Today I am making Microwaveable Chicken and Rice Casserole, with plans of dividing it into two portions and freezing half for use later. The recipe makes enough for at least four people, so it is more then Mom and I will eat today.
Ingredients:
4 cups of cooked white or brown rice
1 14 oz. can clear chicken broth
1 14.5 oz. can sliced carrots
1 14.25 oz. can whole kernel sweet corn
1 14.5 oz. can cut green beans
1 12.5 oz. can fully cooked chunked chicken in water
½ cup of your favorite cheese grated (if you want more cheese add 1 cup)
Directions:
Step 1: Cook the rice. You may want to cook the rice the night before and let it sit in the refrigerator over night.
Step 2: In a medium to large microwavable casserole dish combine the rice with the chicken broth. Stir until the well mixed.
Step 3: Open cans of carrots, corn, and green beans. Drain the water off the vegetables. Stir the vegetables into the rice and broth mixture.
Step 4: Open the can of chicken. If you want to drain the water off the chicken, go ahead. Sometime I drain the chicken and at other times, I mix in the chicken without draining off the water.
Step 5: Place the lid on the casserole dish and put it in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Step 6: If you are making this dish for one or two people divide the contents for freezing.
Step 7: Place the casserole in the microwave to cook or rather to heat. Since the ingredients have all ready been cooked, the only thing you have to do is heat it up, which takes about five or more minutes depending on the microwave oven and whether or not you add grated cheese to the dish.
Step 8: While the ingredients are still hot, stir in the grated cheese. The cheese should melt into the hot ingredients.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this with a green salad of some type. You can buy salad ingredients already mixed at the grocery store.

It's Saturday again

I have encountered both successes and failures in the past week and in January. The failure teach lessons, which later successes are based on. I'm still thanking about the lessons I've learned this week and month. One f the most important is to look for the answers to prayers. Never presume that a prayer isn't answered simply because you don't get the answer you want I think I've encountered the before, but I seem to forget the lesson periodically and have to be taught it again.
Now to the success and thing's I've never did before. I had a peanut butter cookie mix I needed to make this past week, but my oven isn't working. I mixed the dough and fixed it in the Microwave. I fixed it as a cake rather then cookies and it turned out well. I enjoyed fixing the mix and figuring out how to get it to work in the Microwave, especially since I didn't have a proper cookie sheet for that oven. I think fixing the cookies the way I did was an interesting success.
Well, it's Saturday again,
January 2008 is almost at an end.

I did it I Baked a Cake in a Microwave

I finally did it, I baked a cake in a Microwave. It took ten minutes to bake the cake. I used a packaged cake mix, rather then baking it from scratch. The cake was a little dry, but I think that was because of the mix and not baking it in a Microwave. Other then being dry, the cake tasted all right.
I have another cake mix and a pumpkin bread kit in the cupboard. I also have peanut butter cookie mix in the fridge. I'm not sure what I'll try next, maybe the cookies and maybe the pumpkin bread kit. I like using a Microwave because it doesn't take long and I can get back to something else quickly.
I'm not sure what my grandmother would say about using a Microwave to bake a cake. She made her cakes from scratch most of the time, but sometimes she would buy a prepackaged cake mix. She would probably approve, she always liked to try the latest technology.
