It's a given: Life is going to hand you a certain number of days so crazed that high-speed takeout seems like the only dinner option.  Some of us live in small towns and takeout isn't even an option - so unless you have frozen some of your own healthy cooking in the freezer here are some other options.

Just check this list, tested by a bunch of tough-to-please tasters.

PIZZA: Lean Cuisine Brick Oven Style Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza
Here's a great way to soothe pizza cravings without worrying about the two-slice cutoff! The flatbread crust is topped with creamy garlic sauce, chicken, and cheese. And it crisps up perfectly in the microwave.

PANINI: Lean Cuisine Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom Panini
Okay, it's not quite the same as the corner bistro's, but a little perspective here: Eating just half of Panera Bread's Frontega Chicken Panini would cost you 400 calories, 16 grams of fat, and 1080 milligrams of sodium! This is faster, cheaper, much healthier, and surprisingly satisfying.

THAI NOODLES: Seeds of Change Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles
You don't have to be a nutritionist to figure out that large servings of noodles drenched in peanut sauce are hazardous to your waist. Not these. The linguini is made with healthy semolina wheat flour, and there's plenty of zippy ginger-peanut sauce flavoring the noodles, veggies, and tofu (done just right -- nice and firm).  This one is a stretch I know and probably not around, but what the heck.  I know I won't be pushing Gentry to eat tofu!

RAVIOLI: Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli
This indulgent-tasting dish features pillowy squash ravioli with a creamy pumpkin-like filling, surrounded by yellow and orange carrots, snap peas, and chopped walnuts, all covered with a light cream sauce. Bonus: It gives you almost all the vitamin A you need for the whole day.

MAC 'N' CHEESE: Smart Ones Three Cheese Macaroni
Every now and then, you need a taste of your favorite childhood dish. If mac and cheese is yours, this one will soothe your inner 5-year-old's needs for just 300 warm, creamy calories.

Supermarket Shoppers' Healthiest Brands

If we all spent as much time reading nutrition labels as experts tell us to, supermarkets would have to start installing more cushy chairs and coffee bars than Barnes & Noble. Again a lot of these brands aren't available up here.  I left some of them on just in case.  Most of know - we've read our labels and can go straight to the healthy stuff without having to read a whole bunch of labels again.  I have added a few of my favorites to these lists as well.

Bread
Pepperidge Farm sliced bread
    100% Whole Wheat Very Thin Sliced
    Carb Style, Soft 100% Whole Wheat   
    100% Natural Nine Grain
Country Hearth Stone Ground 100% Whole Wheat sliced bread
Thomas' English Muffins Hearty Grain 100% Whole Wheat
Roman Meal Multi-Grain Hamburger Buns
Note the common thread here is that they are 100% whole wheat!!

Cereal
Wheaties
Total Whole Grain
Kashi GoLean
Old Fashioned Quaker Oats - better yet if you get steel cut oats, they have less processing and more of the goodness.  They take longer to cook.
Wheatena
The biggest thing to look for in cereal is the sugar.  It shouldn't be one of the first 3 ingredients listed.  You can add sugar by putting half a banana and some frozen berries on instead.  And frozen fruit is probably healthier than the fresh because it was picked and frozen at it's peak.  Most fruits are picked under ripe and shipped to us.  So not all of the nutrients are retained.  One of my favorites is Fibre 1 - watch the fibre cereals for all of the sugar added.  Fibre 1 does better with less sugar and we know we all need mega fibre.  Watch for cereals listing nuts (granolas especially). They tend to have a lot of fat.  It's probably better to add your own nuts.

Crackers
Wheat Thins, Multi-Grain
Triscuit Thin Crisps
There are a few other local brands that are good - Dare Grains First (2 varieties) and Ryvita crispbreads.  They've come out with some new flavors.  Definitely worth a try. 

Yogurt
Dannon Light & Fit (regular, Carb Control, and Creamy)
Stonyfield Farm MOOve Over Sugar
Yoplait Light
I'm very hesitant about "light" yogurt because it is usually flavored with artificial sweeteners so I usually buy 2 kinds - a plain 0 fat yogurt for my smoothies (you can't taste it anyway and it's great to cook with) and Astro Naturally Flavored Vanilla yogurt (mostly for Gentry) and I use it half and half with the plain for my fruit salad.

Smoothies
Stonyfield Farm Light Smoothie
Yoplait Smoothie Light
Dannon Light & Fit Smoothie
I make my own so I wouldn't have a clue about these - but again artificial sweeteners could be in here.  And there is evidence that says using the artificial sweeteners your body knows they didn't get any sugar and it craves more.  So maybe it's just better to have some sugar from the fruits etc.

Protein Bars
PowerBar Pria Complete Nutrition bar
Luna bars
Kashi GoLean Crunchy! bar and Roll! bar
I really do like protein bars - they are a great man I'm starving I have to eat right now saver.  I keep one in my lunch for those days when I don't have enough, I carry them when I travel.  They are just good to have on hand.  I am having a hard time finding the Pria bars - I think Wal Mart has the best selection I've seen.

Just a few more of my favorite quotes:
The only person who never makes mistakes is the person who never does anything.  Denis Waitley

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.  Corrie Ten Boom
