Happy New Year!

So its 2013, and one of my resolutions this year (amongst other things...) is to post more. At least once a week. I experience so many great things! Whats not worthy of sharing?!
So since I am asked quite a bit about my cooking, I'll most likely be sharing LOTS of food. MMMM, the Steinbuch house always smells good if I do say so myself!
Lately I've been using my rice cooker a TON. Its kind of like cooking with your crock pot but WAY faster. Big thanks to Skratch Labs for this idea, quite a while ago from their bada$$ FeedZone cookbook.
Today was the same... chop veggies and chicken, toss in rice cooker, hit steam cook button, go spin on trainer. House filled with delicious smells. Torture spinning away, watching the Hangover 2, trying to stop my tummy from growling.

This is a low fat take on that cream of chicken casserole yo Momma made.

I chopped up a half an onion, yellow pepper, and about 2.5 cups of mushrooms. Tossed in pot that i had turned on to preheat it.

Next came about 1lb of chicken breast i chopped up, salt and peppered, and tossed in with veggies. I then added 1 can of reduced fat cream of chicken soup, with 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth, and stirred the whole mixture up, so all the lumps were gone!

Closed the lid and away I went! It self times and cooks perfectly.

When we were ready to eat, Kev made some brown ride fusilli noodles to go with his (it will be liquidy, to thicken you can add a bit of cornstarch to the mix about halfway thru cooking time), and I added 1/2 cup of quinoa to my bowl! Yummy veggies and chicken got mad props from the hubbs. I was stoked he didn't notice how many veggies I once again snuck into his dinner! YAY!

It's just too bad we ate it so fast and didn't get any 'after' photos! Next time!

Fun photo I took at pool today, hit 71 in lgb. It was awesome!
