Unrefined Cane Sugar is made from dried whole sugar juice, ground to create a very fine, granular sugar that can be substituted in a 1:1 ratio for refined sugars.

Because it has not been cooked at high heat and the molasses has not been separated from the sugar, it has nutritional value—unlike refined sugars, which have none.

[cinnbar-bun]

hi hi this has to be my favorite one piece writing blog, seriously ur writing makes me so happy 😭🖤

not sure if i can request multiple characters but do you mind if i can get general sfw/nsfw headcanons for jinbe and brook?

sorry i really like weird old men (again love your writing and i hope you have a very nice day!!!!!)

A/n: Aw thank you sweetheart. Please enjoy this~! Also, sorry for not posting for a bit, I’ve been exhausted from work and lost some motivation to write oneshots :( but I just love Brook so much so I had to do this.

Brook + Jinbei General SFW + NSFW HCs

Note: separate relationships, reader is GN, smut headcanons inside. Fluffy mmm.

Word Count: 874

Brook

Brook, ever the performer, loves waking you up or lulling you to sleep with his music. Heck, he’ll even burst out into song throughout the day for you if you wish. He’s your 24/7 skeletal radio.

Sometimes he also does freestyle music and makes up lyrics and beats on the spot about whatever you’re doing or how he feels. They’re usually cheesy and not all that serious, but they never fail to lift your spirits up.

Brook likes to be dramatic in your presence to get some attention from you. Sometimes he’s like a spoiled baby but he can’t help it- you’re too amazing!! And he loves you so much!!

If you’re ever feeling too hot, Brook will always put a hand to your head or elsewhere to help you cool down with his devil fruit powers. He’s your not so little walking ice pack.

Brook, while eccentric, is still an old man at heart so he often likes to treat you and spoil you the old-fashioned way. Kneeling on the main deck as you’re on the top deck while he performs you sweet sonnets and ballads he made just for you. Always wanting to keep an arm around your waist. Walking on the street side of the sidewalk. Buying you flowers at any given moment.

He’s a charming gentleman, and it’s very clear when it comes to you.

That being said, he can still be a pervert and it’s full force for you.

He goes gaga over your body! Literally loses his soul when he even gets a peek of you because ??? Hello??? You’re beautiful??

Beyond just sexually, he adores your body. It’s hard for him to explain the feeling but ever since he’s become just a pile of bones, he’s found a greater appreciation for the human body.

When he’s in bed with you, he wants to explore every inch and crevice of your body. Don’t get shy on him now, it’s not like he even has eyes to stare at you, YOHOHOHO!

Kidding, but really, when you two are getting intimate, he focuses on you and your reactions a great deal. He can’t have sex with you the way a human would, so most of his pleasure is derived from your enjoyment- yeah, he’s still got it.

His phalanges are god tier, argue with the wall!!!

Jinbei

Local dad-friend to the crew, loyal husband to you. You might not even be married but you might as well be, that’s just how sweet he is.

He really likes trying new things with you. Even something as small as a new ice cream flavor makes him happy. It’s rather silly and mundane, but something about doing it with you makes it feel wonderful.

“‘Cereal milk’…? There’s really a flavor for that?!”

And alongside new things, he likes to make traditions for the two of you. He’s a very sentimental man, so it can end up being something like eating that one specific dish you two had on your first date, or having a spot on the ship to sit and cuddle.

Jinbei makes sure you get a healthy amount of fruit in you. He will be casually leaving you a plate of freshly cut fruits and a glass of water beside you. He’s not letting you devoid yourself of essential nutrients and hydration. Will force feed you if necessary.

Okay this is just my headcanon but he’s got old man eyes so if something is in smaller fonts he squints and holds the page up to his face to try and read it. It isn’t until you offer to just read it for him that he FINALLY gives in and has you read it for him.

He’s got a great laugh. A hearty, jovial laugh that anyone in the crew can hear from miles away. Honestly, your jokes might not even be that good, but to him, it’s hilarious. Just being so carefree and funny like this is special to him. Your jokes and funny faces seriously make his day, so please never feel embarrassed to tell him one.

I don’t have a segue for this. He is just a big boy.

And yeah, he knows that he’s huge, which is why he takes extra care to make sure you’re properly stretched and ready to take him.

