lime cilantro rice

Dawn made a Chipotle recipe and shared it with me. SO good.  Start with the rice:


Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup long-grain white rice

• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

1. Bring the water to a boil; stir the butter and rice into the water. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Stir the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro into the cooked rice just before serving.

Put McCormack Chicken spices onto chicken breasts and bbq.  slice thinly

Slice lettuce.  Warm black beans. Grate cheese, Make Dawn's pico de gallo.  Dawn added Guacamole Sauce

Build up a great salad OR stuff tortillas.

Serve with tortilla chips if desired.

Broccoli Cassserole

This is another recipe I asked for from the Women's Association Tea Prep.  I may need further instructions because this seems too easy but Pam said it was very easy.  I would add some salt/pepper, tho.

vegetable fried rice with bacon

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 3/4 teaspoon sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 head broccoli, florets and stalks cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 5 cups cooked long-grain white rice
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 4 large eggs
• 1 bunch watercress, stems removed
• Spicy mustard or chili sauce, for serving (optional)

Directions

Place a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and bacon and stir-fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over the bacon and toss. Add 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce (watch out-the oil will bubble up) and continue to stir-fry until the bacon is glazed, about 30 seconds. Transfer the bacon to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes to the drippings in the pan and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice, the remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce, the broth and glazed bacon. Toss to heat through.

Push the fried rice to one side of the pan, crack the eggs into the other side and scramble until set, about 1 minute. Mix the eggs into the rice and stir in the watercress. Divide among bowls and serve with mustard or chili sauce, if desired.
