Cilantro-Lime Coconut Rice

August 14, 2015 Amanda Plott
coconut-rice8.jpg

Let's see... the first time I had cilantro-lime coconut rice was quite a few many years back now. Right about when I first started getting into cooking. As far as I can remember, my mom and I were trying to come up with a rice to go with a Thai inspired dish that wouldn't be quite so traditional.

I remember that I was more than a little apprehensive because coconut is not one of my favorite flavors and I hadn't yet really been exposed to the wonderfulness that is coconut milk. My attitude towards coconut started to change with this rice right here.

One of the great things about cilantro-lime rice is that it can pair well with almost any Asian, Thai, or even Indian style dish. Yes, I've been known to sneak it in with a Mexican style dinner as well, though I usually leave the coconut milk for that variation!...

Everything but the... Kitchen Sink Skillet

May 19, 2015 Amanda Plott

This post is sponsored by Clorox — helping you clean on the go for a happier home.

So, I had this brilliant soup that I was intending to make this week, and actually did make this week... I'm told that it was delicious! The sad thing is I was feeling under the weather that day and in the process of my fuzzy mindset I thought it would be a good idea to use purple carrots in the soup; which then resulted in a less than atheistically pleasing brown broth. Ugh. 

Since I didn't want to remake the same soup over again for a second time this week, I went into my pantry, fridge, and freezer and cleaned everything out that I had leftover from other recent meals. Rice. Vegetables of all kinds. Cheese. Salsa. That's why I dubbed this 'Everything but the Kitchen Sink' Skillet. 

Some of the best kitchen advice that I've ever received was to clean as you go, and that especially holds true when you're also using up your leftovers! I put my new Clorox® Pump ‘N Clean™ Kitchen & Dish Cleaner to the test with my 'spring cleaning' venture today. Just put a sponge or paper towel to the dispenser, pump and clean; it's that easy!...

Vegan Cauliflower Rice Taco Bowls

February 26, 2015 Amanda Plott

A while back I came across the idea of cauliflower rice. At first I was a bit skeptical, but after the first time I tried it, I knew it would be an instant hit. I've made it several times now and somehow it just never manages to make it here, for one reason or another.

I knew that I wanted to make the cauliflower rice to go in some sort of taco bowl, but wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to go with it beyond that. Then I remember that I had made this green goddess dressing a while back, and absolutely fell in love with it. I kept trying to think of other ways in which to use it and finally came to the conclusion that the most of the ingredients in it would make for a perfect cilantro lime avocado dressing.

Aha! Perfect to go with my cauliflower rice bowl!

Once I had some of the basics nailed down, I let my local produce for the week speak for me and I ended up with a veggie-full bowl of wonderfulness...

Lily's Lunch Box (Week 5) - Tex-Mex

August 25, 2014 Amanda Plott

There's two things I can always count on getting my little one to eat. Beans and rice! In fact, she takes her beans and rice plain. No salt. No 'spice'... just a sprinkle of cheese and she's done. She has been that way with beans and rice for her entire life.

Though it's not my way of eating them, I'm more than happy to oblige her with this small request. Thankfully, corn and mandarine oranges are two more things that are on the top of her 'will always eat' list. What does that give you? A fun tex-mex lunch idea!...

Healthified Breakfast Rice Cereal

February 21, 2014 Amanda Plott

I remember back when I was little, my mom would make my brother and I 'Breakfast Rice' which was full of butter, sugar, and warm milk. It. Was. Fantastic. Truly one of my fondest breakfast memories.

My little girl has been a rather picky eater for the last year or so. Thankfully, I have been able to get her to at least try new things over the most recent months. One thing that she will never turn away is rice, and yet... for whatever reason, I hadn't thought previously to give her a nice bowl of rice for breakfast...

Verde Taco Chicken Bowls

November 3, 2013 Amanda Plott

This is one of my very favorite crock pot recipes. It's an easy, versatile, and super de{light}ful recipe that is sure to appease the masses. Originally it's made with a red salsa and quite a lot of red spices.

However, lately... I've been on a verde kick. I was wanting to remake this recipe with a green chili kick using a verde salsa and some other green and spicy swaps!...
