that's what mom has said is ok in her kitchen. it's mostly about smell, i think. I'm not talking a whole frozen chicken, here. I'm talking chicken patties or nuggets - precooked, breaded, basically just reheating them, or you can stick them in the microwave. we tried grilling stuff this summer, like pull the grill out one night and cook enough meat for the week so we could just reheat it. but the smell of it reheating and even just the thought of it being in the fridge / cooking in the stove, etc was really making mom sick. i'm not sure why the nuggets and fish sticks don't bother her so much, if they don't look as much like meat, don't smell as much, or what... but that's the way it is.

dairy is fine. we can (and do) do beans, but dh is of the opinion that we tend to go somewhat overboard on them... they do not agree with his digestive system so well... so having other options available is .

Default Re: convenience cooking

what about tofu?

so that tortilla soup would work without chicken. if you add more corn and more cheese/sour cream, it would be pretty filling too. you could also throw in some pasta or rice. all the seasoning comes from the enchilada sauce and rotel, so it's actually really tasty. i get complements which i at because usually i have just opened like 5 cans of different stuff.....

tofu, we do use some, i think... mostly if jimi can sneak it in without me noticing. I'm not a huge fan. oh, jimi likes to use seitan, too, sometimes. i don't like sour cream, but we could add cheese, rice, corn...

oh, those biscuit rollouts - do you make them like a little cup with filling? or do you put dough over the top too so the filling is all contained? sounds like our cheeseburger pie in miniature and diversified. yum!
I made the biscuits from flour and milk and butter and such, but here is the original recipe that calls for the convenience biscuits and yes, it was VERY yum! Mine didn't fold over and it didn't make any difference.

ETA: I used the drizzle of honey instad of the cheese. I bet it's good both ways.

seitan is a vegetarian protein... i don't know much more about it, actually, i guess it's something he used when he was cooking at whole foods.

Default Re: convenience cooking

Ah, I see. Hmmm. Is there any way that you could spend an evening at a friend's house and cook a couple of large meals? If you have some freezer containers, you can freeze them for during the week. Heating up a finished casserole or soup may disguise whatever meat may be in it. Although if the thought of it in her house makes her sick... I'm not sure what to advise. Tough situation. ((hugs))

I'm not sure there'd even be room in the freezer anyway... for now we just do a lot of vegetarian cooking. I probably should get more recipes using eggs - we do use those a lot of omelettes, scrambled eggs w/ veggies, filler for burritos, etc, but more ways to use them would probably be good.

hashbrown casserole...

layer frozen hashbrowns along bottom of 13x9 baking dish.
layer with cheese, green onions, canned green chilis for some kick.
whisk 6 eggs. pour egg mixture over hashbrowns.

bake until cooked through in 375 oven (so a fork comes out clean in middle).
