What’s for dinner tonite!

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

No crockpot.
Got a stove today however.
Now I just need to put it in my kitchen and plug it in.
I just started a thread titled " Pay It Forward"
If you read it you will understand me getting a stove today.

My Mom used to make Ham, Mac-n-cheese casserole when I was kid. I didn't much care for it. My Mom was not much of a cook.
Her Ham, Mac-n-cheese casserole always had water in it for some reason.

Some of those meals are so disappointing as far as how much food is in them...

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

They were 360 calories each.
And yes I was disappointed.
I had a big 1170 calories total to eat yesterday.

The sodium is the killer of those prepared foods… you probably had 150% of your recommended daily sodium there

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

I believe that.
The best part about that is I don't add salt to my food.

 

[97RangerXLT]

try Hungryman frozen meals. quite a bit bigger but yeah, the sodium...

• sour cream mashed potatoes
• Walla Walla sweet onions caramelize (topping for the steaks)
• caramelized mushrooms for the gravy
• seasoned hand cut Tri-tip steaks, seared in butter
• gravy made from the pan drippings
• red chard salad with Cosmic Crisp apples, Applewood smoked bacon, Hungarian peppers, blue cheese, toasted sunflower Colonels and English Cucumber
My bust:
• homemade vinaigrette dressing featuring brown sugar, ginger/lemon + pineapple juice with equal parts of EVOO + Balsamic vinegar

Okay so my supper last night had 940mg = 41% sodium daily value. And 360 calories each.
I had 2 trays with some bread and a 12oz. can of coke.
The coke has 140 calories with 45mg = 2% sodium daily value.
White bread is 80 calories a piece. I don't know the sodium.
So my math of 1170 was off by a little bit.
4 pieces of bread at 80 = 320.
720+140+320=1110 calories

Tonight's supper is
Before cooking

After cooking

Hungry-Man:
Calories 490 a tray.
Sodium 1450mg = 63% daily value a tray.
Most likely will still eat 2 trays.
4 more pieces bread.
And today chocolate milk. Don't know the counts for chocolate milk.

I did buy half a gallon of vitamin d chocolate milk. I then cut it into four and filled each of those half gallon jugs with 2% regular milk.
Because I think they had too much chocolate to the chocolate milk.

Because I think they had too much chocolate to the chocolate milk.

You are entitled to your opinion. But...

There is no such thing as "too much chocolate".

With that being said, 80% or more of what I drink is tap water.
