Chicken and Broccoli Rice Bowl

Chicken and broccoli rice bowl (out of the bowl), sauteed butter and thyme mushrooms, and a salad. The mushrooms were fantastic but I felt they were too fancy to be paired with the rice dish as suggested by the magazine. The rice dish was really good and super fast too. It just wasn’t fancy. For dessert we had cherry blossom pudding Aya’s mom sent us, complete with an actual cherry blossom in the pudding. I’m not sure what cherry blossoms taste like, but it was gooo-oood!

Chicken and Sausage Stew

Finally getting back to my standard Cooking Light recipes. It had been too long. This was pretty straight forward. It had a jambalaya feel to it, but it was more of a dumbed down version of it. The main sauce is made by combining jar pasta sauce and chicken broth. This definitely tasted good, but it didn’t leave me raving.

Chicken Salad w/ Candied Walnuts and Blue Cheese

For being just a salad, there was a lot to chew on with this. Literally. Between the dried cranberries, candied walnuts, blue cheese, hard boiled egg, and chicken, it was hard to get bored with this.

Avgolemono Soup

Wow, this was really good. I picked it because I had all the ingredients on hand but I never heard of avgolemono before. But after my first bite I realized that it’s lemon rice soup. This was simple and really good. It would have been nice to garnish with fresh herbs instead of dried, but I was being thrifty.

Chili w/ Chipotle and Chocolate

Chili w/ chipotle and chocolate, and a side salad. This is the second chili recipe of the month. This one had chocolate and you could really taste it which gave it a unique flavor. There wasn’t much prep involved either which helped.
