Richmoor brand peas and carrots
1 packet
Richmoor brand dehydrated beef

five minutes start making the potato mix according to
directions in a separate pot. Drain water

top of potato mix or make pocket within the potatoes and pour
inside. Option: Take a half packet of brown gravy
mix (Knorr or McCormick brand) and stir into the beef, peas

bit too salty at times. Serves 2 medium portions or one
good hearty portion |

Couscous
with Pine Nuts
A
simple one pot meal made from a prepackaged mix
|

| Directions |
Boil 1.25 cups of water and pour
in seasoning mix and couscous. Remove from heat and let
stand covered. After 5 minutes fluff with fork and stir
in extra pine nuts. Let stand another 5 minutes
covered. I add in the extra pine nuts since there are so
few with the mix. It also adds extra protein. |
