We learn almost everything from our moms, from how to apply lipstick to how to roast a Thanksgiving turkey.

Michael Angelo Renna, founder and CEO of Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods, learned everything he knows about cooking from his mom Sara, who in turn learned it from her Grandmother Foti. These Italian moms believed that the key to a great meal was the quality of ingredients that went into it. Today, this time-honored Italian tradition has been passed down through the generations and is the cherished philosophy behind Michael Angelo’s delicious frozen Italian meals.

We love them all. Calzones, lasagna, shrimp scampi…

What is the one Italian meal you could eat for every meal?

Do you serve our Chicken Picatta over pasta, or create your own garlic bread to enjoy alongside our Meat Lasagna? These are just some of the ways we’ve heard our fans enjoying our authentic Italian meals, and we love to hear all of the new and creative ideas! So how do you turn our meals into your own “homemade” creation?

In honor of this month being National Frozen Food Month (our favorite month, of course), we want to know your favorite thing about Michael Angelo’s Authentic Italian Frozen meals. Is it the convenience of knowing that a delicious, Italian dinner will be ready in as little as 10 minutes? Or perhaps knowing that you’re feeding your family a meal that is made from the finest, high quality ingredients?

What is the one thing that makes you choose our meals when you go grocery shopping?

When you’re in a time crunch for dinner, and are not quite sure exactly what you’re going to whip up, what do you run to first?

It's American Heart Month, Michael Angelo’s lovers! Did you know that the spinach found in our vegetable lasagna and the olive oil we use in most of our meals are both extremely healthy foods for your heart?
That’s right – spinach will help you keep that heart in shape with loads of lutein, folate, potassium and fiber.

In fact, any of the veggies you love (like the ones in our vegetable pocket calzone) can help lower your risk of heart disease.

Olive oil, too! Full of monounsaturated fats, olive oil lowers bad cholesterol and reduces your risk of developing heart disease.

Buon San Valentino! Italian food really is one of the most romantic cuisines, so why not create the perfect Italian Valentine’s Day dinner for your date?

Pick up a family size portion of the Chicken Parmesan at your local store, some baby spinach, parmesan, and croutons to mix it up with a bit of Caesar salad dressing. To top it off, make sure you have a bottle of Prosecco on deck. Then, grab a nice blanket to lay on and enjoy your meal under the stars.

Some like taking our meals to work for a delicious and nutritious lunch, while others bake up the family sized lasagna for their families and friends at home. Different stroke for different folks, right? Well, there really are plenty of ways to enjoy a Michael Angelo’s meal. So where do you usually indulge yourself in one of our authentic Italian meals? Work, home, school, on a picnic perhaps?

Given that January is National Soup Month, we’re all about side soups (perhaps an authentic Italian minestrone like the kind mom makes…yum). With the convenience of our meals, you can whip up a three-course meal in no time! Soup, salad, Michael Angelo’s meat lasagna? Easy peasy.

I’d bet that you guys have some pretty good side recipes that you whip up to compliment your favorite Michael Angelo’s meal, right? So why not share with us in the comment box below. We want to know what your favorite side dish is.

Each of our frozen entrees is handcrafted from Sara’s authentic Italian recipes, using only the natural, wholesome and fresh ingredients found in a genuine Italian kitchen.

Unlike many frozen-food companies, we have no warehouse. We cook our meals from scratch every single day, grinding our own beef and mixing our own special sauces. Then, we package and ship them to your local store within 36 hours. They would only be fresher if you made them yourself.

How do you keep your food fresh?
