One pot Chicken with Mushroom Rice
I’m bustling around the kitchen, chopping mushrooms and leeks. Chicken thighs are marinating in the big bowl I like to use for these things. The all-star basketball game is on in the living room but I’m happy to be in the kitchen where the aromas of comforting food linger and I can indulge in one of my…
Spicy Shrimp Burgers with Wasabi Slaw
