Back to Basics

After three weeks of nothing but The Great Microwave Experiment (blugggg) for dinner, I have planned a weekly menu of home cooked meals for the next 6 days.

  • Fish tacos
  • Thai chicken with string beans and rice
  • Lasagna with veggies and pork sausage
  • Rosemary garlic pork chops with rice and peppers
  • Shrimp gumbo and jalapeƱo cornbread
  • Chicken noodle soup and toasty ham & cheese sandwiches
Hopefully these slow-cooked meals will give me satiety and some pep. The frozen dinners were tasty but they never really filled me up nor did they give me the energy I need. I feel sluggish and foggy all the time now. Some real food is needed, stat!

Three weeks of microwaved food? Why?

Your menu sounds yummm-y! Wish I had some of that. I had cottage cheese and canned peaches for supper.

Long story short: I was trying to cut back on calories and on disagreements and apathy about dinner at our house. We've got 4 ppl in the house. I didn't want to cook for them, nor they me. So I bought a bunch of tv dinners and ate them for lunch and dinner.

My experiment showed me that saving time is great, but giving up quality cost me more. I also didn't lose any weight and I was tired all the time. It just goes to show that real food is always better.

I'll post about the results of last week's "real" food menus soon!
