Vietnamese-Style Baked Chicken Recipe

I was thinking about what to have as side for this, but when it came down to it, I couldn’t think of anything, so I figured, hey, start a bit early and make some fried rice and put this in there.. So I used the simple fried rice recipe a bit and chopped the chicken up and added it after (setting aside some to eat on its own). Quite good, quite good in fried rice. I’ll have to make this again.

Turmeric Chicken Stew

Quite a bit of turmeric in here. It was certainly warming on a chilly day. I was a bit sad that I didn’t get a chance to get leftovers the next day, but that was telling as they disappeared before I could have them.

Flat Bread with Black Beans and Avocado (based on this)

So the point here is to get more beans into my diet in a way where it is relatively simple to do so. The arepas themselves are probably not that hard to do, but it didn’t seem like something that I wanted to do on an easy cooking day.

All-American Cheeseburger Pasta (with Bison)

So in an effort have less animal fat in my diet, I took some lean(ish) Bison to replace the ground beef with. I had to make some adjustments, as it did not exude the amount of fat, that the beef would, so vegetable oil was the pathway forward. Everything went fine, until the end when I was adding cheese. I may have added it a bit too quickly. Not allowing the sauce to form as stated, That being said, it was still pretty good over all, and there wasn’t too much cheese stuck to the sides and utensil. Plenty of leftovers as well. I suspect something was lost in the lack of beef fat, as usually is the cost.

Burger (Impossible? or something like that)

Beyond burger. Eh…again they’re fine.
