Each week, my goal is to cook at least 3 dinners at home. Instead of planning specific days for each recipe, I’ll just choose recipes and decide what to cook day by day. Everything from this week came from Cooking Light’s April 2013 issue.
Chicken with Quick Chili Verde: This was delicious! I really liked the Chili Verde sauce, and could see it being great on steak too.
Spice-Rubbed New York Strips with Avocado Lime Salsa: Oh wow. This was excellent. I’m on an avocado kick lately, and the salsa that went with this was great. And so pretty! I used jalapeño instead of serrano chilis, but other than that made it exactly as the recipe lists.
Shrimp and Shiitake Rice Bowls: I’m not a huge rice fan, but I do love shrimp, so I tried this one out anyway. I subbed the Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice and Brown mix for plain brown rice since I already had it, and made this on the night I was cooking for my parents. We all loved it! This was probably the quickest of the 3 meals I made this week, although all were done in 30 minutes or less.
