    For sure, I can put up an option for a case amount (6 pack) onto the website.

    These meals are pretty high in sodium. The lowest chicken entree is 840 mg for the whole bag (56% of the recommended daily intake), and the highest is 3100 mg for the whole bag (206% of the recommended intake). That is quite a lot of sodium for one meal. I used to eat these occasionally when I was a hiking guide, most meals are very tasty.

    Ps: I am using Health Canada's recommendation of 1500 mg a day. They say up to 2300 mg is "tolerable."

    To prepare them you add a specified amount of boiling water, and wait a specified amount of time. The instructions come on each bag.

    Bingo!

    You can buy veggie side dishes. Sometimes I just throw it into the entire and add extra water.

    The single servings are too small on their own for a hungry man. I find the two serving ones leave me slightly over fed if I eat all of it on an average day.

    Stroganoff is my fav.

    Is it this brand that makes the Chilli Mac? That one is always good.
