After about a month binge on Kroger wavy potato chips - I cut them out, cold turkey, about three weeks ago. Along with some other changes, I've seen a drop in my BP.
Most of my cooking is tinkering. I'll start with a basic recipe and improvise, or use some sort of starter, then add my own flourishes. For example, the ALDI sells a two pound bag of stir-fry veggies with noodles.
So, what do I do?
I use a couple of cups of the pre-made stuff, then add my own linguini noodles, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and 'shrooms, plus beef strips. Of the finished meal, only about 25% was from the original 'packaged' stuff.
But, I can't say that Sienna has taken the same interest in reading labels as I have.
"Daddy, I iz dog. I haz not got to look at that silly can. Just open it and feed me already!"
BTW, a follow-up on a recent post when I said I'd report my impression of the Winking Owl Shiraz from ALDI. Upon close inspection, the label showed a 'born on' date of 32 A.D. I think it may have been leftover from the vinegar offered Jesus by the Roman soldiers who mocked him as he was dying on the cross. (Luke 23:36)

The greatest dogs that ever lived were fed cheeseburgers,hot dogs, carne guisada tacos with cheese, Mac and cheese, and sides of dog food -- one died at 18 years of age and the other was @least 15.. They were big dogs. But we walked twice a day- rain, snow, ice or heat. Miss them terribly! They never had a weight problem and were the best natured dogs ever.
