I'm making an effort to go out to eat no more than once each week and when I do, I try to avoid the typical fast food joints and instead go with locally owned restaurants. But when it comes to eating at home, it's hard to make homemade meals regularly and I end up having frozen dinners or some sort of prepared dinner concoction.
Tonight's main course: Classic Double Cheeseburger
Hamburger Helper. And for the vegetable:
a handful of peas, the kind that have been frozen and then boiled in the microwave.
Hamburger Helper Ingredients:Enriched Macaroni (Durum Semolina, Durum Flour, Niacin, Ferrous Sulfate [Iron], Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Corn Starch, Maltodextrin, Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Salt, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Mono and Diglycerides, Modified Corn Starch, Corn Syrup (Dried), Ricotta Cheese (Whey, Milkfat, Lactic Acid, Salt), Nonfat Milk, Monosodium Glutamate, (Dried) Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Natural Flavor, Citric Acid, Color (Yellows 5&6, Yellow Lake 5 and Red Lake 40), Soy Flour, Egg.
And according to
this web site, this particular flavor is ranked 192 out of 197 on nutrition performance, so this might be something I need to
avoid eat less of in the future.
I eat meat about three times each week. I eat a lot more vegetables than meat products, but it's difficult. I'll go back to regular
salad consumption during the summer, but for now, I'm bored with eating my same-old fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.
I need suggestions. I've made several homemade soups to freeze in serving-size batches, but it's either that or the other side attraction of frozen-then boiled peas/carrots/broccoli. No wonder I feel like vegetable-consumption is a self-forced issue. What vegetable recipes end up in regular rotation at your house?
