making a few things for the week ahead of time

So because we are going camping I am going to pre make some of our favorites up so that all I have to do is finish them before our meals.

POTATO SALAD  chop and boil the potatoes, boil the eggs, chopp 2 green onions
cool potatoes and eggs  unpeeled. I put everything in 1 bowl.
then when we are ready to eat I peel and chop the eggs, add salt and pepper and mayo.

PASTA SALAD  basically the same way, boil and cool the pasta put in a bowl, layer the veggies on top
cucumber,tomato,red onion (soaked and drained in 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 tbsp water 1/2 tsp sugar)
celery,shredded carrot
In a separate jar  1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup favorite vinegar ( I use cider) 2 tbsp honey,salt pepper, 1/2 orange juiced, 3 leaves fresh basil chopped.
shake and pour dressing over salad 30 mins before serving    enjoy

If its cool out I am going to make up a chicken noodle soup too

1 onion chopped
2 chicken breasts chopped  fried
7 cups chicken stock
3 carrots shredded
3 ribs celery chopped
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup shredded zucchini
pinch salt pepper
2 cups of elbow macaroni cooked  drained drizzle with oil  KEEP SEPARATE

fry the onions till clear add the chicken sprinkle on seasoning cook for 10 mins
add veggies
de-glaze pan with 1/2 cup chicken stock stir and cook 15 mins
cool add the rest of the stock put in a non leaking bowl

you can heat it as you need it and add the noodles.  great way to warm you up and fill your belly.
my kids love it.
