Complete Dinner. They are the eazy to make & better too eat. I think if you don't feel like cooking. They are the best for you.

Banquet Cheesy Ham and Hashbrowns! Delicous. The box says it contains 5 servings but it's actually 2.

Disgusting. Sorry - I have issues with prepackaged "homestyle" :duh: meals. Make it yourself - it tastes better and saves money.

:barf:
I did that after Isabel - because we had no groceries. The stuff is still in the refrigerator; I figured if it doesn't have an expiration date because you do not add any dairy to it - why not watch it as an experiment.

If you skeptics served that stuff one night without saying what it was, you'd get lots of applause for great cooking.

Not true. Did that. It was edible but it had something like 1000 mg of sodium per serving. I'd rather just lick the salt shaker. :barf:

:yeahthat: I made one for dinner once. The rest are collecting dust in my pantry. :ohwell: :barf: I don't like my food mixed together as it is. :frown:

Now, I can do some of the frozen stouffer's things .... i.e., lasagna. :yum: but homemade is best :yum:

True, But I needed something TWL could make. Because This baby is going to be here soon. It's eazy, & he can make it without me holding his hand. :biggrin: :biggrin:

you might be better off (health-wise and financially) to prepare meals now (lasagna, quiche, etc.) and freeze them w/labels so that when the baby comes, he can pluck one out, pop it in the oven, and bam -- dinner. It'll be healthier that way than all that sodium and preservatives -- especially if you will be nursing. Babies are fussy creatures when it comes to your diet when you breastfeed them. They're eating what you eat, and they WILL let you know what you are allowed to have and not! :wink:

Tigger ... if you don't have a crock pot, get one. They're relatively inexpensive ($25-30 for a nice sized one). They are a Godsend! And there are a ton of recipes for them on the internet that are easy. There is no easier dinner preparation short of going out, and even that takes effort getting dressed and driving there. With a crock pot, you just throw your stuff in, turn it on low in the morning, and voila -- it's done at dinner time.

If I get time this week, I'll pm you some links to recipes on the web and/or give you a few of my own. :yum: Just keep in mind to stick with foods that are more on the bland side if you nurse ... at least for the first few weeks.

I have 3 crockpots that I rarely use. Do you leave them on while you are at work? I couldn't imagine leaving the house with it plugged in and on. I know that's what they are made for but I just can't bring myself to do it.

yea, I leave mine on ... just make sure there isn't anything near it (plastic bag, candles, etc) to melt or catch on fire. It should be fine. I also keep mine on the stove top since it's made to handle heat.

I tried to search for a crock pot recipe thread ... I know we had one a long time ago ... :confused:
