holy salty! my foray into america's processed foods

i love salt. i love chips. i love beef. i love anything that can be doused in a whirl of french sea salt. happy!

however, even i have limits. and in a rare foray into heavily processed foods, i have found myself shrivelling at an alarming rate because of our dinner tonight. it is not my fault that i was seduced by the tidy display of stovetop stuffing and cream of mushroom soup -- reduced sodium. it's the holidays. i think about food even more. so ... i made some sort of casserole-ish thing with chicken breasts and broccoli and stuffing.

i salt my chicken. i always do. mistake number one.
i cooked my broccoli in water and cream of mushroom soup. mistake number two.
i added the stuffing. which i think also has salt. mistake number three.

result? the salt lick of all meals. i am SO GLAD we don't have high blood pressure.

SIDENOTE: check out trader joe's peppermint candy joe-joe's! they taste like girl scout thin mints that look like oreos with delightfully pink-and-white-peppered cream filling. deelish.
