But back to where I started, tonight's supper menu. In my freezer, I found a package of frozen chicken tenders, just five of them, but you could easily substitute half of a chicken breast or more. Some frozen veggies. In my cupboard I knew I had a can of celery soup and some chicken broth and some rice. I've been meaning to try cooking rice in soup for ages, but never had yet, so here was the perfect time to do that. A little browned chicken, some soup and chicken broth, some rice and a few frozen mixed veggies. Not exactly reinventing the wheel, I know, but hey, I'm easy to please. Voila`! Dinner was served with a minimum of work and no sweat at all. Cooked in one pot. And for dessert I used up the rest of the peanut butter cookie dough from night before last, making giant cookies.
I like simple food, simply cooked, using things that don't require special ingredients not normally found in my kitchen. That makes any recipe I can find or create with five ingredients or less in it just my cup of tea. How about you? I would love to hear some of your classics.
