I decided I needed to finally pull out some of the amazing gifts we have been recieving. I decided on the rice cooker/vegetable cooker I got at my shower.
Let me just say, I love this thing!!
I cooked brown rice in it, which takes 50 minutes.
While that was simmering away I chopped up some veggies we had in the fridge-asparagus, zucchini & mushrooms (I chopped up spinach too but forgot to put it in). You can do this with any veggies, these are just the ones we had kicking around.
Here's me chopping!
This was going to be a vegetarian dish, but while the rice was cooking I found some taco beef already made in the freezer. I love taco beef so I'll make up a big batch and section it off and throw some in the freezer (esp since there is only 2 of us).
15 minutes before the rice was to be done, I threw in some veggies in there around the rice container.
Once everything was done, cooked and hot, I threw it all together, mixed in sweet chili sauce and added some cheese on top!
Then I remembered I wanted to put fresh tomoatoes on top.
And that was dinner! It was so, soooo good! Gareth and I really enjoyed it. I finally had to take the bowl away from Gareth so he would have enough for lunch today.
A few notes:
I was going to use salsa but we didn't have enough. But the sweet chili was so good!
You can do this with plain ol pots and it will taste just as yummy!
I think I'll start posting meals every once in a while! It's fun!
So there is one of my intentions, I cooked a good meal! The presentation wasn't the fanciest, but I used our prettiest bowl.
My friend from work and I walked at lunch again, which was so nice! And I had a good night's sleep.
I have been thinking about some things that sprung to mind when I was wacthing Sex and the City last night (love!) which I'm going to write about. Hopefully I'll post it today!
Have a wonderful day!
