Also you make a paste with cornflour to thicken it up. EASY.<br /><br />Also super easy is drumsticks wrapped in bacon - wrap drumsticks with bacon, line tray with foil and arrange chicken - cook at 190 Cels. for 25 mins - no need to salt!!

You can put anything on spaghetti, the key is to mix the spaghetti and whatever goes on it in a warm pan before plating.<br /><br />Ooo and bagels. We slice then freeze them when we get them.Mariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292158433335471066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-47841836491398332522010-11-11T19:20:57.193-07:002010-11-11T19:20:57.193-07:00Here is my Faviorate Recipe my Mother-in Law gave ...Here is my Faviorate Recipe my Mother-in Law gave me •<br />15 Minute Meatloaf Muffins- and it is great to hid Veggies and to save for a later time<br />1 egg<br />1 lbs.

(There are some things that a wife can only try to change. This has been an on-going "battle" for 35 years.)<br /><br />Canned soups, chili, plain beans, and canned meats and fish are always in the pantry for lunches and emergency rations.<br /><br />Lately, we have been eating out too much - pizza, deli chicken, hamburgers, Chinese, Mexican. With everything that has gone on this year, cooking and cleaning are things that I don't even want to think about.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-35014882330980794972010-11-11T08:37:40.484-07:002010-11-11T08:37:40.484-07:00Grocery store rotisserie chicken.. so many uses......Grocery store rotisserie chicken.. so many uses...P1 Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611271291061001025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-27725301013525565572010-11-10T22:34:48.746-07:002010-11-10T22:34:48.746-07:00When I think of convenience foods I think of takea...When I think of convenience foods I think of takeaway or food that you buy - probably because of (dairy-like) convenience stores. But I think what you mean is quick and easily made up foods/meals - I refer to these as my "default meals".<br /><br />Can't think of any 5-10 min meals really - perhaps a microwave stir-fry?
