Amy’s

Amy’s Broccoli & Cheddar Bake

What kid doesn’t like macaroni and cheese? Let’s be honest, what adult doesn’t like macaroni and cheese? Amy’s version, known for having a healthier, heartier take on most frozen meals, incorporates whole-wheat pasta, organic cheese and broccoli. Plus, don’t worry if the kids don’t like the green stuff — it’s so cheesy and delicious no one will mind. You can pick up this dish, as well as any number of Amy’s entrees almost anywhere in the city, including “everything stores” like Target and Wal-Mart.

Amy’s Black Bean and Vegetable Enchiladas

Again, it’s hard to go wrong with Amy’s entrées: whole foods, organic ingredients and tons of flavor. These vegetarian enchiladas are packed with protein from black beans, a little lower in sodium than comparable dishes and the kids won’t notice all of the veggies hidden in the cheesy and saucy goodness. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, top each enchilada with a dollop of sour cream.
