Hey Laura - don't know how keen you are on cooking yourself, but this
is something you could try that is definitely core, and looks sorta
like the Lean Cuisine things. It would take a bit of effort on your
part initially, but once you have a bunch made up, you can just stick
them in the freezer and pretend...LOL I've made this dish twice, and
we both really like it. Sorry for the lack of measurements, but it's
pretty hard to screw up.

First you boil up some whole wheat spaghetti - use as much as you need
for however many servings you're going to make. I calculate about 1/2
cup cooked pasta per serving, and we've been experimenting with
different types - spelt, kamut - really good alternative to regular
whole wheat with a bit more texture and flavour. When it's cooked,
drain and toss with a teensy bit of olive oil. Add your fave herbs or
spices - we're garlic freaks so I won't even tell you how much I
add...lol

OK - so once you have the pasta cooked - lay out some sheets of
parchment paper on a baking sheet. About a one foot square per
serving. Place the cooked pasta in the center of the sheet. Top with a
serving-sized piece of your favourite fish (I've used both salmon and
haddock.) Spread a bit of dijon mustard on the top side of the fish.
Add a few asparagus tips to each serving and then top with julienned
pepper and zucchini strips.

Fold the parchment around the whole deal so it's all sealed up.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. If you don't like
asparagus on the crisp side you could parboil it first.

Now I would *think* that once this is cooked and cooled you could put
each packet in a freezer bag and store for future use.

It makes a very tasty and filling meal and is really easy to put
togethe AND it's Core.

As I understand the lit and my leader, If all the ingredients are core, then
it's core. I haven't had a chance to check out the other stuff, but the
salmon one is whole wheat pasta, spinach, carrots and salmon - all core.
After looking at the Australian selections, though, I feel jealous -
especially on the frozen soups!  If they can make them there, why can't they
make them HERE!!!!!
