This post is a little over do, but with Easter weekend and working 14 hours on Monday for the Twins opener game I wasn't able to find time to post until now. I have a combination of a few different things going on for this past week, but I will start with Easter brunch.
My Family hosted Easter brunch this sunday and I helped out with the cooking, which included some breakfast sausages, which were just fried up in a skillet, 18 eggs, which we scrambled. We also made my personal favorite, Cheesy Hash browns, and a Ham, that we added a cup of water too and cooked for an hour in the oven. We kept everything fairly simple but it was all delicious none the less and I am always thankful to get to spend some time at home with my family!
For my official blog post this week I was inspired by some Lettuce Wraps that my friend ordered when we were out to eat this past weekend. After cooking grains in lab I decided to try something other than the typical rice that I normally make, and picked up some cous cous at the store. The only kind I could find was in a box and cooked in ten minuets but it ended up needing about 2 times as much water as the box instructed. It was quick and easy to make and one serving made a lot so I had extra for later. As always I was nervous cooking the chicken because I can never seem to cook it so it turns out not raw or burnt. However, this time seemed to be the charm! I used two tenderloins and defrosted them in the microwave first and cooked them over about a teaspoon of olive oil, which was much better than the Pam I typically use. The chicken turned out perfect, fully cooked and not burnt! I think it helped that they were smaller pieces and I cooked them on low heat. I put some sweet red pepper asian sauce on the top of everything which added some extra flavor and it turned out to be one of my favorite meals so far!
