Trader Giotto's Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli from Trader Joe's

A package of this ricotta and spinach ravioli from Trader Joe's was kept in the freezer (since the package says to keep it frozen), and when I opened the package I noticed there was a lot of ice inside.

When I cooked it, I followed the microwave instructions and heated it up for a total of 7 minutes.

The tomato sauce just tasted like an average tomato and garlic sauce, but it was a little bit watery (probably due to that ice). The inside of the ravioli had a neutral taste (not a strong cheese or spinach taste), which was OK with me.

Although it was a little bit watery, it was still good enough that I was able to eat the whole thing.

BBQ Steak with Red Potatoes

I cooked this frozen meal following the microwave instructions.

The beef was nice and tender, but it was a little grisly. There weren't a lot of pieces of beef, either (maybe 6 pieces). The corn tasted fine, but the potatoes were mushy and tasted overcooked.

The BBQ sauce tasted more just like a sweet sauce rather than a BBQ sauce. There wasn't a lot of the sauce, but that could be a good thing because it might have been too sweet with more of the sauce.

After I ate this meal, I still had to go find something else to eat because it wasn't very satisfying.

I followed the microwave instructions on the back for cooking this frozen pasta.

It turned out watery, and the pasta was pretty mushy. It was a tiny bit spicy and had an overall weird, tangy taste (probably from the Chablis wine, lemon juice, and garlic powder).

It started out tasting OK, but I couldn't finish the whole thing because the tangy-ness became too overwhelming after having more bites.
