Three years after everything fell apart… real food is getting harder to find.

Stores are empty. Prices are out of control. And most people are relying on whatever they can get their hands on.

But if there’s one thing left worth holding onto—it’s knowing how to cook something real.

In Part 1 of this series, we’re starting simple:
A budget-friendly, flavorful meal that proves you don’t need much to make something worth eating.

Creamy Poblano Chicken over Rice.

It’s cheap, it’s filling, and it actually tastes like real food.

Stay tuned… this is just the beginning.

🛒 Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts (or 4 small)
3 poblano peppers
1 cup rice (uncooked)
2 cups chicken broth (or water + bouillon)
1/2 onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream (or half & half)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Mexican blend)
4 oz cream cheese

1/2 tsp cumin

3. Cook the Chicken
