Rice Bowls

    The other day I felt like Rumbi's rice bowls, but did not feel like spending the money, so this was my attempt at copying them. It's been forever since having their version, so I'm not sure if it's similar or not, but we loved these, so score for us! They are simple, easy, and quick to make.

  • Rice Bowls
  • **estimated measurements, you can really use as much or as little as you want**
  • 1 c. Rice, cooked
  • 3/4 c. Chopped vegetables (carrots, zucchini, peppers, broccoli - your choice)
  • 1 tsp. Sesame Oil
  • 1/4 c. Teriyaki Sauce (recipe follows)
  • 4 oz. Skinless, boneless chicken breast (optional. you could also use shrimp or pulled pork)

    • Teriyaki sauce


  • 1     c.     Soy sauce
  • 1/2 c. Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Grated ginger, very fine
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 3 Scallions chopped fine
  • Chili Garlic Sauce (optional)

  • Mix everything together, and set aside. I added probably a tsp. of the chili garlic sauce for heat.

  • If using chicken, shrimp, or pulled pork, prepare to your liking. For chicken I just pounded it, added salt and pepper, and then grilled it in the pan. Then I poured some of the teriyaki sauce on top just to marinate while I cooked the veggies.
    In a wok or pan heat the sesame oil on med-high, and cook your veggies to your liking. I like them a bit crisp. Spoon in some teriyaki sauce, and mix. Add chicken and mix up.
  • Place some rice in a bowl, pour a little teriyaki sauce over the top, then add your veggies and chicken. And voila!

  • There really aren't specific directions to these things. Just add what you want, and how much you want, and you'll figure out what you like :)

  • Bon Appetite!

    Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t

    Galette des Rois

    January 6 is the Epiphany, a day to celebrate when the 3 kings visited Baby Jesus.  I think it is a Catholic holiday.  I learned about it while in France and love the tradition of making a galette des rois/Kings Cake.   The tradition goes you make the cake with a hidden bean inside.  The youngest person at the table sits under the table.  As a slice of cake is plated, the youngster names who gets that slice.  (make sure you slice the cake so you have only as many slices as you do people eating the cake)  Whoever finds the hidden bean is the King or Queen for the evening and wears a crown.  This year, I think I improved my recipe, with more almond filling than I normally add.  I thought it was going to end up messy but instead it made it yummier.  I had some extra filling and decided to make a mini kings cake with the extra puff pastry.  I added some fresh raspberries which tasted quite yummy all warm in the cake.  Though I think I prefer it without the berries.  Try it out, it is reall
