I went to check on the last pair of bantam polish chickens the other day and they were gone. Tonight I figured out what happened. Some varmint ripped through the chain link fence and dragged them away. So now I am down to one rooster that I hate. Ugh.

Sorry, cap

You will learn that grapes, oranges, apples, celery sticks with peanut butter, baby carrots, and raw broccoli are delicious and far more satisfying than any of that junk.

I still use milk, some cheese, and whole grain bread - in moderation. There's whole wheat pastas available.

Make a nice vegetable soup and eat on that for a couple days a week. Saute diced onion and celery in olive oil till tender, toss in some diced garlic and heat till tender. Pour in a box of vegetable, beef or chicken broth. Add drained cans of beans in it, any two of black beans, navy or kidney beans. Put in half a cup each of diced fresh carrots, diced fresh zucchini if you have one, and a can of drained green beans. Toss in a handful of frozen corn. Add a handful of spinach a few minutes before serving, just to wilt it. Salt to taste. Your body will love you for it.

Make it easy for yourself. Cook something or things one day a week and divide it so you can eat it srveral times throughout the week so you don't have to cook every night. Put some things in the freezer you can take out in rotation so you don't have to eat the same things every night.

That stuff is pretty good but nothing compared to the other stuff also I know the Cheez Its are terrible as is boxed Mac but surely the rest isn’t THAT bad!? Idk. Wishful thinking I guess. I’m a HUGE carbie and also dairy too. I can go through 2 gallons of milk in a week by myself. Maybe a week and a half at most. Mac and cheese is my favorite thing ever. so is pasta and good bread.

I guess I could try the whole wheat stuff. It’s not as good but maybe it’s not that bad either, idk lol

That sounds like an interesting mix of vegetables LOL never would have thought of combining those ones together. I could try it.

A good neighbor brought over a Christmas gift for my Ma. A pair of rechargeable hearing aids for me so she doesn't have to yell at me. At least we can keep in in eggs every week of the year. He does love eggs and uses a couple of dozen a week. I don't eat a dozen a month.

Also thank you Blue and everyone else

Shrek you can get reusable and microwaveable containers to make warm ahead meals in. We do it all the time. Great way to save money by using leftovers for future meals that are better than those factory meals.
