Below is the culmination of my Multimedia work. Within each of my cooking blogs you will find both the recipe and cost of the recipe in their descriptions. In the description of my journalist videos and song covers is a detailed explanation of the making of each video. The trials and errors I encountered during the making of all my videos have only bettered my process and understanding of visual communication and storytelling.
So today’s recipe is special from my dad 🤗✨ I don’t have a name for this rice that he cooks so I’ll just describe it, it’s basically a creamy rice with spinach and bell pepper — it has other things in it too but those are the flavors that really come through! I hope you enjoy the video and try cooking this yourself at home! It only cost me about 15 dollars to make, so not too expensive, and about 30-45min to cook! If you want to give this one a go I have the recipe detailed out (written by my dad) below!😋

Ingredients:
1 bag of Spinach
2 cups of Chicken broth
8 oz of Heavy Whipping Cream
2 cups of rice
1 bunch of cilantros
1 bunch of green onions
2 large Red Bell Peppers
1 stick of butter
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of avocado oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of black peppers
Pinch of dried basil
Handheld blender
Add the avocado/olive oil to a small pot and heat up
Add the minced garlic
Add ½ cup of chopped Cilantro
Add chopped green onions
Add chopped Red Bell Pepper
Add Salt, pepper, and Basil
After heating them up and stirring them up add:
Chicken broth let it simmer for 30 minutes
After it simmers add 8 oz of Heavy whipping cream
Use a handheld blender and blend all ingredients
Add 2 cups of white rice
4 cups of water
Half a stick of butter
Salt
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.
As the rice comes close to being ready add the bag of spinach and 1/2 butter to the top of the rice. When the spinach looks steamed, turn off. Then add the whipped sauce that is now a reddish orange color to the rice and spinach. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and serve.
Enjoy!
This French lentil soup was made following the recipe from the website www.daringgourmet.com. The ingredients only cost $15 and the process took about 25 minutes to create the soup.
This soup came out thicker and tastier than I anticipated. The lentils really add flavor and texture and all the vegetables really come through. The addition of parsley to this recipe also added a nice layer to the flavor, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try!

It’s a French dish (obviously) and It tasted really good 😋 All of the vegetables and fresh herbs cost about $20. Do not be deceived by the fact that this dish is only vegetables though, with all the fresh herbs and spices it packed a lot of flavor and was very filling.
