It's been a year!

 It's been an entire year since I last posted. 

We are at the end of our kitchen renovation! It's been a grueling month long process but it's almost done and it looks great so far and will only look better when done. 

My Crockpot Express has been a lifesaver during the last month.  I did some prep for when we'd be without a kitchen.  I knew I couldn't handle the expense - financial or healthwise - of a month of takeout.  So this was our plan of meals.  I figured 2 per week would be enough, but we've been averaging only one per week. 

-Vietnamese pulled chicken with ramen (already made and in the freezer except the noodles)
-Creamy chicken orzo with peas - adding chicken to this recipe
-Sloppy Joes Plus with coleslaw
-Greek Harvest Grain bowls
-Southwest beef burrito bowls
-White chicken chili
-Pulled pork on buns or over rice
-Grilled sausage with air fryer potatoes

We so far have made most of the things on that list.  This week was creamy chicken orzo and I was very pleased by how it came out.  Last week's chili was also delish.  I modified those recipes a bit so I'll write them out here.
