Many of you lost power on Friday!! Of course, it was in and around supper time.
So what do you do when you lose power?? What do you cook?
If you are a lucky person and own a BBQ, it makes cooking easy. The options are pretty much endless.
If not…it makes things a bit more challenging.
Thanks to Crisis Equipped. They shared a bunch of ideas/recipes for cooking without power.
Here’s a couple :
- Overnight oats
Oatmeal is one of the most nourishing kitchen staples. Mix the correct proportions of oats with water- it’s okay if the water is cold. Leave it overnight (covered) and add toppings to it the following morning. Some of my favorite toppings include fresh fruit (bananas and apples) and cinnamon. You can also add a dollop of almond or peanut butter for extra protein.
- Tacos
In a pinch, you can put together a nice taco filling using mostly canned goods. Open a can of chopped tomatoes, canned beans, canned corn, avocado (optional) and fresh cilantro (optional). Toss everything together with a zesty lime dressing: whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice with 2 tablespoons of a mild vinegar, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and garlic salt / pepper to taste. If you don’t have taco shells, eat it like a salad or with pita bread/ chips. - Tuna and bean salad
One of the best ways to add extra protein and sustenance to a plain tuna salad is with beans. A few of my favorite choices are white kidney beans, garbanzo beans and cannellini beans. Choose one of these options and mix it in with a can of tuna (drained), a little bit of chopped onion, lemon juice, olive oil, spices of your choice, and salt/ pepper- to taste. If you don’t have tuna, you can mix together different kinds of canned beans and make a bean salad.
