52 Weeks of Letting Reddit Decide My Food – Week 3

At the beginning of January, I made a post asking the community for their best meal prep recipes to help me cook something new this year and get out of my comfort zone in the kitchen. I told you all that this year I would give my best shot at cooking the most upvoted comment from my post every week.

Here's Week #3

Slow Cooker Parmesan Herb Chicken & Orzo

Greek peas and potato – Arakas

I decided to show you guys the other meals I cooked for the week. My wife always asks me to make some kind of legume salad, and she also requested a fruit salad this week. So here it is! It took me around 4 hours in the kitchen this afternoon, but I think it was worth it. We’ll be eating well again this week.

I really enjoyed making the Herb Chicken and Orzo. It had been a while since I dusted off my slow cooker, and I had almost forgotten how convenient it is. The Arakas was also pretty simple to make. I do not cook often with dill, but it was a fun new flavor to work with, and it is another vegetarian meal that my wife will be happy to eat. I added a pork chop to my portion because it was on sale, and the caveman I am needs to see some meat on his plate to be pleased.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, and keep them coming. I’ll see you guys next week!
