3-for-3: chicken, farro + corn!!

three-for-three: 3 simple things --> 3 family-friendly meals

Last month I introduced a new ‘column’ called THREE-FOR-THREE. It includes 3 simple items you can prepare ahead and then 3 fun, DIFFERENT meals you can turn those items into.

Here was September’s:

🎉🎉 Introducing: three-for-three: 3 simple things --> 3 family-friendly meals

So today I am back with another! This month the 3 are: chicken thighs, farro + corn.

And a few reminders

• All of the food is family-friendly, which is just my way of saying relaxed, simple and tasty.

• Family is up to you to define. It can include kids or animals (or not). It can include multiple generations, spouses or partners, roommates, neighbors….whatever!

• THREE-FOR-THREE is the most true way to show you how I really cook at home and set myself (and my family) up for success every week. What do I mean by success here? I mean having an easygoing relationship with cooking and eating. I mean having dinnertime feel uneventful but not boring.

• My goal with this newsletter, and with all of my work, has always been to help you feel calm + empowered in your kitchen. Why does this matter to me? Because it makes our day-to-day lives less stressful and more connected to each other. I really think THREE-FOR-THREE will help us all feel this way.

• The recipes will always be plentiful and easy to multiply if you’re feeding more people than I am.

• If the recipes aren’t vegetarian, I will give you notes on how to make them vegetarian.

• There will always be notes for more ideas/variations.

• You don’t have to turn the three basic things into the other things. You can just enjoy them as they are!!

• You don’t have to make all three meals — you can use the three components to just make one or two. You can do WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!

• None of this is prescriptive. As with everything I offer, it’s all just a big suggestion.

Recipes/notes for everything and a full grocery list are available for paid subscribers. And a PDF of it all. Want all of that?? Become a paid subscriber today! KC&CO is just $5/month or $50/year (and the price hasn’t changed since I launched the newsletter over three years ago).

A quick newsletter logistic note that I don’t imagine anyone actually cares about, but just for clarity: on weeks when I share “THREE-FOR-THREE” on a Tuesday, that will replace ‘I Love Lunch’ that week. Thursday will still be a grab bag!

---

Make these three simple things:

• Roasted Chicken Thighs

• Steamed Corn

• Simple Farro

And turn them into these three family-friendly meals:

• Chicken Quesadillas with Corn Pico

• Grain Bowls

• Chicken, Farro and Corn Chowder

chicken, corn + farro = so many delicious things!!

Waiting for you!

QUICK NOTE! Just a reminder that you can microwave your corn whole for a few minutes, then cut off the stem end and carefully slide the corn through its husk (use a towel! it’s hot!) — all of the silks will be left behind. A small victory if I ever saw one.
