[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So no one is using fresh vegetables at all? Just frozen or CANNED??

We can't have frozen dinners or even much take out because of my DH low sodium diet restrictions.

I mean, yeah, we make mac and cheese but that's like my last choice since its nutritionally bereft.

We don't want just pasta and can of jarred sauce -- my side of family has history of diabetes, thats why something like whole grain rice with vegetables in a paella is better than rice cooker white rice or frozen fried rice.[/quote]

Rao's is low sugar.  Pasta with meat sauce is no worse than paella.[/quote]

I was the jarred sauce poster and I use Rao’s. I don’t use frozen vegetables, for those who were freaked out by that possibility. The reality with cooking at home easily is that if you have dietary restrictions or hang ups about frozen/jarred you either have to commit to using occasional weekends for making and freezing or canning your own sauces, prepped vegetables, portioned meats, etc. or you are going to have long evenings of cooking. Weekend or occasional big prep sessions are how most of us are pulling off nightly dinners that are relatively healthy and quick. [/quote]
