I need to vent, don't pay attention.

[imabrat]

You don't need to read or reply, I just need to get this out.

I'm sick and tired of eating boloney sandwiches, chicken fries, and pizza every other day. It's not healthy and it's disgusting.
And my mom REFUSES to cook in the summer because it's too hot. I can't cook for myself, all the appliances are high up and I can't carry anything when I walk.

If I have to eat any of this stuff one more time, I'm going to freak out so bad I'll end up in a mental hospital.

I'm in the same boat...
Somewhat.
My mother works from Tuesday to Saturday and works until after supper.
My dad isn't a creative cook and half the stuff he likes that is healthy I think is disgusting.
So for 5 days of the week I eat frozen food that goes in the oven. And I don't like it because it's generally not tasty, and it's not healthy either.
But I can't complain because my dad hates that I'm a picky eater and I hate the 'If you learned to like things,' speech.

And I can't cook for crap.
And I'm afraid to cook meat of any kind because I'm afraid that I won't cook it long enough and I'll get sick.

TV Dinners! I hadn't thought of that! IDC if it's not too healthy, if it's variety I'll eat it.

Know what I'm eating for lunch? (I woke up late)
Corn and cheesey mashed potatoes. It was the only thing that I could think of.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

My parents make barbecue for dinner every other day in the summer.
I'm not even exaggerating.
Who can eat the same hot dog and potato salad 9025 days in the summer?
Not me.

Most of my frozen foods are pizza, chicken fingers, french fries, etc.
And I get sick of them so quickly.
I can't eat those frozen dinners like Hungry Man, they're icky.

Today is mum's day of work, we're having spaghetti and garlic fingers.
But I'm not hungry.
I betcha I'll be hungry tomorrow night when she's not home.
-.-

Stoffer's (SPELLING?!?) Mac 'n' Cheese is gooood.

I'm home alone lots, but usually I have pizza, tacos, nachos, mac 'n' cheese, etc. Easy things that don't involve the stove.

 

[DramaQueen]

ack! I have the saaame problem Sonya!

My mom doesn't like cooking too often in the summer, so if we're not eating out, or having a BBQ, I'm left to make my own dinner.

And me, being the not-so-amazing chef that I am...cannot manage to make something that requires more than 2 minutes in the microwave.

I'm getting kind of sick of pogos & pizza pockets! lol

I need to find something else to eat!!!!

 

[catycatcat4]

ask her to get things like premade salad ramen noodles that you can microwave its what i live off of

 

[xCourxCorex]

Lean Cuisine!
Not the best, but at least there's veggies : )

My favorites: Ginger Garlic stir fry, Chicken with Almonds, Chicken Alfredo, Asian style Pot Stickers, Sweet and Sour Chicken.

They're pretty good!

 

[Babyjustrun]

What I don't undestand about Lean Cuisine...
Is their sandwiches.
I mean, they're microwaveable?
Bread when microwaved is generally mushy, wet and disgusting.
So how can they make a sandwich taste good?

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I had a Lean Cuisine panini-sandwich thing once.
It wasn't the best, but the bread was crisp, not soggy.
It's because the box converts into this little microwave tray that you put the sandwich on. I don't really get the mechanics of it, but it def wasn't soggy.

 

[Sparx]

i like healthy choice dinners. they're super yummy. my favorite is the healthy choice chicken marinara.

usually either me or my dad cook. lately i've been cooking a lot for my self. i'm home alone a lot.

i really dont eat much meat, so theres some nights that i can only eat the side dishes my dad makes for dinner, so i'll usually make myself a little something extra.

 

[shellybellypolo]

I know how you feel.
Chicken every night doesn't make me feel good either.
And if I ever tried cooking... *shiver*

 

[KidGoofy]

Try having a huge party where you over-prepared with food and nobody was hungry. Now that would be hell for everyone here.

 

[catycatcat4]

XD i can eat though 2 or 3 hungry man meals.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I already cook every night, except when I'm not working. What I'm freaking sick of is KFC! It's right next to my work so I eat it almost every day for lunch. IT'S GROSS. I didn't even like KFC before, but after eating chicken strips and potato wedges every single day for a month I just couldn't do it anymore. I don't think I'll ever be able to physically eat KFC again.

I do sometimes get tired though of my general list of dinners. Ya know, I basically cook the same things for dinner every week. Or we go out to the same places. But now that's its summer I'll just start fixing big salads for dinner. Fine with me.

I don't like KFC much either.
I eat it almost everytime I go the mall because there's never a line up.
Their french fries are mediocre, and I refuse to buy any other of their chicken other than popcorn chicken. I love popcorn chicken.
But like the chicken fries and stuff like that make me want to puke.

 

[Cassidy]

I hate fast food. Even though it taste really good, I have to stop eating it.
I don't want to struggle with my weigh as an adult.
I want to start eating healthy dinners every night instead of going to Pizza Hut 5 nights a week.
Thats just unhealthy.
Ick.

The rule in my house is "if you don't like what's cooking- cook yourself". That's how I got to learn how to cook. I was a very picky eater when I was younger. I wouldn't eat half of what my parents cooked, and even now I'm very sensitive to texture when eating. I can't eat pork or chunky sauces on my spaghetti because of this problem. I can cook couscous like a pro- complete with chicken and veggies cooked fresh if I feel like it. Couscous isn't a hard dish. It's basically small pasta balls (like...half a grain of rice small) and you boil a pot of water (to the amount specified for the amount of couscous you're cooking) and pour in the couscous. Turn off the heat once you've added the couscous and cover it for about 8 minutes- it steams itself and everything. You can add whatever you want to it, too. It's really easy to make and you can spice it up however you want.

Other than that, I love to mess around with salad ingredients, I like trying new dishes with beef and chicken and I'm a master griller, so long as I'm using a wild flame like in a fireplace. I can't grill for crap on an actuall grill. I was a girl scout and we used to do overnighters where all we were given was a list of ingredients and matches if we needed them. I could totally survive on my own in the forest. And I'm learning how to make pizza with a dutch oven!

I don't eat fast food except for when I'm grabbing a quick lunch at WDW. I ate at a Burger King for the first time in 3 years last weekend when I was with a friend on the way home from taking the SAT IIs. It's absolutely horrible for you and if you want more info on exactly how bad it is, read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. It will open your eyes to the evil, artery-clogging badness that is fast food. I can't physically make myself eat meat at any fast food place now. I start gagging. I had to get just fries and a drink at BK!

Overall, I eat pretty healthy considering my limited resources. It's too expensive to go out often and it's a long drive to the store if I have a sudden craving. I just learned to make do with what I had in the pantry.
