One-Pot Chicken, Broccoli And Rice

Call it efficient - or call it lazy - but there’s nothing better than making a great meal and only having to clean one pot. This extremely simple meal only takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, and you can mix up the spices to fit your own tastes. It doesn’t get better than that!

Rice is always a tricky thing for me. Even when I follow the recipe to the letter, I always end up with some burning and sticking. I’ve included my modifications so you hopefully won’t have that problem.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Italian seasoning
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 lb frozen broccoli florets, thawed and cut into bite-sized pieces
3 Tbsp soy sauce
Shredded cheese

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add chicken and seasoning and cook until completely browned.

2. Add garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes.

3. Remove chicken from pot and heat another Tbsp of olive oil in the pot. (You can also just move the chicken to the side if you want to make it a true 1-pot dish.) Pour in the rice and stir until browned.

4. Add chicken broth to the rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir the chicken back in. Do not cover. Cook mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to keep rice from sticking to the bottom.

5. Stir in broccoli and cook until heated through.

6. Finally, add soy sauce and stir to combine. Serve with shredded cheese.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
