I'm done with ordering READY MADE meals from HEB . this is

Kemibe :
Yes..I'm done with ordering these meals.

I don't buy preped meals or meal delivery plans. The lady that lived across from me in Florida got a few diones and all were not enough for two people. Three meals cold packed in the Florida sun till she brought it in. Besides that, a tsp of this, that and the other for the three meals. I could buy a two weeks of groceries and fill my spice cabinet cheaper.

That Thai chicken is good; you can buy coconut rice to make with it!

With my adult kids living at home and me working like crazy, I've tried every meal delivery service there is. It's just too easy now to go to the store and buy your own.

jv339 : That's about it!

How many adult kids? No reason to share cooking days and chores. I'm a believer that everyone contributes to the household work. I mean cooking and cleaning are basic life necessity. Even my dh who doesn't really cook has to find a few meals a week, gets nagged to do his chores.
I spent Tuesday making five quarts of sauce and meatballs. I froze most and have enough to boil lasagna noodles today. I'll make one for dinner and one to freeze. By prepping veggies etc for the week, it's all about pulling bags and using what's prepped. Maybe have a family meal prep party once a week. I do it after grocery shopping.

doddlebug : I thought in a ready-made meal, the meat was already cooked. Is that not true because yours doesn't look cooked.

beadweaver :
Thank you for the tips

sweetie :
They are just prepped, seasoned and basically over salted. That looks like the trim on steak. Not a steak.
Most of those meals aren't even a great value.
How hard is it to throw a steak under the broiler or on the grill, steam some veggies or even toss a salad? I like to bake extra potatoes. I can always cut them up for breakfast or just warm one as a double stuffed.

doddlebug: We buy HEB's prepared meals often without problems. You should be done with online ordering.

Twins, one of each and an instant family! We have a days set where we share in meal planning and prepping since I work a crazy schedule. Three things we make every week. Caesar salad with grilled chicken, Chicken parmesan and pizza night. The other nights we come up with a game plan and we all do the shopping on Sundays, prep that evening.

I love those Meal Simple meals. But I pick out my own and look carefully at the size of the serving, sodium and carb content and the expiration date! I rarely use their sauces.. too much of the previously mentioned bad stuff. But for someone who lives alone an doesn't get home until 7 ish, they make my life easier. I really do not want to come home and cook and clean up for just me!