He never really put too much thought into his body beyond his strength, but he has to admit, he loves when you shower attention and compliment his body. Especially in the bedroom, his face just warms up and he gets a bit prideful. It gets him going knowing his body turns you on so much.

Gentle giant. He’s not going to go feral on you, especially not during the first few times you two lay together. He may consider that sort of thing later, alongside many safety measures.

He does enjoy doggy, but also, he finds it so sexy when you ride him. Forward or reverse, it doesn’t matter. It’s also a pretty good compromise because he can let you set a pace while joining with you to get it “rougher” if you so wish.

Lots and lots of praise from Jinbei, all whispered lovingly into your ear as he’s pounding into you <3

Life on Mount silver

You live secludedly at the Foothills of Mount Silver. Not all of the mountain is covered in snow. There are beautiful fields of green where the snow melts, giving the plants water and nutrients to thrive. Fertile soil falling from the mountaintop's water eroding the ragged rock into soft, leveled soil perfect for your little cottage and the food you grow to sustain you and your Little livestock animals. You make the wheat and veggies and too delicious bread and home-cooked meals, and the leftover seeds go to your hungry chickens. Your compost bin is filled with nutritious rotting food for the worms you use as bait for to catch fish in the rivers nearby.

Discussing and screams of your chickens had an alarmed you. Abandoning your breakfast you had been cooking on the stove You rush outside your cabin. With a shovel in hand you were prepared for the last time that pesky fox will try to sneak into your chicken pen! When as you get closer do your coop you've noticed the chicken wire you place to keep the natural predators out we're torn and ripped open and your poor little sweet chickens home giant hole in it One thing was for certain. A fox did not do this. Gripping your shovel and standing your ground you sneak around to get a better look at the hole. The creature who made the damage was still there!

A big beast the size of a man perhaps even bigger black fur large ears a snout with razor knife like fangs. Has your chickens seemingly unharmed coward in the corner The beast in front of them laid motionless it's breathing shallow as it laid unconscious. It's black fur soaked in a red as it pooled onto the wooden floor it's formatted with scratches all over its body as if getting out of a huge fight.

Now, seeing as this thing was damaged and beat up. It broke into your chicken coop, yes, but it did not do any harm. You were fair but not a monster. Even so, you couldn't kill the thing even if you tried. You hated to do this, but your last resort was calling animal control or some kind of service that takes care of these kinds of giant beasts. You rush inside to grab your phone, and when you return, the beast is no more, something that puzzles you more. A half-naked man now lay where the beast was.

Confused and rightfully kind of scared, You still helped the man over your shoulders, blood staining your clothes as you carried the man into your house. Now, you were no doctor, but you knew how to do basic first aid, wrapping up his wounds and soaking the bandages in rubbing alcohol before laying him down in your bedroom; your guest room has been occupied with storage at the moment since you were not expecting a visitor. With your breakfast now ruined... You start to work making soup packed full of soft vegetables and nutrients. He woke up upon smelling the delicious dish you were making.

You didn't hear him You didn't see him when you turned around you jumped the man you helped was right there brown eyes staring down at you never realized how tall he was standing there silently. You held a bowl of soup in your hand wanting to give it to him in bed but.... "I-i found you laying in my chicken coop You were hurt but... I see your better now? I made this for you?"You held the ball of soup up to him You heard him hum as he takes it wincing in pain as he holds the bull gently in his hands He forgotes the spoon drinking it straight from the bowl He lets out a growl shaking his head. "It's hot it's, be careful" You speak softly. The Man let's add a home in return blowing on the soup before drinking again.

He was too hurt to go back to where he once was, wherever he was from, so he stayed with you for a while. He did not talk much, really at all. He only told you his name every now and then, making sounds. You've learned very quickly to know what he meant. You've learned that the giant beast you saw in your chicken coop was him when you finally cleared out to the guest room for him to use somehow; when you woke up, you noticed a giant beast wrapping its arms around you, holding you close. When Red tried to call you down as you were yelling and freaking out, he changed into his human form... Realizing that Werecreatures are real was a hard pill to swallow.

Even when you said goodbye to him, Red was a frequent visitor. You don't even know how to get in. You don't remember giving him a key. You would come back from hiking or guarding in your backyard to see a giant wolf sprawled on your carpet, his tail swishing from side to side beside your fireplace, cold to the touch, and his fur dotted with snow.

