In reply to the discussion: I am done, done I say with any Stouffers frozen dinners. [View all]womanofthehills
(8,796 posts)90. I like meat - I grill, boil or bake chicken breasts
Or bake or grill grass fed beef. I cook enough meat for about 5 meals. Also, mini greens in my windows. You can also buy LEDs to always have fresh mini greens.
Then I can have meat meals all week - like chicken tacos, sandwichs, stir fry, chicken over rice or chicken pizza. I have 4 mini tomato plants in my south windows so I always have fresh tomatoes for all dishes.
Same with grass fed beef - steak & eggs with fruit, stir fry and sandwiches etc.
With an automatic rice cooker -you can make a large batch of rice - and divide it and freeze it.

Seconded. I buy those instead of the "cheap" ones which are half the price of MC and are barely edible.
