Nothing is really off limits, but there are some ‘only sometimes’ foods. And convenience foods have their place, especially with the rising cost of groceries. There are so many ways to use convenience foods in a healthier, balanced meal. For this KD, I added a bolognese sauce I had a made a couple days prior, some yellow peppers, mushrooms, a lot of minced garlic, and topped with fresh Parmesan and chives.
I often use the $1 ramen packs and add eggs or shrimp for protein and veggies like frozen peas, mushrooms, or peppers. I use premade GF chicken cutlets to add to a homemade Caesar salad. You could also add additional veggies into a frozen pizza.
What’s your favourite way to jazz up a simple meal?
