when i was saving for my up-front costs when buying my house (mortgage), i ate a couple banquet pot pies for dinner pretty much every day. my lunches were a bit better/more substantial, but still inexpensive. i put together a hefty sum in a relatively short period of time doing that!Banquet frozen chicken pot pie
At 89¢, I'm sure it's loaded with more sodium than actual nutrients, but at least it tastes good!
That mac and cheese recipe is delicious! It's definitely a keeper. I will post it in The Exchange tomorrow. Definitely worth trying.
Yeah, ate them way too many times to count! I also was an affciando on Ramen soups. At 29 cents, they were definetly cheap, but had so much salt in them that every time I took a bath, I kept wondering if I was gonna float in the water! LOLBanquet frozen chicken pot pie

What's different about it?
IMG can I come to you for supper
Oh man, I have had so much Ramen lately. Tastes like pure sodium. :lol3:
My trick for ramen? Open package. Remove sodium packet disguised as seasoning. Throw it out. Cook noodles in low sodium broth- chicken, vegetable, beef, etc depending on your preference. Add frozen veggies of your choice while noodles are cooking if you'd like. You can also throw in some leftover cooked meat if you have any or add a beaten egg while it's cooking to make it like an egg drop/noodle soup combo. Super easy, tasty, far less sodium and inexpensive.Oh man, I have had so much Ramen lately. Tastes like pure sodium.
I like to make it with the egg :nod: I also like it with the sodium packet though :lol3:My trick for ramen? Open package. Remove sodium packet disguised as seasoning. Throw it out.

I have heard that you can crunch the noodles up when they're dry, stick them in a microwave-safe bowl, put a small ice cube on the microwave dish, and cook the noodles up. You stop the microwave every 30-45 seconds, stir the noodles around, then cook some more. Do this several times until the noodles are to the cooked level that you desire. (the ice cube is for moisture to keep the microwave element from eventually burning up, I guess). I tried this about a week ago, and it's not bad. Sort of crunchy like potato chips. I guess you could put some of the seasoning on it before you cook 'em, most likely it would stay on the noodles as they cook.I like to make it with the eggI also like it with the sodium packet though
I always cook them in mug 'cause I'm too lazy to deal with the stove :lol3:
i hope your eye feels better soon!
