Can We Talk about Frozen Dinners?

[StarSong]

Well, I started this thread to see if there are options, and I'm thinking there really aren't. Drat! I already do cook extra for freezer meals because I love cooking. And I use 0 sodium beef and chicken broths for soups. It would have been nice to have some quick things in the freezer, but I do think I'll have to be forgetting that idea. Oh, is the Herb Ox still working for you, @StarSong ? I am *so* glad I found that years ago... packaged broth is shocking... even those that claim "reduced sodium!"

I do not have a sodium problem at this point, but it's time to make sure I won't in the future either. My target number in a frozen meal would have been like 400mg or less... not even sure that's possible.

Yes, I still use the Herb Ox no sodium broth mix. Like you, I don't have a sodium problem and don't want one. I avoid sodium when possible: saltine-type crackers but with unsalted tops, NoSalt (a sodium free alternative to table salt), low-sodium soy sauce and so forth.

I don't buy commercial frozen meals. That said, although I generally cook from scratch, I'm not opposed to using some commercially made ingredients in my cooking. I don't roll my own tortellini, for instance. Is it high in sodium? Probably, but that's the price of occasionally eating food containing cheese.
