Welcome to Summer Cookin
As you may already know, I am starting a blog for young, college students who may not have very much experience in the kitchen. I have had the pleasure of living with great roommates who taught me a few things, and then living with new roommates who I could share my experiences with. Hopefully I can share some new dishes and easy preparations that can branch you away from ramen noodles and the campus "Russell House" cafeteria.
Okay, so we all remember the tiny, frozen chicken pot pies we used to microwave and eat. In fact, I know some of us still eat them. Why not? Pop one in the microwave, and 5 minutes : 30 seconds later you have an elementary-style lunch.Well, let's step it up a notch and take the familiar microwave meal to a new level.
All you will need:
- 1-2 cups of chicken or turkey
(depending on your preference and how much you like in your dish) - 2 cups of mixed vegetables (fresh, canned or thawed)
- 1 Cream of Chicken Soup can (Campbell's)
- 1 cup of an all-purpose baking mix
(or muffin mix for a cornbread covering) - 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 egg
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees before you get started preparing the dish.
- Use an 8in X 8in baking-friendly dish (something you would use for brownies:) to mix the veggies, the chicken or turkey and the can of soup
- In a seperate bowl, mix together the milk, the egg and the baking mix, and then pour it over the chicken and veggies in the baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is crispy brown.
This will make about 4-5 servings. If you may be eating alone because you got stood up or your roomies never came home, you can always freeze the rest for a late-later date or use tupperware until tomorrow.
That's it for my first posting. I really hope y'all try it and enjoy a great dinner! Keep coming back for updates and more tips, and I will try my best to impress you in the kitchen.
In the words and the voice of Julia Child - Bon Appétit!
