I will try again with the glass mason jar and maybe regular milk? I used soymilk.

did you use regular oats or steel cut?


i like the steel cut, and my gf likes regular, also i use almond milk (not the unsweetned kind)


i put them in tupperware type containers with twist on lids

I used regular. How does the Tupperware work for you?

I am thinking about making chicken enchiladas today so I am working up a recipe in my head. I can poach the chicken, shred it, and then mix it with cream cheese for the filling. I want to make a green sauce. I have salsa verde so maybe I can use that some how.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have the mixings all down, I'd use fresh tomotillios roasted and blended with 1/2 sweet onion, 1 fresh jalipino roasted and seeded, and 1 clove of garlic for the green sauce. saltnpepper totaste. I use a cup of orange juice and a table spoon of worschishire to poach the chicken, add fresh chopped celantro after shredding. Turn up the heat in the pan after the chicken comes out, while shredding chicken let the juices reduce by half, add back shredded chicken and sop up the flavor, then make the filling. Add some sauce to the bottom of tray, add enchelladas and cover with the rest of the sauce, add cheese to the top and bake for 15 minutes at 350*. Hot bubbly goodness.

That sounds yummy. Thank you for your suggestions.

Chad, you could also add diced green chili's and shredded cheese and even a can of cream of chicken soup to your filling mixture. Add some chicken broth to your salsa verde and you will have a fantastic green sauce. You could also make it yourself using fresh tomatillo's, white onion diced and a couple of jalapenos and bake them for about 20 minutes at 350. You'll want to cut your tomatillo's in half and you can add as many jalapenos that you want for extra kick. Once you baked all the ingredients I mentioned you can add them to your blender or food processor and blend away to a consistency that you like.
Thanks to the useless information that runs around in my head I have to share this handy little bit of information. You can use your hand mixer to shred your chicken breasts. Happy cooking!

I want fried rice but I have never made it. I looked at some recipes but it seems out of my comfort zone.

Any suggestions?

OR maybe invite a girlie over who knows how to make it and barter with a nice foot massage?

I always start with cold leftover rice... it fries really well with a bit of sesame oil and scrambled eggs. If you want veggies and protein cook that first with a bit of sesame oil, add the rice and scrambled eggs.

I think I will make pad thai today for dinner... what ever you have, enjoy!
