This week’s food came with a lil crafting! We are officially (!!) hosting Thanksgiving so decided to add some DIY decor by asking everyone to make construction paper turkeys 🦃 🥺 Dinner was one of our weeknight staples - chipotle honey chicken rice bowls. The whole thing comes together in the Instant Pot in < 30 minutes.
Chipotle Honey Chicken Rice Bowls
The chipotle honey recipe is from NYTimes. We add fire roasted frozen corn and serve with avocado and rice instead of in taco form.
Chips & Salsa
Crafting requires fuel.
Bittersweet Chocolate Pudding
I followed this recipe which relies on technique to get the ideal pudding texture. I over-beat the chocolate so this was way too intense and bitter.
Apple Cider Caramels
A favorite treat to make this time of year. You can either make your own boiled cider by boiling apple cider, or buy buying a jar of boiled cider. I bought a jar this year, and also used them to make apple cider snickerdoodles.
