#MeatlessMonday: 3 New Heat and Eat Options

If you're like me, some days you have every intention of doing something good for yourself when dinner time rolls around, but after a killer day at work, doing anything but vegging on the couch sounds less than ideal. For those very days, I like to keep some healthier heat-and-eat options on hand, and since Mondays are often the busiest of all, I always make sure I have something on hand for a quick fix. If you're having a manic #MeatlessMonday or are just looking to see the latest frozen goods on the market, good news: I've got 'em for you.

MorningStar Farms Mediterranean Chickpea Veggie Burger: You have probably had your share of soybean burgers and black bean burgers, but have you ever had a heat-and-eat chickpea burger? This brand-new meatless option for MorningStar Famrs is jam-packed with hearty chickpeas and bold flavors from garlic, red onion and spinach, offering an authentic Mediterranean flavor. They're great on a bun but just as good breadless, served with a side of this amazing couscous salad. They're lean, too, with 70 percent less fat than regular ground beef burgers. Holy cow.

Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n: Craving Chinese takeout? Try this meatless option instead. It's hard to believe that these crispy flavorful nuggets are meat-free because they're delicious, not to mention they have the perfect texture for serving stir-fry-style over brown rice with veggies. Heat them up while your rice is cooking and dinner is on the table in 8 minutes flat.

Dr. Praeger's Buffalo Chickenless Nuggets: When you first bite into these crispy morsels you'll probably think that they are deep-fried, but it's actually broiling that creates the texture. Serve with a side of Blue Cheese Dressing and some carrot and celery sticks when your friends come over to watch the game, and they'll never know March Madness just went meatless.
