Garlic Herb Chicken and Asparagus Dinner

Yeah, nothing really new, but I bought a new McCormick spice which we tried out for the first time, and it was delicious! We made our asparagus again; we're definitely making it a weekly thing, it's just too easy, tasty, and healthy not to make.

     We made our usual chicken, but the pre-made spices we bought was a great touch to it; it added much more flavor and I cooked it just enough to make it juicy. The asparagus was great as always.
     Keiko got the asparagus from Food For Less and they were huge!! They were still tasty but not as tasty as the ones from Albertsons. The chicken was good too; juicy and tender with lots of flavor from the seasoning.

Trader Joe's Chicken Fried Rice

So for you college students out there, I know you know that sometimes there's no time to cook so you have to rely on frozen or easy made food. Well, today is one of those instances. We'll have the occasional non-homemade product review replacing our should be 'homemade dank' recipes.

     It was surprisingly really, really good. Easy to make, just simply heat it up in a skillet. They suggest making stir fry by adding in some butter and oil, but we wanted to keep it healthy (which it somewhat is; 200 calories per cup of rice); definitely on the healthier side compared to most fried rice. The sad part was that they barely put in chicken, even though it's called CHICKEN fried rice. But the taste was sweeter than I expected, and the rice was sort of chewy, which I actually liked. We probably would add more of our own vegetables next time, like onions, mushrooms, and such. But overall, pretty satisfying. 

      It was very easy to eat, but I think that the rice could have been softer, and I would have liked more chicken. The vegetables in it gave it a nice crunch.