Red wasn't very affectionate. He would always be in the same room very close to you, but physical affection was foreign to him. All he would do was lean against you or touch you in some way, and that was enough for him. But you did notice that even when his face would stay blank, his tail would make slight movements. He was a dog, after all, less of a wolf and more of a golden retriever, even with his scary face. And Red happily lets you play with his ears, tail, and fur.

Red came over a lot, It was nice to have a visitor. And red light that he could sleep in an actual bed instead of wherever he could find on Mount silver. Every time he would come over unannounced or announced by a knock on the door It was almost as if you read his mind having extra dinner prepared or the guest room prepared for his stay. And when he would come over with cuts and scratches from tussling with a big animal you would be there to patch his wounds.

It was obvious that Red was protective over you Even when you're out hiking around Mount silver or trying to find natural herbs spices Red watched you from afar. But he didn't notice that other eyes were on you a mountain lion it's claws gripping The Rock it was hiding behind it's paws and thumbs flexing its claws aching to feel flesh around them. The big creature leaped tackling you to the ground. It's tail whipping around You were terrified too terrified to scream You only saw a blur of black and red tackling the mountain lion off you. The two of them tumbled it looked less like a fight to the death and more of play fighting. Red quickly overpowered the lion has it laid out of breath and exhausted on the ground You saw it change its shape to a more human form "so this is what you've been hiding from me?" The human panted giving red a smirk "Buddy how could ya? thought I was closer to you than that!" You flinched one the man stepped closer to you. "Names Blue. Sorry about all that, just felt like play'n. Cuz I'm a big cat and all."He seemed so nonchalant giving you a cheeky smile. "Seems like you already met Red. He don't talk a lot so he doesn't make friends easily so how the hell did he get a pretty human like you huh?" Red still in his wolf form slapped Blue across the head when he called you pretty. "What I can't call your little secret pretty?"

You are patching up blue is wounds later glaring at Red for biting him.

Now you have two giant were animals showing up on announced You didn't know taking in a man would lead to you waking up with a giant were cat pawing at you for food in the middle of the night or him on top of your roof laying in the sun. And Red inside your house laying as usual spot near the fire or in your garden watching your chickens.

Overprotective (Part 1)

Based off of this post It all came to a head with The Incident™.

You were frustrated, having just left Levi's room. You'd brought him a series that you thought he'd love, it was much more like some of the stuff he used to be into, which had heartbreak and drama, but you'd heard it had a good resolution, even if it was sad. But the second things started turning sour emotionally, he began to panic. And when he asked if you knew what would happen, and you said "I've heard about the ending, but I saved actually knowing it for you", you didn't expect what he did next. He stopped the show and took the DVD out. This started a long fight that you barely understood. Him being upset that you weren't 'taking care of yourself', and you being upset that he was trying to micro-manage what you watched! You even jabbed at him telling him that "Avoiding the sad stuff isn't healthy!" which only made him more upset. You didn't understand why, so you just left. You ran into Asmodeus, who started worrying about the stress you were visibly under. Stress isn't good for one's health. He first asked if you wanted to take a soothing bath with him, which you shrugged off, thinking that would be the end of it. But it wasn't. He kept badgering you to let him help you destress. It started very flirty at first... Until it became desperate. You continued to decline, and he became more worried, which caught Satan's attention. When Satan heard you were stressed out, several stress-related illnesses flashed through his memory and he became very serious trying to give you other options. If anything, their insistence on controlling another aspect of your life was making it worse. You were on the verge of exploding when Belphegor came around. You called out to him, but he turned right around and walked away. You frustratedly chased after him, but when you turned the corner he disappeared behind, he was gone. Instead, you found Mammon. With the shadiest bag of vitamins you've ever seen. No label, just some random supplement in a plastic bag. "You want some vitamins?" The sight would have made you laugh a week ago, but right now, it was just frustrating. "No! I want everyone to stop badgering me! And for Belphegor to stop AVOIDING me!" "Sounds like you could eat. Lemme cook you up something." Mammon was the one who was the best at reaching out. He'd been slyly learning how to cook on the side, so he could get more veggies and fruits into your diet. And the food he's learned to cook was really yummy. Begrudgingly, you accept, and he takes you to the kitchen, also giving Asmo and Satan a covert thumbs up. The two let him take care of you, seeing that your stress instantly began to melt at the idea of food. That is.. Until you got to the kitchen. Mammon begins pulling out veggies and fruit to make you a few dishes, but Beelzebub keeps hovering around to try to control your portions. No matter how much you told him it was insulting, he just couldn't bring himself to stop worrying. Mammon always makes you too much food, seeing as how he keeps trying to pack in the nutrients like they're going to culminate in prolonging your life indefinitely. Once again, you're pissed, and this time with new vigor. You finally storm out of the kitchen and out of the house, only to see Lucifer coming in from the walkway. And he's blinded by how dangerous it is for you to walk around Devildom alone. He tells you as much and you just shout "WELL I HOPE I DIE THEN, BECAUSE IT'D BE BETTER THAN THIS HELLSCAPE" while trying to brush past him in frustration. You didn't even mean the words, but no one had been listening to you and no one was giving you a chance to control anything in your life without supervision. They've been so controlling and so accidentally belittling, making you feel less-than, making you feel like a child in a house without love. Part 2

