TV dinner

A TV dinner is like a special meal that you can eat while watching your favorite TV show or movie. It's like a big meal that you get in a box or container, and it already has everything you need to eat it, like the food and the tray you can put it on.

The food in a TV dinner is already cooked, so you don't have to do anything except heat it up in the microwave or oven. Sometimes, you might have to peel off a piece of plastic or cover before heating it up. Once it gets hot, you can take it out and start eating!

Usually, a TV dinner has different sections in the tray that hold different types of food, like meat, vegetables, or dessert. So you basically get a little bit of everything in one meal!

The best part of a TV dinner is that it's really easy to eat and you don't have to cook anything from scratch! Plus, you get to enjoy it while watching your favorite show or movie- just like a treat!
