When you just need a quick recipe...
By Aprill Brandon
Well, hello there! Welcome to my food blog! I see you’re looking up a
quick recipe to make for dinner tonight. You’ve definitely come to the
right place. This truly is one of my favorites to make and it’s so easy
and simple you’ll be shocked when it also tastes like it came from a
fancy five-star restaurant! And, trust me, your whole family will love
it! Yes! Truly! Did I already use truly earlier? Doesn’t matter,
because it’s true. Even though your kids haven’t eaten anything other
than plain pasta and french fries for the last eight months, they are
sure to ask for seconds (or maybe even thirds!) of this simple, easy
recipe that is truly SO tasty and uses all fresh ingredients including
a couple you’ve literally never even heard of.
As you can see from the much too large photo and bio over there on the
side of this website, I am a busy mom JUST LIKE YOU. A busy mom with
perfect hair casually holding a glass of white wine and wearing a
sweater you can definitely not afford. So, trust me, I get it. Dinner
time is always hectic in our house too. So, I know how valuable your
time is. So, let’s get right to it, shall we?
I first started cooking when I was seven-years-old. And one of my
favorite things to make in my grandmother’s kitchen was this very
recipe. Truly! Oh wait, sorry, here comes the first of the pop ads.
Followed immediately by the second one. Just hit the tiny little box
with the x in it but be careful not to accidentally click on the ad
itself...
Hey! Welcome back! Truly, I know how annoying those ads can be but a
girl has to make an income somehow, you know? Otherwise I couldn’t
afford a nanny to watch little Naiviann, Mckarty and Lakynn so I have
the time to write a 12,000 word introduction for every single recipe on
this site.
Now, as I was saying, this recipe is a real crowd-pleaser and uses
ingredients that are probably already in your pantry. Just some chicken
and organic heirloom tomatoes and spigarello and a ripe kabocha and
fresh thyme grown in the manure of a free range alpaca named Larry. Of
course, you can always substitute the fresh goat crema for evaporated
milk. I mean, I’m not a monster. I once was upper middle class before I
became wealthy so I get the struggle.
Oh, hang on, here comes the pop up video that you can’t find the X-out
button to. It’s only 3 minutes and 52 seconds long so just watch it as
your rage slowly starts to build.
Alright, onto the recipe because the kids are getting hungry while
you’ve wasted 45 minutes frantically scrolling in an increasingly
desperate attempt to find the recipe on this recipe blog site. But,
trust me, the wait will be worth it. No joke, over 12 people have sent
me messages telling me this was the BEST recipe they had ever tried.
Which is why I’m so excited for you to try it! Feel free to sign up for
my newsletter for more amazing recipes just like this one that you
haven’t even seen yet. Here are also some links you never asked for of
my other family-friendly recipes like an herb-encrusted salmon with a
white wine sauce and my garlic-infused roasted parmesan asparagus
casserole.
Now you want to make sure that when you are sauteeing the vegetables in
this recipe that you use sunflower oil and not vegetable oil. I know
this tip should be included with the actual recipe but when it comes to
cooking, at least in my experience, it’s always better to list the tips
and tricks to the recipe way before you get to the actual recipe so
that you have to scroll back up when you are in the middle of actually
making it.
Oh look, another ad! For something you didn’t even Google. You just
thought about it briefly last week. Creepy, huh? Oh, and bummer. Now
your screen is frozen. Don’t worry. I’ll wait. I clearly have all the
time in the world even though I am, as I mentioned, a very busy mom.
JUST LIKE YOU. Truly!
Hey! It finally unfroze. Welcome back again! Alright, now that your
battery is below five percent, here is the recipe. And you better get
started. The total time is 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Can’t get enough of Aprill? Can’t wait until next week?
