I think too much!
I needed to scratch the itch for making bread today, so I did it. I went to make tortillas like I mentioned earlier, but the bag of flour that I thought was whole wheat wasn't. So I made a stromboli instead. It called for whole wheat flour as well as either potato flakes or flour. I found that I had spelt, soy, and rice flours in the pantry. Substituted spelt for the WW and rice for the potato. For the filling, I sauted spinach, onions, garlic, cooked chicken breast, and some olive oil then mixed in some reduced fat feta. Oh my, it turned out so great!! I could have eaten and eaten and eaten, but I stopped myself sooner rather than later. I'm glad I did because I was so full just a little bit later. The bread was great and the filling was full of flavor. I wish the girls had liked it. They liked the bread part, but not the filling. I think the feta was a little pungent for their tastes. The next time I make it (which will happen, but I don't know when), I'll do one with pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni and cheese for them. That will go over much better.
So I've definitively decided that I'm not going to go back to JC again. With Ashley's suggestions for organic frozen options, I realize that I'm not limited to the bland Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine, etc., that I was dreading. I've had a few different meals from Amy's and have always been impressed. I'll definitely be searching. Now I'm just mad that I have even more JC food in my freezer than I had before. Maybe I'll sell it on eBay. That would take away a lot of the guilt since it's mostly tied to the amount of money I just wasted.
