Ah, spring is in the air! So naturally, I’m thinking about….hurricane season! Yep, that’s right, as soon as it starts getting warm, the coastal waters start warming up and that means storm season is on its way!
Seriously, this year they are predicting a worse season that was predicted last year. Between Katrina and Rita, that doesn’t bode well for the Gulf Coast Region. Rita missed us by a hare’s breath, but we were without power for a while nonetheless.
So, I’ll start posting some recipes that can be made with shelf stable ingredients (no refrigeration) and cooked on a grill or camp stove. Nothing fancy for sure, but something other than spaghetti-out-of-a-can that will make the storm effected time a little more bearable.
These recipes are also good for camping and for “I haven’t been to the grocery but need to make dinner” times at home.
My nieces actually ask me to make this one for them when they come over!
Chicken and Dumplings
2 cans mixed vegetables, drained
1 can sliced mushroom
1 large can chicken
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 2/3 cups bisquick® baking mix
2/3 cup milk (use powered milk)
Pour all the cans into a large, lidded skillet. Keep the liquid from the mushrooms and chicken. Mix gently.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat. Mix Bisquick and milk to make dumpling batter. Drop small dumplings over the top of the soup-veggie mix.
When the soup starts bubbling, turn down the heat to medium low (about 3), cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Dumplings are done when you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.

Great! My sister lives in NOLA on a boat, so she's always on the look-out for more non-refrigerated recipes (especially for when they're on open water, since they don't want to run the generator for refrigeration). I'll pass this on to her.
