Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 In a similiar situation, I traveled with a rice cooker! A tasty dish can be made simply by adding fresh or dried herbs, seeds, and chopped nuts to either brown, wild, and/or white rices. Most of the ingredients can be blended together at home and placed in a zip-lock bag. When you are " in need " of the food item, add water and turn on the rice cooker. . .and a delicious meal will result. You can also keep in mind easy, convenient foods at the supermarket that you can pick up and take along with you to the family dinner (premade coleslaw or an herbal salad mix; a bag of frozen vegetables --- the fancy ones are nice) are always nice additions that seem to get eaten up quickly, even though they don't take hours to prepare. Side dishes like a jar of fancy pickles, olives, and pickled beets are also a welcome addition to most meals. Success to you! It's not easy. . .but I know you'll come up with something great. Let us know how it turns out. ~ LaDonna ~ >>>I'm traveling 12 hours to attend a family reunion. I will be staying in a hotel that has a microwave, so there won't be a way for me to " cook " . I need to find out if any of you have ideas about a dish I can take to the reunion that is easy and that I can actually eat. I grew up in a very Southern family, so I'm fairly certain that most dishes there I can't/won't eat. Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Thank you!! a cooler with ice. hummus & cornchips tomato salad (tomatoes, roasted peppers, etc, tinkayada brown rice pasta is nice, too... dress with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs) it will keep a day or two if you don't overdo the vinegar bean salad spiced nuts/popcorn My family reunion was the past weekend, but I didn't go.

Northern Mississippi, tiny little towns in Prentiss County (Old Tishie). ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
