I don't enjoy cooking, it's a means to fill my stomach.
It's just never been enjoyable, thank goodness K enjoys cooking.
Tonight I had a meeting to attend and since K worked all day I decided to throw together some food.
I bought some quinoa at Trader Joe's a while back, but not being much of a cook it intimidated me with it's newness.
Tonight I decided to tackle it, knowing it cooked quicker than rice and I wanted to cook the grilled chicken breasts I bought last week.
(Side note: I detest cooking chicken. I have a fear that I will undercook it and everyone will get sick. Already cooked AND grilled frozen chicken breasts = perfection for me)
So, I cooked the quinoa with chicken stock since it is said to enhance the flavor, it smelled delish.
Then, I tossed the chicken in a skillet, warmed it up, then added rinsed black beans and corn. To add some extra flavor I tossed in some taco seasoning and garlic.
The smells were out of this world mouth-watering!
I tossed mine in a bowl, added some shredded cheese and inhaled.
K decided to add his to some tortillas with some salsa and lettuce.
It was good, stomachs were filled and all is good.
Wow! That sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteI don't enjoy cooking, either, and I'm not that good at it. And if it's not super simple, I'm really intimidated by it. I am tackling stuffed shells tomorrow. We'll see. It's a PW recipe, so I could probably find something easier.
That sounds so yummy!!! We LOVE quinoa around here!' And I have chicken (all raw meat) issues too. :) I refuse to touch raw meat--I just can't do it. Thankfully DJ doesn't mind. I can handle frozen meat--so it always goes from frozen to the pan if I am the only one home. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I hate cooking with chicken because I have the same fear. I don't mind cooking, and the more I do it, the better I feel about it and the more comfortable I feel. And I'm getting better :) But this dinner you made sounds DELICIOUS!! :D
