New Project

Haven't blogged in a while. So I will attempt another recipe/eat at home challenge.

Monday (today) = Day 1, Week 1


Exceptions: Breakfast at the coffee shop. I work at 5am on many days. The idea of breakfast before I go is just out of the question.Christmas eve and Christmas day are also exceptions due to family get togethers, although both involve meals at someone's house so it's not really "eating out".

This project will end in 30 days.

Todays meals:

Breakfast: none
Lunch: Mac n Cheese; almonds
Dinner: Creamy Broccoli Chicken with Herbs (see below)

I tried a new recipe tonight from the back of my soup can and it was not an epic failure as I was worried it would be.

Here is the recipe

My alterations:
1) I only cooked the pasta to 3 minutes from being done and added it to the mix and brought to a low boil for 3-4 minutes.
2) I chopped up the chicken into cubes so it would cook faster and be more of a casserole than a piece of chicken on a bed of pasta.

This was a wonderful 1 dish meal and only took me about 1/2 an hour including thawing out the frozen broccoli and chicken, cooking the pasta and putting it all together.

I give it 4 spoons out of a possible 5!
