Creamy Hidden Zucchini Orzo

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Creamy Hidden Zucchini Orzo

Y’all know I love to hide some veggies, and this is a great dish to do so. It also, strangely, ends up tasting cheesy and kinda like mac & cheese. Win-win.

Note to future me: DH has requested a repeat showing of this recipe.

vegetarian, vegan

Creamy Hidden Zucchini Orzo

2/3 cup orzo (56g pp)

2 cups veggie or chicken stock

1/2 cup coconut milk

1 Tablespoon butter (Earth Balance is fine)

Zest of half a lemon

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1/2 cup zucchini, grated finely

Cook the orzo in the stock, stirring continuously so it doesn’t stick for 5-6 minutes or until al dente, adding the zucchini in at the last minute. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir.

Serves 2 for dinner

Latest project: Was initially supposed to be a market bag, but came out a little diminutive. Changed direction, and a basket was born.

This is one happy boy. Our inaugural trip to Al Bidda park this season was a success! The pups got to smell all the greenery, Odin didn’t yell at the gardeners, our new harnesses were a hit, and we even had brief moments of no pulling. Plus: run time with Daddy. A win/win kind of day, despite some car hysterics.

Self care Thursdays are all about leaving the bathroom full of good smells and feeling plumped up and fresh.

This dish takes the goodness that is buffalo chicken dip and brings it to the dinner table. It’s creamy, satisfying, and just a bit spicy. Yum.

gluten-free

Buffalo Chicken Pasta

4 servings your favorite pasta (I used rice fusilli)

Shredded chicken (I used rotisserie, about half a chicken)

3 ounces buffalo sauce (Franks Red Hot is the best IMHO; I used half garlic flavored and half regular)

5.5 ounces cream cheese (vegan or otherwise)

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 tsp. celery seed (if you’re using celery salt, make sure to taste before adding more salt)

2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. onion powder

Cook your pasta according to directions. Drain and add to a large bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Stir to combine.

Serves 4 for dinner
