I am usually, admittedly, not a fan of frozen foods that are made as diet products. Many of them sound fabulous in theory. Unfortunately, what you end up with tends to be bland, limp, and otherwise unflattering.
These are the types of foods that make you assume they are diet because people would rather not eat them so that’s how they end up losing their weight. However, at times sacrifices have to be made. In my house, we have decided to start trying out some lower calorie options for lunches. We were losing some weight when we ate Lean Cuisines and other options, but after stopping it feels as if the weight is coming back so it’s time to get back on the horse.
For dinner last night, I found some Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas in the freezer. I decided to give them a whirl. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I did add some Taco Bell Mild Sauce and some Nonfat Sour Cream, but otherwise it was all SmartOnes. The benefits here are that these are easy to make. You can have two cooked in the microwave in less than five minutes. I tried these in the microwave, though normally I would have baked them. However, due to a stove snafu, things in that department were not working and thus, accommodations needed to be made.

If you cook, you use salt in some form or fashion. Whether it is in a mix of a seasoning blend or it’s straight from your counter, you are getting your daily salt intake somehow. The problem is that salt can be very powerful in a bad way. It’s good because it brings out the taste in your food, but it’s bad because it can overpower the taste just as easily. This is all compounded by the fact that the majority of people have never been blessed with anything beyond the taste of pure white table salt.
