Hello!!
Modify a One-dish Meal.
10 June 2010

The dish I'm modifying is the macaroni with minestrone soup I had for lunch on the third day.
The original dish had little vegetables as well as almost no meat.



Ingredients:
- 1 packet of instant minestrone soup
- 1 carrot (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 a lettuce (julienne* it)
- chicken breast meat
- 1 bowl of macaroni
- a pinch of salt
- a little vegetable oil

This dish is heathier as I added carrots and lettuce as well as chicken meat to the original dish. All of these were cooked rather healthily as well, using little oil or salt and the seasoning for the chicken (it was steamed) was minimal. The added vegetables and meat make it a more balanced meal as I had almost no meat during this dish previously.

I also used more macaroni to his time to increase my cardohydrates intake. This is good as I use a lot of energy per day and more carbohydrates would increase my energy level as well as help me grow taller.

I reduced to amount of vegetable oil used when cooking macaroni. This did not affect the taste of the dish at all as the tatse comes from the soup.

All in all, I felt that this was a very tasty meal.

Cheers!
