Lol! I do 10 of these. I used to do oatmeal packets for my husband, but he’s stopped eating them and the vinagrette.
I think the cream soup mix is my favorite.

Nicely done!

I have to cook my own chicken at home. Those ready cooked broiler chickens are sky high in sodium, high in fat, and I swear the skin has sugar on it to help it brown, it tastes sweet. Anyone who has High Blood Pressure, Cardiac or Renal Issues, or Diabetes,
or a Low Fat Diet for Medical Issues needs to beware, processed/convenience foods. That includes condiments, all sauces, gravies, and herbs, spices, & seasoning mixes! Excess sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, unnecessary chemicals, preservatives, natural & artificial flavors & colors, MSG, GMO, BHA, BHT, BPA lined cans, undeclared ingredients including non food fillers, extra fat, extra sugar, artificial sweeteners (migraines or seizures) extra salt for flavor enhancement. Read labels every time, products change formula constantly, GMO altered ingredients. Not to mention the price of processed/convenience foods. I have to make pasta & pizza sauces, seasoning mixes. There is dairy sneaked into the weirdest stuff and I’m allergic to cow dairy. I can’t have cayenne pepper or store bought chili powder both make me horribly sick. I add the other spices and use real jalapeños or red pepper flakes by the pinch. I am allergic to shrimp & lobster. At 1 point I read Progresso Clam Chowder’s label & found Shrimp broth. Since then the formula has changed, but not my mind. Allergens are another thing to watch out for in processed/convenience foods. Keep Scratch ingredient recipes coming, please. I prefer baked beans from scratch, way less, salt, & sugar, no salt tomato paste instead of the ubiquitous ketchup, extra molasses and less brown sugar, lots of onions & garlic, Liquid Smoke to keep the lower sodium bacon to a minimum. There are many reasons to make things from scratch. #2 reason is they taste better. #1 reason, you have 100% control over what goes in, and no hidden undeclared ingredients!

I followed this link from Pinterest, in the hope that there was an actual recipe for taquitos. 🙁 Guess I’ll be removing that pin.
Jessica Fisher
Sorry that Pinterest wasn’t clear. You can find my beef taquitos recipe here. My chicken flauta recipe (similar to taquitos) is here. So yummy!

Thank you and keep the recipes coming! You are one of my fave 31 Dayers! 🙂
Jessica Fisher
Aw, thanks!

This series has really met a need for me – my time and schedule are tighter than ever!
Your burrito post got me started
I’ve taken some odds and ends out of the freezer and made chi ken and cheese burritos – also shredded some BBQ pork and made a dozen slider sandwiches
A little ground beef and pork became a sheet of “meatballs” last night that ill turn into meatball calzones this afternoon
I had been doi g pretty well with breakfasts but I see I now really need to keep “instameals” for days the teens are famished and there’s no time to cook
Jessica Fisher
Yay! I love to hear these great success stories!

I just started making my own granola at home, so yummy and easy! However, I would like to go a step further and make granola bars for snacks on the go. I hope you can include a recipe for these one of these 31 days! Looking forward to your posts! Thank you!
Jessica Fisher
It’s on the plan!

I will definitely be following this one! I’m trying to only eat out once a week (Sunday) but I’m gradually even wanting to start using crockpot more and freezer meals to eliminate that. I feel bad that alot of times my freezer contains processed frozen foods instead of homemade ones that I freeze.

I’m looking forward to this series for so many of the reasons you named. My husband is always asking me, “what can I just grab and eat?” One can only eat crackers and peanut butter so many times I guess. Just yesterday I walked through the frozen food section and felt like I’d passed through an alternative dimension. Everything was so foreign to me.

What a great topic, I’m really looking forward to your recipes!!
Kristen @ Joyfullythriving
I love this, Jessica! I, too, want to have fun foods in my house with worrying about the health or high prices. I will be following along, and am excited to gain some more great recipes from you!
