first day cooking protein: chicken
Over the past 2 weeks, we have made a large variety of dishes. I am not sure if anyone has noticed, but so far most of our dishes have been vegetarian ā with the occasional exemption of adding bacon to a quiche, putting it on an english muffin to serve with a poached egg or learning how to break down an entire chicken. Donāt get me wrong, I enjoy making (and eating) soups and salads, but there comes a point when taking chicken apart, and not using it right away, just isnāt enough anymore.
Well, today was the day that changed it all! Eleven days into the program, we finally cooked with protein ā chicken! On the menu: roasted chicken with a jus, rice pilaf and buttered spinach.
Tomorrow we are venturing into yet another new category ā fish. We will be poaching flounder!
