Tried another frozen dinner by Atkins today. Beef Merlot was the dinner of the day. Decent flavor. The gravy they include with it has a nice taste and almost reminds me of something my mom used to make. Its pretty good. The issue I have with this one is the same I have had with a few of the other meals. The portion size is a little small. I think that the broccoli must shrink or something cause by the time it's cooked it seems pretty small. I think if I had a little time I would probably cook up a little extra broccoli for it so it filled me up. There was certainly enough sauce to use for some added veggies.
My wife said I should suggest that if you aren't on Atkins and maybe you have these around because someone in your house is, that you cook up some rice to eat with it. It tastes good and fills in the void a little.
So far I haven't had any issues in taste with these meals. Lots of flavor and super easy to make. Great if you are in a hurry and are trying to keep your carb numbers down. I mean 6G carbs. Pretty awesome!

Whomever cooked the Beef Merlot in the picture above, overcooked it! I LOVE this meal! The beef melts in your mouth, my broccoli was bright green,crisp yet juicy and the Merlot is quite evident in the flavor of the gravy. It fills me up cause I take the time to eat slowly and savor the flavor. It is so delicious that I want more but that defeats the purpose. I guess I should try another selections but, I will always buy my Beef Merlot too!!!
