In Nicki World, there isn’t a lot of cooking going on that doesn’t start from a box. Hamburger Helper is frequently about as far as we extend ourselves. Frozen dinners in bags are my friend.
Tonight was an exception. When I was a child, my parents made this really awesome soup. Cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions (yuck), and kielbasa sausage, all boiled together with maybe a bit of salt and other random Parent Ingredients.
My favorite parts, of course, were the carrots, potatoes and sausage (especially the sausage). Which is why my Boiled Dinner Remix is a bit…scant on the ingredients. Here’s what we had for dinner tonight.
1 bag baby carrots
1 kielbasa sausage
1 box instant riceBoil carrots and sausage. Make rice according to directions on package. Serve carrots and sausage over rice.
While it was pretty, and DH thanked me for making supper, he did say it was rather bland. Well, that’s probably because I’m not much of a cook. There wasn’t any salt or butter to be found anywhere near the stuff. Seasoning has never been my strong suit. Either too much, or not enough, as in this case.
Maybe next time if I add some salt…
