I have eaten ramen for lunch several times a week since my baby was born. I think that's pretty much all that needs to be said.

That's seriously all I got.

Wait, do canned goods count? Like diced tomatoes? I have a lot of those.

[eb777888]

David eats processed foods. Sun Chips, Goldfish crackers, english muffins, Skinny Cow ice creams, Perdu chicken tenders. I think that's it. I mean, yogurt is processed, I guess.

H eats Amy's burritos, protein powder, ice cream. I don't eat many processed foods. I see some mentioned almond butter, I don't really consider that processed. I drink a shitload of La Croix and I do eat beef jerky. Oh, and almond milk. Apparently that is super processed from what I've read. Oh, and Kind bars and Larabars. 

eta: and oh shit, condiments. Mayo, mustard, honey mustard, soy sauce, sriracha, salsa, pickles, olives.... more, I'm sure. 

[janegold]

Does bread count? And H likes JIF peanut butter (i eat natural). I usually like to keep some protein bars on hand, too.

I think those are the only things we regularly buy, but we will certainly pick up Oreos or Cheez-its once in a while.

[ZoeHart]

DH eats a ton, especially cereal.
For myself I regularly buy veggie straws, Annie's Mac and cheese, and Ben & Jerry's. A lot of it.

[jane6672]

Define "processed."


Then, define "from scratch."

[snickers]

Probably 90% of the food in my house. oops

[rex]

if trader joe's makes it, I buy it.

I would say my h is the one who generally eats it though. I sometimes have a random TJs dinner.

I'm not against processed food it just so happens I don't really eat much of it.

oh! I do have those Starbucks iced coffee packets almost every day. and I assume soy milk counts as processed so I have that too in my coffee.

[cereal K]

Frozen French fries
Pizza rolls
Cheez-it's
Pita chips
Microwave popcorn
M&ms
Applesauce pouches
Annie's bunny Grahams
Frozen waffles/pancakes
Hot dogs
Lunch meat (Oscar Mayer carving board, specifically)

And other can goods, etc for cooking like tomatoes, rice, broth. This is just the snacks/shitty food list.

[Deleted]

I mean, we have a shit load of sauces and stuff. Ketchup, mustard, dressing...you get the point. Other than that I usually keep broth, goldfish crackers, some type of cereal, and canned tomatoes. Oh, and tuna. Lots of tuna.

[luckyval]

Chips/Pretzels
Fruit gummies
Instant Oatmeal
Granola Bars
Lance Crackers
Applesauce
Cheese

Yes.  I am not grinding my own wheat.  But, H often makes homemade falafel (from dried beans) or homemade gyro. 

That said, we also have a toddler.  He is all about nutrigrain bars, store-bought meatballs, puffs, pouches, etc.  '

We eat mainly "whole foods" for dinner.   For breakfast H and I usually eat nuts, hummus, veggies.  But, I also get free school lunch if I want it.  And...really...it's just easier sometimes.  My kid gets DC lunch. 

We don't buy a lot of things "in  a bag" like pastas, stir-fry, etc.  But, we aren't above it.  Life is hard and convenience food makes it easier.
