Travel meal- chicken & veggies

For those times when you're starving in the grocery store and want the quickest meal possible. And you're sick of tuna. 

Another non-glamourous but safe travel meal.

Perdue Short Cuts Roasted Chicken and a bag of frozen veggies. Transfer to a microwave-safe vessel, sprinkle with some seasoning, nuke for a few minutes, and dinner is served. 

travel meal: chicken meatballs & brussels sprouts

Found something new while browsing Whole Foods today.

Amylu Chicken Meatballs.

Paired with brussels sprouts and a little bit of seasoning, heated up for a few minutes, it's not the worst thing I've eaten on the road.

frozen scrambled egg kits

We are not morning people. But we really like breakfast. Which means that most work mornings are rushed.

I created these to help streamline breakfast prep. Really all they are is ingredients that we like to put in scrambled eggs, divided into baggies and frozen.

These include:

onions

mushroom

peppers

sausage/ham

spinach/kale

I use the food processor to chop everything quickly, unless I'm in a meditative mood and then I chop by hand.

When we're ready for a hearty breakfast, we toss the contents of a frozen bag into a hot pan, let everything cook for a few minutes, then add eggs and scramble.

Ooh, I should add potato to the next batch.

Note: if you want to add cheese, wait until the very end.

travel meal: chicken on the mini griddle

My belly has been cranky lately. 

I didn't have an appetite today and needed something simple and easy to digest.

On the menu:

Chicken, brussels sprouts, rice, avocado.

Leftovers went onto salad greens for lunch tomorrow.

Ingredients:

thin chicken breasts (crucial for cooking on the mini griddle)

brussels sprouts

rice

avocado

olive oil

a punny chicken seasoning because even though the belly is cranky, I still need flavor and the puns got me.

I cooked the chicken on the griddle with a little bit of water to keep it moist, and took it off when it started to get smoky enough for me to worry that it would set off the hotel smoke detectors. 

The sprouts and rice went into the microwave with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

I've eaten way worse on the road.

travel dinner: Mediterranean snacks

Felt a little snacky for dinner.

Hummus, veggies, crackers, & dolmas... yum. I need to learn how to make those.

Basically grabbed anything from the deli section that looked good.

travel meal: burrito bowl

Today's travel meal:

Frozen Healthy Choice Unwrapped Burrito Bowl, salad greens, cooked chicken, avocado, & chips. Made enough for 2 meals.

It would have been better if it had salsa.

Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour

Usually I use my own flour blend, but I was in a pinch and acquired a bag of Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour.

I made a few of my normal recipes with it, and each one of them turned out gummy. 

Looking at the ingredients list, the only thing I can think of is that it's too high of a starch ratio? Also, I read reviews online and there are lots of people who love it, so I'm not sure what's happening here.

All I know is that I'm not going to buy another bag because it did not work for me.
