[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I steer away from anything that is cooked in a bag because I don't know what chemicals are leaching out of the bag.  So I say use the frozen veggies but nuke them in a ceramic bowl or similar.

For the same reason, I also agree with trying to use the Eden canned beans to avoid the BPA.

And if you shop at WF, they have shredded cheese (at least pizza cheese) that they shred themselves so it doesn't have the additives in it.  I also just found cooked beets in the produce section (if you're kids will eat that), and there are a lot of cut up veggies for a once a week stir fry.

If you use brown rice from trader joes it will cook in 20 minutes on the stove or in the rice cooker.  Or you can use whole wheat couscous, quinua, barley or bulger - all will cook in less than 20 minutes.

I aim for three real cooked dinners a week - usually one on weekends, at least one item cooked in a big pot so I can throw 1/2 in the freezer for another meal.  And usually one stir fry, and then one simple pork chop/chicken breast type meal.  I also aim to throw something healthy in the freezer once a month  - sometimes meatballs, sometimes muffins made with maple syrup and whole wheat white flour.  [/quote]
