reusable hard plastic microwave dish (I still have a stack of them somewhere.)
Nowadays, I'll do an occasional DeGornio pizza or a Stoffers or Lean Cuisine meal. I particularly like Stoffers' pricier Bistro meals, which are pretty delish and more filling. I've had a few Swanson Hungry Man dinners, which were hit or miss.
