"Corner Bistro Flatbreads bring the special restaurant touches you love about dining out into the comfort of your home!" says the box.

 

Yessiree. You will find touches galore inside each box

 

Despite its healthy sounding name, Stouffer's Shrimp & Roasted Garlic Flatbread is loaded with 640 calories and 12 grams of sat fat - just about what you would get in a Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizza.

 

True, Stouffer's sodium (780mg) is half of Pizza Hut's (1530mg). But it is still more than what you would expect from an "herb seasoned flatbread."

 

The Chicken, Bacon & Spinach Flatbread boosts the sat fat to 14 grams, thanks to a "creamy Alfredo sauce, topped with a blend of Italian style cheeses". (A white flour rectangle soaked with cheese is not enough???). The box says it is seasoned with basil and garlic, but the sodium (990mg) says it is seasoned with salt.

 

And the Margherita and Steak Fajita Flatbread each delivers half a day's bad fat and sodium in no time flat.

 

Sooooooooooo if you are in the mood for frozen pizza for one, stuff the Stouffer's and pick up a Lean Cuisine Roasted Vegetable Pizza.  You will get 330 calories and just 1 1/2 grams of bad fat. With a white flour crust and 450 mg of sodium, it is not quite health food, but it sure beats Bistro.
