I’ve decided to start expanding my cooking skills, since currently I simply stir-fry everything. I am in need of easy, quick, versatile meals that are conducive to the life of a busy student. Here is my first experiment, a super easy dish that took almost no effort!

Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients: Rice, avocado, cilantro, onions, mushrooms, carrots, chicken

1. Steam all ingredients except avocado & cilantro

2. Bring home leftover chicken from a seminar with free food. Or otherwise know how to actually cook meat (which I don’t – hey, my cooking skills are a work in progress)

4. Add chicken, avocado, and cilantro

5. Top with salt & pepper

Verdict: Yummy & healthy! Avocados are how I know that God is good.

Lessons: I now realize that steamed veggies are generally good but bland, and that steamed carrots are gross. Must find a way to flavor my veggies and remember to only use carrots for carrot juice.
