Thank you all so much for your sweet and kind words on my last post! I didn’t really know what to expect when I hit the publish button, but I really enjoyed hearing what you all had say about your diets and what works for you. Like I said, no two people are the same
I thought I would show you one of my FAVORITE meals as of late. And when I say favorite, I mean favorite. I probably have it every night or for lunch. I just can’t stop, won’t stop.
As I mentioned, I am a frozen food junkie. Yes, the sodium is usually sky high, but I need the salt to keep me hydrated during these hot & humid mornings. I don’t normally pick up Lean Cuisines, Smart Ones or Healthy Choices unless they sound really good. Case in point, this guy:
With the promise of chicken, zucchini, onions and black beans I wanted to try it out! Naturally, this Mexican theme dish needed some salsa on the side. Had a little too many peppers for my liking, but overall it was pretty good.
However, this is not the star of my meal. Oh no – that would be my baked potato. Friends, I can’t get enough of them. Whether it is a Russet or Sweet Potato, I have to have one. I love the soft starchy consistency. Not to mention they make great vehicles for Wholy Guacamole & Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges!

Now this was a lunch because the frozen entree was on the light side for me. If I make this into my dinner I usually have a burrito via Amy’s or Evol to get some more energy in. I could eat variations of this meal for weeks & not get tired. Sadly, I have been



Mmmm I feel the same my friend, I am craving some good Mexican right now!
Cheers

stopppp it. is that a coconut hershey kiss I spy!?!? so good.
I changed my blog address fyi http://simplycomplicatedkait.wordpress.com
Yum. I’ve been super repetitive with my lunches lately too. Finding what works!!
I don’t really buy a lot of frozen meals, but It is always nice to find ones that do taste good! They are nice to have on hand for when I am feeling lazy:) Maybe I will have to try this one out!!
I am digging those coconut kisses! They sounds amazing. I’ll have to keep my eye out for them the next time I go food shopping
Looks delicious! Glad you had the chocolate in there too!
whoa..coconut hershey kisses?? never heard of them…but going on a search now.
I love Amy’s burritos! And oh my gosh, their frozen vegan tamales are to die for. Yup, death. Nothing wrong with a frozen meal or two, and love the idea to add some fresh sides.
My tendency would be to skip straight to the sweetness but that is something I’m getting better at preventing with age
A meal’s not over without something sweet! I like that you pointed out the correlation between salt & running. Salt always gets a bad rap but sometimes, eating a bit more can have a beneficial impact!
Neverrr forget the sweetness!!
I love Wholly Guacamole! It is the best stuff EVER! I love how short their list of ingredients is, especially compared to many guacamole mix packets. And it’s just more delicious anyways.
I’ve been in a major chocolate mode too! I have to have a Dove Dark promise after every single dinner.
Coconut hershey’s!? I didn’t know such a glorious thing existed… will be on the look out next time I’m at the store… aka tomorrow most likely!
Coconut hersheys? WHAT?! Must try this. Everything else looks amazing too
I always had a couple of frozen meals tucked away in my freezer at uni for days when the fatigue hit particularly badly, I have to say they are a great comfort! That one looks delicious, plus I love guacamole so it’s definitely a good meal for me
Oh potatoes, how I love them. Sweet potato everything! And if there is NOTHING else to eat but fast food, like when I’m traveling, I’ll stop at Wendy’s and get a baked potato. YUM
I also try to be careful about the sodium, but you’re right – sometimes you need it.
I love sweet potatoes! I usually don’t buy any frozen dinner unless they look really good too!
I used to buy that frozen Chicken Santa Fe entree all the time when I was in college! It brings back so many memories! I used to add a Laughing Cow cheese wedge to make it creamy.
I stay away from frozen food for the most part now, but occasionally I’ll treat myself to Amy’s Cheese Enchilada meal when I’m short on time (if you haven’t tried it you should…SO good!).
I am a potato junkie as well! I usually have a white or sweet potato at least once a day!
I feel you on the sodium. I intake a lot as well, but I typically stay away from frozen meals due to the funky ingredients and small portions, not the sodium.
Yum! Baked potatoes are the best
I love potato, I’m not a masher though I like them in chunks
I agree, laughing cow is fantastic on them! This sounds like a good combination of flavours for a frozen dinner
I haven’t bought frozen dinners in a long time, but that one looks incredible!
I’m tagging you as an inspirational blogger! Thanks for the awesome posts!

coconut hershey kisses? that’s amazing! love that you’re mixing and matching the frozen meals!
Yum! Putting Laughing cow cheese on a baked potato sounds like a great idea! Call me crazy, but I had no idea there are Coconut Hershey’s Kisses. I must get on that ASAP!
that looks good! I am like you, I rarely buy frozen meals not because of what is in them but because it is not enough! I always have to add things to it to make it enough food for me. I am glad you addressed that,I hate when people say they ate a little meal like that. That would last me about a second of fullness. So, I am not a fan of chocolate but coconut… I kind of want to try that.
Your potatoes look epic roomie
and yes I am writing this while you are upstairs showering and getting ready after your run! Too cool for school? or just lame but all of the same it feels strange
Coconut kisses are incredible! I had one a few years ago and I haven’t been able to find them since,
A coconut hershey kiss?!? Is it with dark chocolate? If so, that could be DANGEROUS! And while I’m not a big fan of regular potatoes, sweet potatoes are one of the best things ever!
Oh girl, I am the same way with potatoes. I love them! In college, they were one of my absolute favorite lunches! I just had my wisdom teeth out this weekend so I’ve been eating mashed potatoes like none other, haha!
Coconut Hershey kisses are my favorite! I remember downing bags of them when I let myself go with my first pregnancy haha now I’m craving some Mexican, that frozen entree does look good, the only time I ever eat them is when I’m pregnant and would need something fast before I got sick, but you are right they are light and never seem to satisfy, smart idea to add to it with your potato and guac!
