Healthier Pre-Made Dinners?

l





This is a great way to bulk up a cheap frozen dinner meal! I usually don't like to purchase frozen dinners due to the high sodium content, but at $0.49, I couldn't pass it up. We do not eat them very often, but I still wanted to insure I was getting some good stuff in too!
I added a stalk and head of broccoli, 2 yellow squash, and a zucchini sauteed in some sesame oil to the frozen meal, and voila! Instant, cheap, and healthier dinner that lasted through dinner and made a tasty lunch the next day.

Do you have any ideas for making pre-made meals healthier?

  1. 49 cents??

    I usually add to those pre made dinner thingies too. There never seems to be enough in the package.

  2. Yeah! I got the Stouffer's Easy Express Skillet meals for a whopping $0.49! Such a deal that I couldn't bare to pass them up! I definitely agree with you though, there is never enough in the packages, and I'm always looking for new and healthier ways to add a little bulk.