[sunday-halovian]

*In about half an hour, Aventurine pushes Sunday's door open, carrying a tray topped with squares of chocolate tiffin.*

*The blonde has been careful to use digestive biscuits to pack some extra nutrients into the squares, as well as adding dried cranberries and raisins. The chocolate icing is dark, probably hinting at a large portion of its primary ingredient.*

I'm back! Turns out I didn't use the oven after all~ *Aventurine giggles to himself.* Sorry it took so long! I wanted to wash all the dishes I used.

*He places the tray on the side table, lifting up a couple squares with a spatula and placing them onto a plate before handing it to Sunday.*

You know, when you said you might not have everything, I still had a lot to work with! Some things I've never even seen before, it was interesting~ The kitchen is so pretty, too! So large and spacious... *Aventurine seems to notice he's rambling, clearing his throat and setting the spatula down on the tray beside the tiffin.*

Anyways... let me know what you think~!

~ @aventurine-official

[As he came in, Sunday was lying down, a hand over his eyes as he tried to focus on other things. He sat up as he was handed the pate.]

It is a manor in the dreamscape. Were you expecting it to be small?

[cursedcola]

May i request savanaclaw or heartslabyul with a baker s/o? In hcs format pretty plz 🙏

A/N: I went overboard. Again.

Prompt: Savanaclaw members with a Baker! S/O Characters: Leona Kingscholar, Ruggie Bucci, and Jack Howl Warnings: None!

Leona Kingscholar

Leona's perspective on having a baker! s/o depends on how much they identify with the title. Is it a hobby? Are you passionate about it? Is becoming a professional baker your dream career?

Many people can cook, but the art being a part of the person's identity is what matters. For example: Lilia Vanrouge. Everyone acquainted with the pipsqueak knows that he isn't capable of simply boiling water. Leona's been subjected to his, "creations," since the pungent scent overtakes the entirety of campus and lingers for days. Yet, Lilia enjoys cooking. He puts in effort and so -no matter how infuriating it is to admit- he deserves some respect as a chef.

If you identify with the title then he is extremely supportive. He pushes you to make treats that you have never tired before, and offers to "rate," them. He wants you to improve, and also likes being the first to taste your creations. Even if it makes Grimm mad; no, ESPECIALLY if it makes Grimm mad.

Leona discovers his s/o's interest early on before becoming an official couple. Ruggie was too late in swiping Leona's favorite menchi katsu sandwich from the cafeteria. A familiar scene occurred with Grimm snagging the last one, but this time he ate it before Ruggie could use his special spell. The Ramshackle prefect had taken pity and offered up their own lunch.

"The heck is this?" Leona said, when Ruggie tossed a lunch pale covered in your scent into his lap. Leona's nose flared at the intrusion, and Ruggie merely shrugged it off. The lion opened the pale with a huff, and inside was a bowl of chicken soup with a chunk of baguette on the side. Below it all was a fruit tart in a plastic container.

He would much rather have his sandwich, but it would have to do. Everything was clearly homemade and if it tasted horrible then Leona could tease them later.

The flavor? Better than anything he's had in a long while. The baguette is first to go and he eats everything in silence. For Leona, that is a big seal of approval.

