[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]

where are you getting the idea the frozen vegetables have sodium? the only ones that do are the sauced/seasoned ones. Run of the mill frozen vegetables I.e.  frozen broccoli florets are just literally frozen broccoli.

And 1. you are actually getting home at least an hour before most parents. 2. your problem is you are making restaurant level meals on weeknights and wondering why it’s hard/taking too long.

I actually get home earlier than you and still wouldn’t do that to myself with young children. Also, if your husband has a special diet he needs to follow maybe he should cook for himself or keep easy meals that work for his diet around so that you don’t have to cater to the one person who needs that in the family. You are creating this problem for yourself. [/quote]
