Open Sesame Chicken

Well... that hiatus lasted a little longer than expected. My bad.

To catch you all up....

1. I survived student teaching 
2. I finished undergrad
3. I'm a grad student
4. I have a fancy phone (bringing you fancy pictures)
5. I got engaged 
6. I live in NJ.. fist pump YEAHH (....wait, the show got cancelled? Never mind...)

I'll never leave you again, Crock Pot.

Now that it's fall I officially declare it Crock Pot Season (fa la la la la la la la la la). 

Kristen Tackles Leftovers... take one

I've never been very good about leftovers. I usually eat the same dish over and over before I get so sick of whatever it is I am eating that the thought of it makes me want to vom.

However, as I am on the quest to become a better cook/"healthier" college student, I am accepting the challenge of disguising my leftovers- both cleverly and deliciously.

The dish: Spicy honey-glazed chicken with rice
The dilemma: I am really, really, really sick of rice.

How I now feel about rice:

You know, that scene in the movie where they keep making him eat fruit cake and pudding? Yeah. I feel like that.

Therefore, I bring you.... Use-Everything-In-The-Apartment-That's-Going-To-Go-Bad Casserole:

Yum.