Imagine Ruggie's surprise when Leona demands your food the next day. Now imagine your face when finding out. Grimm is not having it! Your delicacies are only for him-

To make some extra cash, you end up making Leona's lunches every day. Always with some new baked treat and eventually you know all of his preferences. Then you begin to spend all of lunch together, and soon you become his s/o.

Leona loves your food. Even if it isn't to his tastes he will still eat it and compliment it. He never shares either, and has fought someone for ruining his packed lunch before.

The only person who Leona has ever given your food to is Cheka, and only when he near cried.

Ruggie Bucci

How resourceful are you with your baking? Ruggie may want to learn some tips and tricks. He likes to cook, although he does it out of necessity rather than passion. It is not that he dislikes it, but most of the recopies Ruggie knows are focused on getting nutrients with minimal waste. If you are willing to teach him some new tricks then he will barter down the price of ingredients, deal?

As his S/O, one surefire way to flatter Ruggie is by baking him something. Why? You are sharing with him. It's so domestic. Where he comes from that's something you only do for your kin. You are taking care of him with no ulterior motive.

Ruggie discovered your love for baking when he was in trouble.

After every spell drive match, Savanaclaw hosts a feast for its students as a reward. It is by no means fancy, and most of the dishes featured are carb or protein based. Plenty of pasta, meat, bread, beans, and some sugary treats. Nothing like the fancy parties hosted at Heartslabyul.

All Ruggie's responsibility to prepare. The job would normally fall to the housewarden....but, no. Leona is unfortunately not the best to manage dorm funds and resources. He also doesn't cook.

The issue? He caught a stomach bug. With the match tomorrow and a day to prepare, Ruggie failed to do much when running to-and-from the restroom. Normally he would give up and let his dorm rot, but you were supposed to be joining tomorrow.

"P-prefect? What are y-you doing here?" he tried not sound pained and failed miserably. Taking note of his state and the ingredients in the kitchen, you sent him away with promises to take care of the situation. Who was he to look a gift horse in the mouth?

Never mind that his *cough* "recent infatuation" just saw him vulnerable and took over his work. Now he has a day to try and not perish.

Next day? They win their match by a landslide, and Ruggie found himself sparing many glances at the not-so-subtle, "Go Savanaclaw!" sign in the stands. Or was it the fool waving it around that caught his attention? What idiot cheers for a dorm that isn't theirs?

He grew excited to taunt you during dinner. If not about the sign, then to cover up his embarrassment from yesterday. Yet his mischievous side takes the back seat when his team is welcomed back to a full buffet. The scent of freshly baked buns hits his nose. A meat paradise is laid flat on a platter, with different kinds of sandwich rolls surrounding the arrangement. One table over is a pasta bar, with different noodles, sauces, and cheeses ready to be arranged. Next is sides. From baked potatoes, to cornbread, to toasted bagels. The shining star is the table of sweet pastries with a cake in the center decorated in the team's colors. There was enough food to feed the dorm's students for at least three days.

That celebration was better than any Ruggie has hosted. He expected you to prepare the bare minimum, not dedicate two entire days to his dorm. Even Leona was impressed, and every student in the dorm dubbed you a (god/goddess)

Needless to say, Ruggie loves your baking talent. It saved him some trouble, and your willingness to share it is something he likes about you.

Jack Howl

Jack noticed your baking affinity the moment you became friends. Compared to his two seniors, Jack has the advantage of being in the "freshman club". Meaning that prior to your relationship, he spent much time at your side by default. He's the only freshman of his race and keen sense of smell. You always smelled of freshly baked treats, and Ramshackle reeked of vanilla extract. Even in class, your scent would stand out among everyone else. At one point he developed a game of guessing what you had baked by your scent.

Jack is also a very observant person. Sometimes there would be bandages on your fingers, likely hiding oven burns. Your arms were muscular, a sign of regularly kneading dough. Sometimes there would be a tinge of flour on your pants, and your affinity at getting accurate ingredient measurements in alchemy class did not go unnoticed.

The nail in the coffin is how you feed everyone around you. Whenever there is a gathering you always bring in a treat, yet never specify where it is from. Everyone enjoys it, and Jack becomes more taken with your face lights up at their compliments rather than his own portion. He nearly forgets to eat, until you stare at him expectantly.

