Recent Meal

The other night my family and I had lasagna for dinner. Our lasagna was paired with garlic bread and salad.
This meal consisted of:

  • Stouffer's Family Size Box Lasagna (frozen).
  • Pepperidge Farms Garlic Toast (frozen).
  • Salad
    • 1 Head of lettuce from Ingles
    • Grape Tomatoes, also from Ingles
    • Kraft's shredded cheese
    • Hormel Bacon Bits
    • Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
Absolutely nothing I had for this dinner was "fresh" by any standards,and even more disturbing, this is a typical pattern in my daily eating habits which is very disturbing to me when put into perspective. Many of the meals I eat are "Family Size" frozen dinners, which due to the time constraints my family has to deal with, in conjunction with the ease of popping a frozen hunk of false Italian into the oven, makes for a simple fix to the common question "What's for dinner?" I know that time is always an issue for my family between school, work, ball games, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life that comes with living in a 9 person household, but it would be nice to maybe eat something that wouldn't withstand a nuclear holocaust every once in a while.
