What the HELL is the point of making it from scratch and using velveeta? your dad is nuts. he started off with a valid argument, and he's right, the box stuff is crap. but then he completely discredited himself by suggesting the velveeta. he's on the right track, but he really needs to do some more research, because velveeta is the same kind of trash as hamburger helper.
my poor husband can't fit into his pants anymore. he went from a 30 waist to a 34. in addition to making everything from scratch, i'm now paying a lot more attention to how fattening the food is! i stopped using ground beef and sausage altogether. i've been using ground turkey in his food. i just made him stuffed cabbage with lowfat sour cream and ground turkey and he didn't even know the difference...
Good choice and a good way to introduce healthier foods into his "diet". :thumpsup:

Boy I really could have done with better eating habits years ago. Now I'm paying for it..ah well. I'm about to do a modified Atkins diet. At least I can have lean meat (and apparently, as much as I want, but I'll probably do a lot of chicken and turkey).

As far as boxed dinners: Syc and I used to do them a lot but not anymore. Way too much sodium and stuff in them, but they were good, IMO. Hamburger Helper: haven't done that in years. Almost forgot they still make it.
