28OCT25 - Broccoli, Carrots, Chicken, and Rice

Recipe: Bring 1.75 cups water, 1 beef bullion cube, salt, and some lime juice to a boil. Add chopped carrots, broccoli, 1 cup Jasmine rice, and a spoon of minced garlic.  Stir. Slowly reduce heat to level 2. Let sit covered for 20 min. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Add previously made chicken. Notes: There was very little flavor. Try adding cumin or other spices next time. Some rice stuck to the pan. Maybe I need to add butter/oil before boiling or maybe I need to stir with something other than a fork. Rice was a good tenderness, maybe a little slightly overdone, potentially start 20 min timer before reducing heat.

https://cultivatinghealthyhabits.blogspot.com/2014/11/spaghetti-ala-dale.html Changes made to the recipe include: Added salt/pepper to ground beef (73 % lean) when cooking The only vegetables used were orange bell pepper and baby Bok choy Lowry's seasoning salt used to taste Notes on taste: I really enjoyed the taste of the Bok choy; however, I think the orange bell pepper was too sweet in comparison with it. Lowry's seasoning was good Notes for future preparation: I think I should use either a green or yellow bell pepper as they are not as sweet. I believe I drained too much fat before adding in the vegetables. Next time I will try not to drain as much
