More rice dishes!
I still had those olives sitting in my fridge from the Greek Chicken we cooked a few weeks ago, and I wanted to use them up. And I guess olives means another Greek dish.
I really like the skillet rice dishes from Budget Bytes, and I hadn't made the Greek Turkey and Rice Skillet yet so I figured I'd give that a try. This was really easy to make, and all of the flavors worked really well together.
The only modifications we made were using fresh spinach instead of frozen (because frozen spinach doesn't taste as good), and using cilantro instead of parsley (duh).
We may end up making all of the rice dishes in Budget Bytes before my sister leaves.
Because not every meal has a story. At least not one I can remember.
Can't remember all the things I changed in this recipe, but I know I used cilantro instead of parsley.
The shrimp in the pan wasn't as aesthetically pleasing, so we only took one type of photo. This is probably my favorite recipe from All Recipes, so I might make a full post about it in the future.
We made this the other day since my sister mentioned really wanting some Spanish rice. As you can see in the photos, I replaced the artichokes with green bell peppers because that's what I had on hand. And I used chicken broth instead of vegetable.
And yes, everything in this post is garnished with cilantro.
I just happened to be at Trader Joe's the other day, and I remembered a Budget Bytes recipe that I really wanted to try: Seafood Rice Skillet. Now this recipe calls for some sort of seafood mix, but Beth used the one in Trader Joes so I figured, why not.
Note to self: never buy Trader Joe's Seafood Blend again. It is tasteless.
I followed the recipe exactly, and the end result was a really beautiful dish. I think it needs some adjustments though:
Oh, and I also replaced parsley with cilantro. Because parsley smells weird and cilantro makes everything better.
