A Weekend Full of Simple, Nourishing Meals: Baked Burritos, Rice Bowls, and Egg Burritos
When I think of simple and nourishing, I have in mind foods that I can whip together quickly for my hard-working family. During the warmer months of the year, we devote our weekends to property work. Everyone is outside the whole weekend, clearing brush, picking up sticks, and trying to get our property ready to produce food. They’re all tired, hungry and eager for something simple and satisfying. In this post, I share how we enjoy simple and nourishing meals all weekend from one day of cooking.
My Tata’s Chicken Soup
While dicing local onions and red potatoes on Sunday evening, and speaking with my mom on the phone, I found out that my Tata Wardeh often added turmeric to her chicken soups, for color and for health. Tata Wardeh is/was my grandmother for whom I was named; she passed away after living a long and [...]
Chicken, Rice & Bean Skillet
This is one of my not-very-precise recipes, and it also happens to be very forgiving. I created it along the same lines as many of my hard-to-duplicate-exactly skillet dishes. It was delicious last night and I’m looking forward to having more for lunch today.
1 red onion, diced
extra virgin olive oil
2 or 3 cups of cooked [...]

Chicken Meatballs & Wild Rice Soup
Sylvia’s Chicken Noodle Soup was a hit for our dinner last night! The meatballs are out of this world yummy.
We will have this meal again and again.
My procedure was to take frozen chicken stock and get it simmering. Then I added diced onions, the soup spices, and 3 cups of wild rice to that. I [...]
Chicken Ginger Soup
Yesterday, I boiled a chicken with ginger in the water to make a delicious ginger chicken stock. After the chicken was cooked, I took it out and added brown basmati rice to the water. Then when that was done, I took the meat from the chicken and added it back in. During the day, I [...]
Coconut Cumin Chicken
Here is our coconut cumin chicken ala Sylvia (and here’s her new blog), for her recipe inspired this variation in our family.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Pour 1 can of coconut milk (light or regular) into the bottom of a baking pan. Add 2 tablespoons cumin, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 [...]
Cooking Whole Chickens in a Crockpot
You’re going to think I’m horribly simple and boring when I tell you what I do to cook chickens. This is definitely not gourmet. This method is so simple and handy — it requires almost no effort but yields tender, juicy, fall-off-the-bone chicken for sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and skillet dishes. It results in a good [...]
Ginger Chicken, Rice & Lentil Soup
Ginger Chicken, Rice & Lentil Soup
This soup is heart-warming, healthy and delicious. Serve it on after a day spent outside in cool winter or fall weather. It makes a large quantity — great for company or for wonderfully nourishing leftovers.
Even though the soup will be cooking in part all day long, it is still really [...]
Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
We ate this for dinner last night. Oh, it was yummy. The sauce is what makes it so flavorful. I was out of fresh ginger, so I used the good quality powdered ginger from my spice cupboard.
Wardeh's Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 red onion, quartered then sliced
Assortment of chopped vegetables — [...]
