Cookbooks (was Re: [Rhodes22-list] Cooking)

We also like to keep it simple when cooking using prep ideas like those 
mentioned by Anne. In the heat of the summer a cold meal is not so bad. We 
buy one of those already cooked roasted chickens available at just about any 
grocery store. The day before I carve meat off and place in zip lock. We 
have a second zip lock with salad mix (don't add tomatoes ahead of time). 
Dinner is salad with chicken on top, left over chicken is sandwiches for 
next day.

We love Fiatas but again we like to keep it simple. I grill veggies and 
boneless chicken breast before hand (I don't have a grill for boat) and 
place in separate zip locks and freeze the chicken. When we are ready to eat 
I heat chicken in pan than add veggies. Wrap in tortillas than eat.

In cooler weather we have brought homemade soups or stew, heat up in one 
pot, very easy. I have my old camping percolator for coffee in the morning. 
Breakfast is fruit and/or cereal. Usually we just pull anchor in the morning 
and head to a marina for breakfast, this also provides opportunity to use a 
real head (very important in the morning!).
