I am back from a much needed break. We had so much fun visiting with our family, relaxing, reading, playing games, eating and going to the ocean. I cooked a bunch of old favorites that we haven't had for a long time - I forgot how much I loved them.
This recipe is really simple and easy to make. I decided to try flavoring the orzo by cooking it with some chicken bouillon and I must say it was so tasty and flavorful! The whole dish was healthy, quick and delicious and we all really loved it. My husband took the leftovers to work and said it was really good the next day too.
