This week - Cold Chicken Noodle Bowl and Creamy Zucchini Orzo

Cold Chicken Noodle Bowl - This was pretty good, and I liked how easy it was (although it was no cook you really still had to cook the rice noodle but still pretty easy).  I only used one of the limes as I find generally the lemon/limes juice that they call for in recipes is too much.  I also didn't add the radishes as I don't like them.  I think the recipe shoul dhave said remove skin from chicken (I did this and I rinsed under warm water to remove any bits of congealed fat).  Solid nice hot day dinner. 

Creamy Zucchini Orzo - Edible (for me not so much for my husband).  I think in general I don't like the "One pot" pasta dishes.  I think it makes the pasta and the sauce too gummy (kind of like old school chicken tetrazinni or something gross like that).  I think they could improve if they still did one pot but had you drain the pasta and then just cook everything in the pot after you drain.  Maybe if I do another one of these that is what I will do (I did think about it for this one). 

Sorry no pictures again but really neither of these was particularly attractive.
