I've had the 'hungry man' line at times. They aren't bad for a quick
fix when my back is giving me grief and don't want to cook. Just like
I got a cheap Harris Teeter premade frozen pizza today (Sausage and
Pepperoni). We'll dress it up with onions, black olives, bell peppers
(red, yellow, orange and green available in the crisper), canned
mushrooms, and thin slivers of cheese. I think it was 2.39$ Suitably
sized for us 2 with some leftovers. I don't always want to make a
pizza from scratch when Don gets a hankering for one.
I also got a 'Healthy Choice' 'Cafe Steamers' in Mexican-style street
corn with roasted chicken breast. That's for Wednesday when I actually
go in to work. As I've said before, I am 'mostly a scratch cook' but I
do get some oddiments from the frozen section. Don snagged some frozen
hash browns which he dresses up with some onion, bell pepper, S&P then
fries with a little butter and olive oil to have with his eggs in the
morning.
