Mushroom Pesto Pasta

This one I just tried today.  It was so tasty and so easy I thought it’d be a good one to throw in here.

You will need:

two cups cooked pasta, any kind,

one heaping tablespoon of butter or margarine

One can of cream of mushroom soup, straight from a can,

half a tablespoon of pesto sauce,

half a tablespoon of minced garlic

pinch of salt and pepper to taste

     Cook the pasta as usual, either drain the water or simmer your pasta until most of the water evaporates, add butter or margarine, cream of mushroom soup from a can, add pesto, minced garlic, salt and pepper, simmer it for five minutes, or as needed (until it’s hot).  Serve.  You can tweak this if you want according to your taste. 

Holiday Meal Idea

The holidays are fast approaching and maybe some of you will be eating them alone as I often am.  Nothing tragic or sad about it.  It can even be a plus.  It reduces holiday stress.  Anyhow, here’s one of my go-to ideas: instant mashed potatoes with canned chicken and vegetables.  Or you could use ham.  Sometimes I use chicken, sometimes ham.  My go-to vegetables are corn and green beans.  But mostly corn for mashed potatoes.  You can use your imagination or follow these ideas.  It’s up to you.  But having some ideas already ‘on the table’ for you might make meal times easier for you.  At least that is my wish.

Chicken Nuggets

You don’t have to make your own. You can buy them in the store. Here you can buy them in the frozen section. Some stores may be more expensive. I like to use bargain stores. It would be beyond me to make them. Even easy ones. For me, I like to just buy them already made and pop them in the air fryer.

You can use your favourite dip or throw stuff on it. I like to put stuff like garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, butter, and lemon. It might sound weird but I love it.

Do any of you like weird food? Or am I the only one. Please leave a comment below.

Thank you for all the likes so far. It really encourages me to keep going.

Veggies And Dip

You can cut or buy precut veggies, and buy your favourite dip.

Remember, you can leave comments in the comment section below if you have any of your own ideas to add. I may even use them in a future post.

Also a reminder, on the home page and on the search page there are links to search, and find your own ideas if none of mine work for you. There’s Youtube, Instagram, and Pinterest. If there are other platforms you would prefer, please let me know. Thank you.

More Ideas

Here are a few more ideas: a bowl of cereal, it doesn’t have to be just for breakfast. Would it be tragedy if you had cereal for lunch, or for supper? Carnation instant breakfast (you can order it from Amazon if you can’t buy it in your local stores.).
