Frozen Cuisine

Since the house has been for sale, we have eaten out a lot. I mean a lot. If I eat one more fry I will absolutely go nuts! So yesterday I went to the grocery store and stocked up on frozen meals. Not exactly home cookin', but much better than fast food.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this one:

It's the Lean Cuisine Apple Cranberry Chicken meal. I was happy to read "no preservatives, and no additives" on the box.

Here are the nutrition basics:

Calories 300
Fat 4g
Fiber 6g
Protein 14g
Sodium 500mg
Carbohydrates 54g
Diet Exchange: 1 1/2 Lean Meat,2 1/2 Starch,1/2 Fruit,1 Vegetable

I could do without 54g of carbs per meal, but I just kept it in mind and had a lower carb meal for dinner. Overall it is filling and a nicely tasty meal for lunch! You should try it sometime!

Atlanta's Cup Runneth Over

After days and days of rain, Atlanta has been all over the news for massive flooding. My school was canceled three days in a row due to washed out roads and flooded buildings. Jay's boss said that five people in his department called in with "water in their basements." I think this was the first time I was glad we don't have a basement. I captured a few photos of the rain in our neighbors' backyards, but it didn't even pale in comparison to some of the hardships other Atlantans faced. We're very lucky and count our blessings that the worst problem we dealt with was an air conditioner short in the wiring outside our house.
