  • Last night I made five spice sweet and sticky broccoli over a little bit of brown rice: https://www.lesauce.com/2010/05/sweet-and-sticky-five-spice-broccoli.html and served it with a little salmon. Took me 15 minutes start to finish. And it was delicious.

     

    Another new super fast favorite is Kimchi Fried Rice. Apparently this is like bachelor/student food in Korea but it's healthy. I just make up two cups of brown rice ahead of time, keep it in the fridge, get a jar of kimchi from the farmers market, and you basically just fry it all in the pan and top it with an egg and some gojuchang. SO GOOD.  https://www.apricosa.com/2012/01/kimchi-fried-rice.html

    And a go-to which you would not think is fast but it really is if you are on top of roasting the spaghetti squash, is Shrimp in Chipotle Cream sauce which I serve over the spaghetti squash. It gives me the happiness of a big bowl of creamy spicy noodles without the calories:  https://tasty-yummies.com/2011/04/08/camarones-en-crema-de-chipotle-shrimp-in-chipotle-cream-sauce/

  • Shrimp in a butter lemon sauce.

    Saute garlic in butter and olive oil, add shrimp. cook until almost done add lemon. I usually add wine as well if I want a little kick I add crushed red pepper. Simmer and reduce slightly. Pour over any pasta.

  • I miss broccoli! It makes Lucas so gassy I don't eat it. I wish dh liked sea food the shrimp all sounds great.

    Cheesy chicken and rice in crock pot! Recipe please :

    1-2 pounds chicken (depending on how much you want) cubed

    Zatarans yellow rice (cooked to instructions on box) 

    1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

    1 - 16 ox bag frozen corn

    2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

    Throw all into crock, cook Low 2-4 hours

    Easy Peasy -- chicken goes in raw, and I suggest 2-3 hours, otherwise the soup starts to burn onto side of crock...  

    Edited: I lied... sorry... don't put cheese in at the beginning!  Add it after 2-4 hours, let melt, then serve.

    Pull pork recipe, please.

    6 boneless center cut chops
    1/2 cup water
    Spices-I used a southwestern spice mix and fresh ground black pepper on the chops before putting them in the slow cooker 
    Sliced onions
    ~Half bottle BBQ sauce of choice 


    Instructions:
    Pour water and some BBQ sauce into slow cooker, stir well. 
    Place one layer of chops inside slow cooker. Mine allowed for three across. 
    Put some sauce and onions on top of first layer, then add another layer of chops followed by more onions and sauce. I set mine to cook on low for 7 hours. 

    At the end of the 7 hours, use a slotted spoon and transfer half of the cooked chops into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a flat beater. Mix on low until the pork is shredded to the level you want. Transfer shredded pork into another bowl and shred the remaining chops. 

    The end result will need saucing. 
    This part actually works great because while the shredded pork does have flavor without adding sauce, this gives everyone at the table the option of adding the kind of sauce they prefer. 

    *** I have not tried this yet***

    FYI: Using 6 pork chops will yield A LOT of pulled pork. If you have a small family or don't want leftovers, I'd do half.