"It's pretty good. What's in it again?" he chomps it down with a huff, his tail swishing behind him at each bite. His favorite days are the ones his nose guesses your treat correctly, and he gets to taste what he was dreaming about since morning.

Jack is a big guy too. He burns calories like nothing with his active lifestyle, so he's more than willing to gobble up anything you make. He has no preferences so long as it is your cooking. The moment you draw near and he gets a look at the package? It's all over. His heart is bursting with affection and he's dying for a bite.

With a baker s/o, it's likely that he blurts out his confession while eating something that you made. He does well to hide his thoughts and desires. Yet, giving thanks is something Jack is not shy about. He always uses his manners when accepting one of your treats. With it becoming routine, he'd notice that you begin to take note of his preferences. Baking things that remind him of his home or that he prefers after his workouts.

That's when he gets a loose-lip. His inner-thoughts of how he loves your treats and never wants you to go away slip out. Then he makes it worse, trying to take it back in a haste.

"No! No, I don't mean that. Wait- no, I do love the things you make but you don't have to keep giving them to me. Wait! Wait- no, please don't stop giving me them they make my day -you make my day- I swear. WAIT-"

Help him.

I’ve seen a few AUs and arts of a Genshin x Omori and have even wanted to do one myself, but it seems like you’ve done really good with this..... I like it!! (If it’s okay... can I see the rest?

Poor xiao really needs to eat more. He's so skinny even short lumine can carry him.

"Well, Almond tofu isn't exactly the most protein-packed dish out there. Unfortunately, most meals which provide a lot of calories and nutrients are also fairly heavy so I can't imagine he'd enjoy those."

The blonde put one hand underneath her chin.

"Hm...Perhaps I could make my own spin on the Adeptus' Temptation dish and substitute the fatty ham for something like plain tofu which still has the protein but isn't as heavy on the stomach."

"Eeeeh~~? But the ham is the best part! It gives off so much umami flavor!"

"It's for Xiao, remember? Not for you..."

Creamy Chicken Orzo with Mushrooms and Spinach (30-Minutes, ONE-PAN)

Creamy Chicken Orzo with Mushrooms and Spinach is a 30-minute one-pan well-balanced weeknight meal that has everything: protein, veggies, and pasta! Skinless boneless chicken thighs are pan-seared with paprika and Italian seasoning. It's the perfect comfort food that will surely become one of your family's favorite dinners! My other favorite quick and easy orzo pasta recipes are pesto chicken orzo with tomatoes and reader-favorite Tuscan shrimp orzo.

30-minute one-pan meal

If you're looking for quick and easy recipes to add to your dinner rotation, this delicious creamy chicken orzo with mushrooms and spinach is a must-try. Even though it takes only 30 minutes from start to finish, the final dish looks and tastes like an entree from a fine-dining Italian restaurant. It's a winning combo of ingredients: skinless boneless chicken breasts, orzo pasta, spinach, mushrooms, and cream. The seasonings are spot on - paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Main ingredients

Chicken - I used skinless boneless chicken thighs. They are super easy and forgiving to cook. You can also use skinless, boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins.

Orzo is an Italian pasta that is shaped and looks like long rice.

Mushrooms. I used fresh baby Bella mushrooms. Other good options are crimini, white mushrooms, portobello, or shiitake.

Spinach is packed with nutrients and antioxidants. It’s high in fiber and a good source of many vitamins and minerals. Spinach is a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as folic acid, iron, and calcium. I used fresh spinach - you can also use frozen spinach - thawed and drained of any liquid. Or, use kale instead.

Seasonings include paprika, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes.

Cream. I used only ½ cup of heavy cream to add a touch of creaminess to the chicken orzo.

Olive oil is for sauteeing mushrooms.

Chicken broth is used to cook the orzo. You can also use vegetable or beef broth (or stock). Or, even water if don't have chicken stock available.

Cooking Tips

Use a high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet such as a cast-iron skillet or a good-quality stainless steel pan. This will help avoid the burn spots and will ensure even cooking without food getting stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Reduce calories by using chopped cauliflower or cauliflower rice instead of orzo.

You can use either heavy cream or half-and-half - both work equally well!

