Arroz con Pollo

It was my first attempt. I believe that it was successful. The chicken was tender and rice was cooked throughout. Have you ever made Arroz con Pollo (Rice with Chicken) ? What are your secrets? I also made my sofrito. I chose to add coconut milk and it came out delicious.

Tonight's Dinner

I went with a healthy meal tonight. Shockingly my 3yr old daughter even ate the okra.
I used Mahatma jasmine rice which was of course steamed in my Oster Rice Cooker. Then I steamed my frozen okra in coconut milk. I suppose this is the reason my daughter enjoyed it. My chicken drumettes were marinated in salt and pepper and a little garlic salt overnight.
Today I added cajun seasoning and curry powder. I sliced half a jalapeño, an onion and 3 gloves of garlic then mixed them with my drumettes. I baked the chicken on 350° for and hour without covering it.
And below are the results
Enjoy peeps

Sunday Meal

I found duck at my local Harris Teeter and I knew that I had to give it a try. The process was not the fastest meal option but yes it was deeelicious.
jurgielewicz duck was a great option for our family dinner. Aka me and my nugget lol we both loved it. I paired it with Mahatma jasmine rice which btw is my favorite of any jasmine rice brand that I have tried. Topped my duck with an orange marmalade sauce and steamed some brussel sprouts.
I would recommend both products.
The meal was a treat. Something I would use in the future to impress in laws (bahahahaha) #singlebecause

Single Mom Life

Busy, busy, busy busy busy and did I mention busy?

I don't always have the time to cook. (Sad but true) but my desire for trying new things and products is still reflected in my easiest meals.

This week, my daughter and I tried a pre made bacon wrapped meatloaf. The brand was Chef Prepared Dinner at Home from Harris Teeter. It was ready in an hour and my daughter enjoyed it as much as I did.

I was able to make some calls and wash a load of laundry while the meatloaf cooked. A great option for any parent and an especially great option for this busy single mom.

Thanks Harris Teeter. Enjoy Peeps
