To be completely honest, even though TonyR eats the brownies from the recipe in Falisamarie's thread (referenced above), I wasn't AT ALL impressed enough to commit almost 2 day's worth of packets to it. There are just too many other yummy things to choose from that don't take the resources NOR the work. (If, however, they're your thing, no offense intended.)
So, I went to bed pondering it and woke up this morning determined. We're hitting the road in the McClelland Party Van in some hours for a 2-week road trip, and I thought some brownies along for the ride might be nice. (There are just so many RTDs a girl can have in a row! We have other things with us, but RTDs will be our staple.)
So here's what's in the oven at the moment (with fingers crossed!):
1 pkt oatmeal (I used Apple Cinnamon; I think next time I'll use the Maple and Brown Sugar one)
1 pkt scrambled eggs (these weren't available when the first recipe came out)
2 pkts choco puddin
1 1/2 c water
2 pkts Splenda
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/2 t vanilla
(What I didn't have and REALLY think it needs is 1 T cocoa powder)
I didn't use any oil -- I didn't think they needed it. However, I'm not a chef, never even took Home Ec, so if someone corrects this, no offense taken.
They're in an 8x8 pan, sprayed with non-stick stuff and in the oven at 350. I forgot to set a timer, but I'm checking the center with a toothpick. So far, I don't think 15 minutes is nearly long enough.
1/4 of a pan is a Medimeal. This batch, then, makes 4 meals (note the 4 packets used in the recipe...).
When we have an opportunity on the road, we'll post our impressions.
Here's to our mutual success!