Toppings. When serving, you can add grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, or cracked black pepper to the creamy chicken orzo.

Ingredients

Chicken

1.3 lb skinless boneless chicken thighs

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon salt or to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Mushrooms

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 oz baby bella mushrooms or crimini

salt and pepper

Creamy orzo

1 cup orzo uncooked

2 cups chicken broth or stock

5 cloves garlic minced

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs from Provence

½ teaspoon paprika or more

¼ teaspoon salt or more to taste

5 oz fresh spinach

½ cup heavy cream

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste

Instructions 

Cook chicken

Season the chicken thighs with Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt.

Heat an empty, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet (such as a cast-iron or stainless steel pan) over medium heat for 2 minutes. This allows the skillet to heat through.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chicken thighs. Cook the chicken on medium heat for 5 minutes on one side, undisturbed. This allows the chicken to sear.

Flip the chicken thighs over, reduce heat to low-medium, and cook for about 5 more minutes or longer on the other side, without moving it, until it's cooked through.

The meat thermometer should register 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

Cook mushrooms

Add sliced mushrooms, generously seasoned with salt and pepper, to the same, now empty, skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes (flipping once) until lightly browned and softened. Remove half of the cooked mushrooms from the skillet to a plate.

Make creamy orzo

Add uncooked orzo, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the same skillet with half of the cooked mushrooms.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer (medium-low) and cook for about 5 or 10 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan until the orzo is cooked through.

Add fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking the orzo.

Add ½ cup of cream. Stir everything on low-medium - do not bring the sauce to a boil.

Season with salt and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Assembly

Stir in the remaining half of cooked mushrooms.

Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Reheat gently on low heat.

[acti-veg]

just out of curiosity what are your three most frequently eaten meals? mine are beans and rice, noodles veggies and sauce, and fake nuggets but i want to branch out

This is very dull but my most frequently eaten meal is my breakfast shake just because I have it most days. That’s usually just oats, chia seeds, banana, peanut butter, vanilla protein powder and water. It tastes good and is an easy and pretty cheap way to pack in a lot of protein and nutrients at the start of the day. I also have Huel for my work lunches most weekdays.

Aside from that, I eat a lot of tofu. I freeze it and defrost during the day so I don’t have to drain it, and use the air fryer so it’s very easy to prepare and serve with rice, noodles, veg etc. I usually make my own simple sauces to go on it or marinate it in. Dubu Jorim, salt and pepper tofu and a non-traditional version of Vietnamese tomato tofu are regular rotations.

Otherwise a lot of my meals are really basic, just a protein source like seitan, lentils, chickpeas or beans with some sort of grain and veg. I mostly just make different meals with the same basic ingredients, so these sorts of things can make soups, a curry, a noodle dish, chilli, stir fry etc. I seldom follow any recipes, I usually just throw in what I have with some spices.

Alphas & Algorithms - Part 5 - Second date

A/N: Continued from Part 4. Reader is female and is described as "tall". No other descriptors.

Warnings: It is a Dystopian AU. Food scarcity, hunger, mentions of families being separated. Please let me know if I missed any!

--Part 1-- --Part 6--

--Series Masterlist--

“Hello Curtis,” Y/N calls from the kitchen as he walks through the door to her apartment. “Come on in and have a seat. I’ve cooked something a little less rich this time that should help keep your body from crashing. Again, I’m very sorry about that.”

Curtis walks towards the little dining table and sits, “you don’t need to apologize. You had no idea. And we got our rations delivered this morning. Thank you for keeping your promise.”

“Well no one should have to go without a full complement of nutrients,” Y/N brings over a couple plates of spaghetti with meatballs and sits with him. “Would you like some shredded cheese to go with?”

“Umm,” Curtis hesitates, “whichever option you’re going with. We’re already out of my depth here.”

“Oh,” Y/N stops, “I’m so…” “Please,” Curtis interrupts. “Please don’t say you’re sorry. You didn’t know, now you do.”

“Thank you, again, for your patience with me,” Y/N smiles. Curtis’s inner Alpha has started to like making her smile. It’s something he knows he’s going to have to be careful with. 

“Do you mind if we talk while we eat,” he asks.

“Not at all! I’m happy to listen. You just might need to wait for responses until I’ve finished my bite of food,” Y/N chuckles. 

