🥪 ARBY’S PECAN CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
I was running the last of my errands yesterday and other than a Dr appt at the end of the month – I don’t need to go back to town for a few weeks.

I decided I wanted an Arby’s Sandwich but didn’t check the nutrition beforehand. I ended up not having it last night so I was a bit surprised when I looked it up this morning and found it was 840 calories. Whew!

No problem. I just worked my day backwards around it but sadly it was quite dry and not very nice. I wouldn’t buy it again.

🍖 PREP – DRY RANCH SEASONING MIX
Most Ranch dry packets are loaded with more chemicals than actual ingredients…its kinda scary actually.

I have tried numerous recipes before and never really found one that I liked or I felt tasted like Hidden Valley Ranch. So I decided to look up the ingredients in a HVR pack and see if I could adapt one of the common recipes online or combine a couple to give me something close.

This is what I have come up with. I will say that it may be a little strong for some people but because autoimmune issues have killed my taste buds to a certain degree I tend to prefer stronger seasonings.

This is the ingredients of the HVR No MSG packet – first ingredient – Salt and then further down is Sugar which I’ve never seen in the recipes I was trying before. Most recipes add a tiny amount of salt – ¼tsp maybe and no sugar which is healthier but makes a big difference in taste I think. The other varieties don’t have sugar but do have MSG… just a hot mess no matter how you look at it.

This is the recipe I adapted…
https://www.thecookierookie.com/homemade-ranch-seasoning-mix-copycat-hidden-valley-ranch/

What I am trying:
½c Buttermilk Powder
3tbsp Dried Parsley
1tbsp Onion Powder
1tbsp Garlic Powder
1tbsp Minced Onion
½tbsp Dill
½tbsp Dried Chives
2tsp Salt
2tsp Sugar
½tsp Pepper
Made 18tbsp at 20 calories / ea

Most recipes call for some combination of milk, mayo, sour cream and/or yogurt to make into a dressing.

RESULTS
I experimented with several variations and it is just a 🚫 HARD PASS 🚫 all the way around.  It tastes nothing like HVR.  It will be a good general flavor dry mix but definitely not something to eat as a dressing – blech!

You try it out according to the actual recipe… Maybe it is just my tastebud issues! 👅

I am freezing it minus the dairy and toppings. I discovered I am not a fan of dairy reheated like that as it tends to change texture when frozen. When I reheat, I will add the cream cheese / yogurt, lime juice, avocado, peppers and chips.

The Kroger ad changes on Wed so I went to town to get some things on sale… Juice, toilet paper, a certain yogurt, potatoes… 🤣… you know, the usual. Well they were out of the juice, yogurt and the toilet paper so I’ll have to go back next week before it changes. I did get some other cool stuff though.

Frugal Finds Healthy Haul video here:

Tracy, my cousin, wasn’t feeling well so after shopping (and catching up with a friend I haven’t seen in ages) I had dinner out at Tampico …

🌵 MIXED FAJITA PLATE (TAMPICO RESTAURANT)
I had dinner at my favorite Mexi place (Steak, Chicken & Shrimp 🌯 Fajitas)

I should have remembered I never eat it all and when I pretracked I counted the entire meal… Welllllllll I only ate some of it – the rice, beans and the shrimp they don’t reheat well, and ended up with more than 500 calories left.

I have been very lucky eating here – as long as I don’t eat the salsa (Calcium Chloride), I have had no trouble here.

It’s like seafood from Peking House – there may be MSG in some things but I don’t react to that and have no reactions eating there.

🍱 FREEZER MEAL PREP | 🐔 CHKN & DUMPLINGS | 🥣 BEEF STEW & SANDWICH

DAILY MEAL HIGHLIGHTS
🌞 Good morning 🌞 gentle friends!
Let’s get this day started…

———————

🍱 FREEZER MEAL PREP DAY 2 + 👩🏻‍🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY
If you saw my “Where Have I Been?” video:

… you’ll be all caught up but the gist of the last week is this…

I had a really rough week both physically and emotionally where I basically ate either a SmartOne frozen meal, a can of soup or a can of chili beans every day. Nothing to show you.

I didn’t cook and I didn’t make wise food choices from a food reactivity standpoint. Between weather changes, stress and eating far more processed stuff than normal… I currently have an +11.6lb inflammation gain.

So part of getting back into the swing of things is to prep a bunch of meals I could freeze so that if I am hurting, I can pull one out and know what I’m eating fits what I need to be doing.

Today was Day 2 of prepping and I had decided to make enough to take Sandy some of everything so she will have plenty to choose from.

Here’s the PREP LIST and recipes I based them on:

IP Pork Stroganoff ✅
https://whatsinthepan.com/instant-pot-pork-stroganoff/#recipe

IP Garlic Honey Lime Pork ✅
https://kristineskitchenblog.com/instant-pot-pork-tenderloin
https://www.stockpilingmoms.com/slow-cooker-honey-lime-ginger-pork

IP Chicken n Dumplings ✅

IP Corned Beef (sandwiches, cabbage rolls) ✅
https://www.willcookforsmiles.com/instant-pot-corned-beef

IP Beef & Veggie Stew ✅
https://amindfullmom.com/instant-pot-beef-stew

IP Cheeseburger Chili Mac ✅
https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/instant-pot-chili-mac/#wprm-recipe-container-31958

Egg Salad ✅
https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/classic-egg-salad.html#tabrecipe

Cucumber Salad ✅
Tangy Mustard – https://www.inspiredtaste.net/23150/tangy-cucumber-salad-recipe/#itr-recipe-23150

Asian Style – https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/asian-cucumber-salad/#wprm-recipe-container-39605

I still have a few things to do but the biggest part of it is complete.
