Community Scan – Outdoor Festivals & Fun

It’s time for the annual Saint Paul Winter Carnival. Here’s a brief history to get you in the right frame of mind:

Since 1886, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival continues to bring family-friendly events and community pride to Saint Paul and the Twin Cities metro area.

The Saint Paul Winter Carnival is the oldest winter festival in the United States. It predates the Tournament of Roses Festival by two years.

Several Eastern newspaper correspondents kindled the start of the Winter Carnival by visiting Saint Paul in the fall of 1885 and returning home to report that Minnesota, in general, was another Siberia, unfit for human habitation.

And the rest? History, of course!

Recipe of the Month: Cozy & Nutritious Slow Cooker Chicken Wild Rice

This recipe comes to use from Jenna, an essential part of our clinic team! This dish is packed with protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-rich vegetables, making it a perfect winter meal for the whole family. Plus, the fragrant herbs give it a comforting, fresh flavor that everyone will love.

Here’s what is inside:

15-minute prep time – Crazy simple and fast!

5-8 hour cook time

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4-5 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and diced (or one bag of baby carrots)
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter or ghee
  • ¼ cup flour of choice
  • 2 cups milk of choice

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken into a 4 or 6-qt slow cooker.
  2. Stir in chicken bone broth, wild rice, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, thyme, rosemary; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours (or high for 4-5)
  3. Shred chicken in the slow cooker, it should easily fall apart. I use tongs and it shreds nicely!
  4. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  5. Stir milk mixture into the slow cooker. If the soup is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