Curtis can’t help but smile back, “thank you.” Y/N’s inner Omega practically preens at being able to make the Alpha smile. She knows it’s genuine and she’s delightfully surprised. 

The two talk over dinner about the kinds of benefits his Pack could receive. Curtis’s priority was clearly the health and well-being of the pups. Y/N promised to look more into the matter but she was sure that one of the benefits the Pack would receive was that none of the pups would ever be recruited to be Emotional Support Betas. She was able to confirm they would receive better education, better access to food, supplies and housing. 

When dinner was finished Curtis insisted on helping with the dishes. He wasn’t used to being taken care of and couldn’t just sit at the table while she cleaned, especially when she’d also cooked. He got a good whiff of her kitchen and almost coughed at the myriad of herbs and spices he’d never smelled before. They stood next to each other at the sink, her washing, him rinsing, and he found himself drawn to the calmness of her scent. Warm vanilla was quite comforting amongst the strange, almost overpowering smells of the kitchen. 

“So, what other questions do you have,” Y/N asked, hands busy with the dishes to distract herself from how close she was to him, how good he smelled. 

“Do you think I can meet Jake? He’s a big part of your life, practically your Pack. It’d feel wrong to not meet him.”

“Yes, of course,” Y/N replied excitedly. “Just not today. He’s using our date as an excuse to go on a date with another Beta. She’s really sweet and I hope it goes well.”

Curtis nodded, trying to focus on the dishes, trying to figure out how to proceed safely.

“Are you okay,” Y/N asked. “Is something agitating you?”

“Um,” Curtis panicked. “I think it’s the herbs and spices you’ve got in here. It’s a lot of smells I’ve never smelled before. How do you not get overwhelmed? You’re super sensitive to scents.”

“It’s two-fold, really. The first part is that I’m used to them. I spend a lot of time in here, so I’ve developed a kind of tolerance. If we were out in the hallways and there were a bunch of these scents out there it would certainly throw me for a loop. The second part is that I can identify the individual scents. From the spicy cinnamon to the bittersweet dong quai and even the sharp peppermint. Knowing what they are is a significant help to not letting them overwhelm me.”

“You may want to swap them out a bit. One of them is smelling like it’s going bad.”

“Oh that’s probably the black kohosh. It smells pretty bad in herb form but the taste when used in tea is actually pretty calming and earthy.”

“Huh. Next time I visit, would you be willing to make some tea? Help me learn about this plethora of smells?”

“You…you actually want to meet up again?”

“Yeah. You’re surprised?”

“Heh, I was certain you were going to come back and tell me, at some point tonight, that you weren’t interested,” Y/N gives a soft smile. “It’s nice to be wrong about something and have it be a good thing. Thank you.”

“Well, nothing’s set in stone,” Curtis quickly rebuts. “But I’m interested in learning more about what kind of life I’d have here.”

“True. Very true,” Y/N nods her head. “I could give you a tour of places in the building you’d be allowed to visit but…but there is a catch.”

Curtis notes the nervousness in her scent and asks her what she means. She hesitates as she passes him another dish to rinse and he gently presses her to tell him.

“I…for safety, I…I have to give you a temporary mark,” she rushes out the last part. “I will absolutely understand if you’re not up for that. It’s a lot to ask of you. But it would be for your safety. You’d be an unknown, unclaimed Alpha and it just wouldn’t be safe or responsible of me to put you in potential danger. Or cause potential danger. Some of the other Alphas and Omegas might get territorial. I’m so sorry. Like I said, I’ll understand if it’s a step too far for you.”

Curtis holds her hand, “it’s also just a temporary mark, right? Those things fade after just a day or two and it doesn’t permanently seal me to you, right?”

“Right,” Y/N confirms. “But it can still be quite the show of trust and I don’t know if you’re ready for that.”

“Y/N,” Curtis sighs, “there’s not much in life that I’m certain of. But I am absolutely certain that you would never purposefully hurt me.” Y/N tears up and hugs Curtis tightly, whispering a thank you, as he cautiously, gently, returns the hug. He’s a little nervous because her height gives her access to the mating gland on his neck but he hopes all she smells is the sincerity of his words. He knows. His inner Alpha knows she would never hurt him.

Y/N breaks the hug and comments that she’ll give him a tour after they finish the dishes.
