Creamy Chicken + Mushroom + Broccoli Bake

*can be done with pasta or rice*
As much as I love making extra af plates every night… sometimes it’s nice to take a breather and do something simple.

This bake can be done with a store bought rotisserie chicken; or you can make your own chicken like I did! Whatever is easier for you 💚

I used 8oz whole wheat penne pasta (cooked) , 2 cups chopped chicken breast, 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini), 3 small broccoli heads (cut into florets + blanched), 1 small onion (chopped + sautéed), LOTS of garlic, 2 cups shredded pepper back cheese, 1 can roasted garlic cream of mushroom and 1 cup vegetable broth + 1/2 cup heavy cream. Season to taste.

Heat oven to 350; and add cooked pasta, chicken, and broccoli to a 13x9 pan. Then sauté the onion + garlic, plus whatever seasonings you desire. Once onions are soft, add mushrooms and cook another 5 mins. Add stock, soup, 1 cup shredded cheese, and heavy cream; whisk until well blended. Stir the mixture into pan with pasta and chicken until everything is coated, then sprinkle with remaining cheese snd back for 15!

If you like more sauce, you can add more of stock/cheese/cream, whatever is to your liking!

I topped with red pepper flakes for added 🔥

Why is it important to rest your meat? By letting it rest, the moisture is reabsorbed and your meat will be tender and juicy. I like to rest my steaks on a Himalayan salt block!

🔪 when meat cooks; muscle fibers start to firm and water will get pushed out, this moistures will move to the surface and eventually evaporate.
🔪 when you remove meat from heat, the moisture inside still needs time to redistribute.
🔪 if you cut right away, the liquid will pool out and your meat will end up dry.
🔪 ALSO; a large piece of meet will continue to cook after you take it out, “carry-over” cooking. Hence why a lot of recipes will say to take meat out a little before it is done.

brunch with bae 🍹
• croissant egg sandwich
• crispy fried catfish strips
• sweet potato pancakes

Beautiful in downtown Oakland with an option for rooftop seating (my fav) giving a perf urban ambience. Their playlist was hittin and the food was delicious! My favorite plate was the catfish strips (perfectly crisp outside + soft/buttery inside) that came with FLAVORFUL red beans and rice. Made me want to go straight home and make some myself 😂

Definitely coming back for their dinner menu in the future ✊🏽

Charcuterie order from today 👅 This customer wanted the least amount of sugar so we went with; grape tomatoes + olives, nuts and dried fruits (plantains and pineapple) and lots of meats + cheeses 😊 I added keto crackers and keto chocolate snacks that have no sugar at all! I love the way this box came out. Honestly, I wish I had made one for myself this weekend too 😂

SPICED CHICKEN LEGS 🌶
Omg.. so my darling bf brought out these whole chicken legs the other night and said this is what I want 🤷🏾‍♂️ With no plan I grabbed some spices (definitely has an Eastern theme) and paired them with saffron rice and steamed broccoli.
Basically I rubbed down the chicken with an abundance of; turmeric, cumin, all spice, coriander and more... crisped the chicken skin and set aside to sauté; shallots, ginger, Serrano peppers, and garlic. Once the vegetables were fragrant I nestled the chicken legs together, added water, fish sauce and fresh cilantro and slightly covered to simmer in the sauce. Topped again with more fresh cilantro and lemon zest! 🍋🌿✨

Do we want a live cooking sesh for this recipe??

Simple + easy vegetarian pasta salad 🌿
Made with my favorite; farfalle!
This recipe only calls for a few ingredients, most of which you probably already have.
• 2 boxes farfalle, cooked
• very good olive oil, about 1/2 - 3/4 cup
• flaky salt + freshly ground pepper
• 2 bunches fresh basil, roughly chopped
• 1 lb grape tomatoes (I like the medley), all sliced in half
• 2-3 cups shaved Parmesan
• dried oregano + red pepper flakes, to taste
• zest of 1 lemon
• juice of half a lemon

Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and serve! Can be prepared ahead of time, this allows all the flavors to settle together too. Personally I love to add a lot of cheese and pepper flakes, so that is up to your pallet. You can make this vegan by omitting the Parmesan cheese (add toasted pecans). If you’re looking for a different protein, add chopped up prosciutto!! The lemon zest is a must 🍋
*cut recipe in half if needed, 2 boxes was for a party, if it’s just your household, one box will be fine!

Sunday’s really are for 🍳 Easy potato hash sautéed with chopped red potatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic and topped off with an array of spices. Once the potatoes are browned, add the remaining vegetables until fragrant. Make 2-4 wells (depending on the amount of eggs you are using) add a little bit of oil, and the heat to low. Crack and egg in each well and cover pan until eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve with avocado slices + hot sauce and a side of hot links 🔥
