Today may be a day of many blog entries as I prepare to go out of town. I need to get caught up on all the delicious meals I’ve made and tried before I have a whole week’s worth of adventures to talk about. I just made my June meals, but I am still finishing up eating all my May meals and even further behind on blogging, so its time to get creaking. I am also excited to be using my new IPad that is even faster to get posts out. One day last week, we made Chicken Paella. I had never had Paella before, but it definitely looked a little bit like a Tex Mex or Spanish version of jambalaya. After thawing the meal, I placed the rice, meat, and sauce in a larger sauce pan, stirring to mix. I brought it to a boil over medium heat and simmered it for about 20-25 minutes. Next, I removed it from the heat, added in the peas and let it rest about 8 minutes. We really liked this dish. We love jambalaya, so we loved this, too. It had great flavor and it made a ton. This was technically a 3 serving meal, but I think that we got at least 5 meals out of it. This was another yummy meal that made great leftovers and I look forward to seeing it on the menu again!
