• Cook your chicken in a pan with seasoning of your choice until golden brown.
• Add your cherry tomatoes to a roasting tray with half of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 mins at 350 degrees.
• Boil your pasta and then drain the water.
• Once the tomatoes are cooked, add them to the pasta along with a little balsamic vinegar and the rest of the olive oil.
• Shred the cooked chicken with a fork. Tear apart the mozzarella. Combine the shredded chicken with the tomato and pasta mixture along with the mozzarella and rocket. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!

• Rinse brown rice and set aside.
• Heat oil in a medium-large pot or saucepan over high heat. Add half of the olive oil, half the mushrooms and sprinkle some salt. Cook them for about 4 minutes until they brown. Take out and keep them aside. We will add these in at the end.
• Now add the remaining olive oil, garlic and onions to the pot. Sauté for 2 mins. Add mushrooms and sauté for another 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally until they brown.
• Add brown rice, vegetable broth and salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 35-40 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Stir in between starting at about 25 mins.
• When rice is done, add back in the mushrooms kept aside. Add in the optional tablespoon of butter and mix well. Top with green onions.
• Sprinkle some lime juice just before enjoying mushroom pilaf in the bowl and enjoy!

Notes

• Cremini mushrooms and baby Bella mushrooms are the same, regular white button mushrooms will work too.
• If you are using other rice, such as white basmati or jasmine rice, that can work, however reduce the cooking time depending on the rice you choose. For example, cook covered for 15 minutes for white rice.
• If you are using Better Than Bouillon base to make broth, you may want to skip adding salt.

• With a small, sharp paring knife, score the steak(s) on both sides.
• Combine all the marinade ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth. Place the steak(s) in a large, re-sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Press out the air, seal the bag, and marinate at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
• Prepare the coals on the grill until they are glowing red, with a white ash around them. Drain and discard the marinade and place the steak 4inches over the coals. Sear quickly, about 3 to 4minutes on each side
• Move the steak away from the direct heat, cover the grill, and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 135o F, about 7 to 10minutes longer. Remove the steak from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
