June's Masterpieces

So I decided that instead of following someone else's how to I wanted to be creative all on my own. This month I made some Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Pesto Pasta. I was more impressed with the Chicken Fried Rice. I will totally make that dish in a heartbeat. The Chicken Pesto Pasta is something that I need to restructure and do over. I am not saying that it was bad, because who wants to say that they made a horrible dish, I am just saying that it could have been a LOT better. A note, the meals below are single serving but just add more in order to accommodate the crowd you are feeding. Well, without further pause here are the creations I made in June.
