So far I have made Miso Chicken, which was a big hit. I made it in the crock pot instead of marinading it and then cooking it stovetop. I actually think it may have turned out even better this way. YUMMY.

Next, I attempted this:

Grapefruit Pound Cake. #1: NEVER attempt to zest 2 Tablespoons of grapefruit zest without proper equipment. OMG. It literally took me 20 minutes. And a sore neck. And I gave up before I got 2T. And then Charlie didn't like it, and I did... so I had it eat it all. Yuck. So make this one at your own risk.
And finally, I made this:

It was very good. We used crowder peas instead of sweet green peas, so I added them in at the beginning so they could soften with the onions and bell pepper. It could have used a touch more salt, but it was very good! We also used plain white rice instead of instant rice, so it cooked longer there, too... I'm sure you could do brown rice instead, too! Charlie got seconds, so I know he liked it!
I think we're both pleased with how this Christmas gift is turning out. And. Let's face it. We have freezers full of food just waiting for recipes to use them up!
