Do all y'all moms NOT make HH once in awhile? Do most people really find it as disgusting as these Peas say they do?! I am FLABBERGASTED.

Seriously, my mom would make this for us growing up maybe once every couple months. When I was married before, I made it likely twice a month! I :wub: the Cheeseburger Macaroni kind bigtime.

BF likes it, too, but as it isn't the healthiest thing you can eat, neither one of us has bought it in awhile, but still... my heart goes on for HH, y'know?

Maybe I am just cracked out and everyone hates HH and I just never knew?! Is this just one of those Pea threads where everyone secretly DOES love it, but no one wants to seem like a bad mom so they all cover their butts and say the right thing?! Where's my online decoder ring when I need it?!

Educate me, gurlies!!
 
lol we don't do HH here... well 1) I don't eat meat and 2) all of those things have stuff in them monkey can't eat :D :D BUT it doesn't make you a bad mom to eat it LOL.. you're feeding your kids right? :D And they LIKE it.. that's the MOST important thing :D
 
My ex liked it, and my current husband would eat anything, but I don't like HH. I'm not sure if my kids would eat it, probably so. But I'm not sure they've ever had it. :p
 
My mom made it once when we were kids, and we all got horribly sick (which I'm sure was not from the HH, but probably the meat). Still, we never wanted to eat it again!

Lauren's right though -- it doesn't make you a bad mom if you make it! My kids like Spaghettios and they're allowed to have them for the occasional meal. Easy food is important sometimes!
 
wow. i make HH once week sometimes, lol:o I dont' like all of them; its usually only a couple of them that i buy. we eat the tuna helper too, though not as much. but when i make HH, i add stuff to it like more cheese or onions or sour cream. its much better, trust me. some of them are not bad! my kids eat it so it cant be. they are picky eaters. i prefer to eat other things, but when i don't feel like cooking a big meal, its HH to the rescue!
 
shoot I'm not ashamed to chime in, lol. I used to LIVE off the stuff. Especially when I was a very young single mom. I must say we don't have it as often now but my kids do ask for it on occasion. The only ones we do are Cheeseburger Macaroni or Stroganoff. they're certainly not 5 star cuisine but I see nothing wrong with them. No secret decoder ring here either I guess. :P
 
^oh, the Cheesburger Macaroni one is our fave. i put extra Mac 'n Cheese in it (kinda have to, one box of HH is not enough for 3 kids and DH and i, lol) or onions and its really good. the stroganoff is another good one. i hate the lasagna one or the beef-aoni ones though. yuck.
 
I'll speak up in favor of HH!!!

I don't make it often, but if you look in my cupboard there is definitly a box or 2 for those nights when I need a last minute dinner (because I've played online to long :p). I make it with either ground chicken or ground turkey so that helps "healthy" it up. :D Plus I figure it's gotta be better then McDonal's or Burger King!!! :thumbup:
 
LMAO... I'm not afraid to admit that I make it on occassion. Typically I use turkey burger with it and add in extra noodles.

I also really like the mexican ones, that are rice, not noodles. I've done these as a quick lunch for myself at times.
 
I suspect that a lot of it just depends on your taste and what you've grown up with. I'm Chinese and grew up with 1st-generation immigrant Chinese parents so I don't think I ever tasted HH until I was an adult. I don't hate it but there are just some other meals that I find easier/quicker to make for my DD (6yo) and I so I haven't really felt a need to buy HH (not to mention my DD doesn't like cheese so that would rule out quite a few of the HH varieties) On the other hand, my DD loves ramen noodles and loves having Cup of Noodles for a snack so even though those things aren't that good for you, I'll let her have it sometimes.

Aww, thanks, gurls. I feel much better! I'm glad there are some other HH lovahs out there. I hate feeling like the last person picked for dodgeball. :p

[Not that I ever would willingly PLAY dodgeball, but it was always nice not to be chosen LAST. Tip: stand in the back. Don't reach out for a ball. Do this until 5-6 people have been picked off your team. You don't want to be the very FIRST one picked off. Then edge off the wall, pretend to be reaching out for a ball, and 'accidentally' fall into one being thrown your way. Happily sit on the sidelines until the game is finished. Repeat until gym is over for the day.]
 
I do my own spins on HH. But there's certainly nothing wrong with it. Better than eating JUNK for dinner!

One of our recents favs is to cook ground beef (we've got OODLES of it), and then pour some marinara sauce over it and eat it with tostito's chips (or fritos when I'm having a "I don't give a damn if fritos are unhealthy and I'm on a diet" week). I also like to do ground beef wtih taco seasonings and pour salsa and cheese on top. Mmmm mmmm good!
 
We have it on occasion around here, usually on Wes's night to cook LOL! I actually really like it, but I love just about anything with hamburger in it period lol! I dont think its all that bad at all to feed your kids. We all do what we can and thinks best for our families.
 
we just had some last week! And when I was first married, at the tender age of 20 - that was gourmet cooking for me! LOL
 
DH grew up on the stuff. Both his parents worked really long hours in their cabinet business and didn't have a lot of time to spend on dinner.
We used to eat it all the time when we were on a really tight budget(using ground turkey instead)but we cut all hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated foods and meals in a box so no more HH for us anymore. I used to love the Crunchy Taco one, though. It was my favorite.:thumbup:
 
I don't like them personally (I'm a very picky eater), but DH up until recently would make them 2x a week for the kids. Once we attempted eating a bit healthier, he cut them out.
 
My kids love the stroganoff one but I have not made it in a really long time. I would need to make 2 boxes every time because 1 box is not even enough for 4 kids....DS1 could probably eat the whole thing by himself!!! I think I still have a box or 2 in the pantry for emergencies.
 
i don't think I've had HH in years. Pretty sure my kids would not eat it. As a kid, I remember making Tuna Helper a lot.

Now Ramen is whole 'nother story. My kids love that.

I used to eat the dry ramen noodles with the seasoning packet sprinkled on. Anyone else?
 
i think it it hilarious that women try to seem posh about what they feed their families. we are all busy and we all need a quick fix if not most the time...all the time! hh is a godsend for families with stuff to do (ie. soccer, soccer, soccer, after school stuff, social outings, church stuff, school volunteering/commitee's, digiscrapping). right?!? i mean come on...

totally!!!:thumbup:
 
My sister and I used to do that with the ramen all the time. It's weird for me to call it ramen, though. In Hawai'i, everyone calls it saimin.

No kidding! I'm not ashamed to admit that although we don't do HH anymore, we usually have a box of these dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets that my kids love and Oreida french fries.
