Re: grrrrrrr bad day - frozen dinners

The only problem I might see here is the sodium these might have! Most

processed dinners have loads of sodium, and I don't know about you, but

I can tell when I've had too much sodium, I feel all 'water-logged'

LOL. Just my 2 cents.

* I noticed Low Carb Lean Cuisines the other day and nearly fell

over. It's about time! After years of putting out boxes of pasta they've

finally given us a meat portion with a bunch of veggies. Pretty small.

It looks like BFLers might need to eat two of them or have something

else on the side. I bought a couple but I haven't tried them yet.

another idea for frozen meals is to just prepare enough so that you

can freeze the leftovers. I always double my chicken chili recipe

and that freezes really well. I also make lots of the banana bread,

which isn't in the cook book but I'd be happy to post the recipe if

anyone is interested. I make the mini loaves and they're a perfect

meal. I also double my batches of protein pancakes, another recipe

not in the book but from the bfl board and then freeze them and just

pop them in the microwave. I usually take an afternoon on the

weekend and cook some things for the week since dh and I have both

been doing bfl for about a year.

Yep, the dinners and the canned soups/chilis are quite high in

sodium. But I keep them around for emergency stash. The mornings you

are running late, stuck at work during lunch and they order Chinese

<G>...those types of things. That way I'm not doing too much damage

and still staying on track.

Yes please! Both the banana bread and pancake recipies would be

fab. Also, how do you freeze the pancakes? wrap them in plastic

first?
