Cocinando

Last night I made a clever little soup. I was craving some creamy basil chicken, but it was very cold yesterday. I cooked the chicken in the crockpot with onions and sweet bell pepper, topped it with chicken broth and lots of basil. I let it cook for hours. (I also added mushrooms, but don't tell the doc! Nicolee loved 'em!) By lunch time, it smelled a little weird in my house. (Hint, don't use raw onions and bell peppers next time!) But at dinner time, it smelled heavenly! I stirred in some FF cream cheese to make it creamy and served it in a bowl over mashed potatoes! It was awesome! Like I said, next time I will sautee the onions and bell peppers first and maybe add carrots to make it more flavorful.

Early this morning, as I was quickly styling Nicolee's hair and making lunches, I also made breakfast AND dinner! The doc and I had Pine Valley eggs for breakfast, and we will all have a keilbasa-hash for dinner! I diced potatoes and put them in the crockpot. When I get home, I will saute the keilbasa, carrots, garlic, onions, etc, and toss them all together, and pan fry in the skillet.

I sometimes wish I had more time!!!
