Couple easy, quick ideas for when on the road.
Always looking for easy recipes for on the road and tried this last night.
Make a grilled cheese sandwich using mozzarella cheese slices and pepperoni slices and dip into pizza sauce. It was really good. Serve with a small salad
Another one is take a can of family style cream of chicken soup, add broccoli, (about 12 oz) I used frozen and nuked it in the microwave.
Heat the soup, add the broccoli and a cup of milk, and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Very good.
If you ever buy those rotisserie chickens at Costco (I only buy them at Costco because they are $4.99 each and every where else they cost double) and have leftovers, but not enough to make a meal, make some chicken soup.
! cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of shredded chicken
1/4 thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup of small egg noodles*
1 T of green onions + 1 teasp
squeeze of lemon juice
I found some microwave bowls with handles and they hold about 2 1/2 cups. I cook the noodles and the carrots together in water in the microwave until the noodles look done. Drain off the water, add the broth, chicken, and tablespoon of chopped green onions, and heat for a minute or so in the microwave. Garnish with the rest of the green onion and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Makes one substantial serving
*In the Mexican food section of the grocery stores here on the west coast, you can find packets of tiny noodles, (alphabet, stars etc) for about $.50 a packet and that is what I use.
I have to mention I never measure anything and use what I have. I made the broccoli and cheese soup with cauliflower and had some leftover peas and added them to the chicken soup.
