Default Food in (from) a box!

So I have been watching what I eat for a few months now and it is going really well. I do it in 12 day cycles with two days in between to eat whatever I want. Seems to work for me.

Whenever day 12 comes up, I naturally start daydreaming about what I am going to eat, and without fail, the first thing is always Hamburger Helper. In particular, the Cheesy Enchilada version with rice and Old El Paso seasoning. Its my crystal meth. I cannot say no to that chemical artificial goodness in a box.

What are your guys/girls favourite food in a box?

For me, it's gotta be KD! Though my wife and I have switched to an "organic" version that tastes just as cheesy and fake, that they sell at our local organic co-op. Cheesy AND natural!

Though I have no idea how cheese sauce that comes from a powder CAN be natural. It just makes no sense.

MMMM. I'm also a big fan of hamburger helper (haven't had it in a while though, maybe tonight), but I stay away from the cheesey ones. I'm more of a lasagna man.

If you like mexican flavoured stuff and rice instead of noodles, give the Enchilada one a try. Its awesome.

And KD with hot dogs chopped up and a Kraft single melted into it rules as well.

The rich-man's KD -- Velveeta Shells and Cheese -- is pretty tasty. Forget that powder, this stuff comes with a foil sack of liquid cheese.

Oh sure, you can feel your arteries clogging as you eat it, but that's okay.

KD for sure...sometimes with veggies in it or chopped onions...It would be the poor mans version to Rouges rich man style.
I also like using salsa as opposed to ketchup with it.

Yeah, we have 2 names for that place. One guy calls it "Sludge", and the rest of us just call it B & B; short for Bones and Batter.

Pretty much all cereal is good .. unless it starts with "BRAN" .. then it's just good FOR you (Raisin Bran is ok I guess)

I generally dislike all cereal, but I love Oatmeal Crisp. The Raisin and Almond variety. Strange.

Ice Cream could be a whole new thread for me. I have serious issues when it comes to ice cream.
