Yeah, so I'm not exactly sure what to call this dish. But, it is delicious. So delicious, this is the only picture of it I was able to get. And also so delicious I wanted to record the recipe so I can make it again. I feel like I've said that before. Bonus: It's cow-dairy-free! We were given a huge squash. I don't know the name of it. I would say it was the size of a pumpkin but that would not be helpful as those come in all sizes. It was about the size of a basketball. Wait. Those are various sizes too. A big basketball. Probably a bit bigger. It was pale green with white-ish "warts." Hansome butchered and baked it for me then I took it from there. He hinted at a pie. I was thinking soufflé. So, I came up with something in between. I was thinking a graham cracker crust would be easy, but I wanted easier. So I just used whole graham crackers  to line the bottom and sides of a baking dish.  (The ones from Trader Joe's that are smaller, thicker, dark

Not eating (cow) dairy makes it difficult to create a yummy, smooth, creamy chicken and rice dish. (Yes, I could make my own cream of x soup using goat milk, but that's like making two meals and only eating one.) Enter the pressure cooker. I put this together last night because I wanted to start it and walk away. Now I'm writing this so I don't forget what I did, because it was scrumptious! Creamy-without-the-Cream Chicken and Rice 2 cups brown basmati rice 4 cups water 1 red onion, chopped 1 pound baby carrots 2 pounds FROZEN cubed RAW chicken (yes!) That's it! I simply put all these ingredients into the cooker, set the timer for 16 minutes, then walked away. An hour later, I opened the lid, stirred it up and put it on the table! After it had been on for a while, I remembered that I had not put any seasoning in the pot. Not even salt. Oops. At the table I offered salt, pepper, Trader Joe's Garlic Salt, and Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning as toppers.
