Favorite Recipe Friday

I know it has been a while. Our computer is still being worked on, so we have very limited resources to post and haven't downloaded pictures from our camera in a month. Anyway, here is a recipe and a cute picture.

Chicken Soup with Rice

2 tsp olive oil
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, chopped
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2/3 cup Arborio rice
1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
1 head escarole, cleaned and shredded
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Heat the oil in a nonstick saucepan, then add the carrots, celery and onion.
Saute until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, stir in the rice and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
Stir in the chicken, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is heated through, about 3 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the escarole.
Cover and set aside until the escarole wilts, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the salt and pepper.

And now for something completely different...

I found this picture online today. It was from when our library had a wild west night. The mayor read a story to the kids, they had games, a treasure hunt and other fun stuff for kids.

Isn't she so cute?
