I have a busy day today and since produce doesn’t get delivered til evening, the cupboards are near bare. I try to keep one or two quick mixes like Fantastic Foods Sloppy Joe Mix around for days like this. Now on my way home from errands I can just pick up some buns and we ought to be good to go  for the main dish and I can steam anything for the side once my basket arrives.

I let Julia "cook" this last night before bath since it was basically open the box, dump the mix in bowl, add a can of Muir Glen tomato paste, add water, and stir. Then microwave for 6 minutes. She thought it was fun and walked off to Paul to announce, "I cookin’ sloppy joe!"

Given that none of us have ever had this mix before it was funny.

This morning when I got up she was still snoring so I diced and sauteed 1 cup each of organic green pepper (the last one from last delivery, getting all wrinkly) and 1 cup of onion. Helps boost the mix up to about 4 cups.
