Shoebox Recipes Blog

This morning I needed to create a dish for my honey to take with him for a weekly luncheon at his church. We weren’t really prepared and there was no time to go shopping to get anything special so I went with what we had on hand. It turned out really good too!

First I cooked some brown rice by using a standard method:
1 cup rice
2-1/2 cups water
Bring the water to a boil then stir in the rice. Allow to simmer for 45 minutes until the water is entirely absorbed.

I then cut up a boneless skinless chicken breast into bite sized pieces. I poured about a tablespoon of olive oil into a large nonstick pot and heated the oil over a medium flame. I added the chicken to the pot and cooked it until done. Next I poured in a can of chicken, rice and vegetable soup and stirred it in. Then I added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and stirred the mixture, breaking up frozen clumps of vegetables. Over medium-low heat I cooked that mixture until the vegetables were hot. I then mixed in the pot of hot rice and stirred until everything was evenly spread.

I placed the entire mixture into a casserole dish just before he had to leave. The casserole dish was brought home empty! Mission accomplished.

I’ve decided to add a blog to Shoebox Recipes to share some things that are just simply easier to write about in this fashion. So stay tuned to see what I might come up with.

If you have wondered why you haven’t seen anything new added recently, it’s because I’ve been busily rebuilding the website. I’m hoping that by doing this the pages will load faster and navigation around the site will be less cumbersome.

I’m not sure how soon the new site will be ready for prime time, but it keeps getting closer. It might be a few weeks yet.
