Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Broccoli-and-Cheese-Stuffed-Chicken

Last week I overdid it on red meat. I had lamb chops, a burger, kubbeh, and steak (and probably more that I can’t really remember). I’m pretty sure I had red meat at least once everyday for the entire week.

Generally, for health and preventing high cholesterol reasons, I limit my red meat intake to twice a week – three times max. But last week was a little out of the ordinary meal-wise. While I’m all about free lunches at work, it’s hard to keep track of what I’m eating when I’m hovering outside of a conference room waiting for leftovers and will honestly be willing to awkwardly stand outside the door of a concluding meeting for leftover Roti –it’s that good. I’m thinking I might have had red meat for lunch and dinner on some days. (more…)

Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole

The last time I made rice, it took me exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds. I basically pulled the plastic wrap off of minute rice, stuck it in the microwave and waited impatiently for one minute while it cooked. Needless to say, rice is not my forte. Even more needless to say, I barely eat rice at home, unless it’s minute rice of course. Despite this, I still decided to try my luck with a healthy, lower-calorie version of a rice casserole. I wasn’t sure. I’ve had too many experiences where the rice was either over (mushy) or under cooked. Trust me, if I can do this, so can you. (more…)

Crustless Broccoli Quiche

 

 

 

A couple years ago, when I was finishing up my Master’s at Syracuse University, my mom came to visit and help me move out. There’s something about moms where they can rummage through your fridge and find random ingredients then turn those random ingredients into deliciousness. Somehow, while I was packing up my things, my mom made this crustless quiche. It was amazing.

This morning was a crustless quiche kind of morning. I’m missing a couple ingredients – namely the right kind of cheese – but I was able to improvise.
