Fried Rice

Ya'll need an easy, delicious dinner for the week night that feeds a lot? Make some of this fried rice. It's so easy and makes a great side or just a meal all in it's own.

I made pork chops to go along with it and cut it into chunks and just threw them in at the end and it worked out perfectly. But I took just the leftover fried rice to work with me the next couple of days after that for lunch and I couldn't get enough.

Good tip before you start though is to cook the rice the night before and let it chill in the fridge. Cuts out a lot of time waiting for it to cook and chill.

Minimal ingredients with great flavor! I had pretty much everything I needed in my fridge and pantry (other than green onions) to make this.

Ingredients:
  • 2T butter, divided
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 2 medium carrots, diced into small pieces
  • 1 small onion, diced into small pieces
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed
  • 4 cups cooked and chilled rice
  • 3T soy sauce
  • 2T oyster sauce
  • 1t sesame oil (less is more here people, this can overpower the flavor quickly)
  • green onions for garnish
Let's WOK about it:
  1. Heat 1T of butter into a large skillet (or wok).
  2. Add eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining butter into the pan and add the carrots and onions. Cook until tender.
  4. Stir in garlic and cook for another minutes.
  5. Add in the cold rice and peas, sauté for 3-4 minutes. The rice will brown up a bit.
  6. Add the eggs back into the pan and stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another couple minutes to heat through.
  7. Add green onions to the mixture or add them individually to each serving.
 
Yummm, right? So quick and so good! Maybe mix it up and add some bacon into the mix or whatever protein you deem necessary! Fried tofu would be fantastic!

Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix

Lately I have been eating the HECK out of muddy buddies! Sadly, I can finish a whole bag to myself, no problem. So I figured instead of me always going to the store and buying bags upon bags of muddy buddies, I would figure out a way to make them from home. This little mix is SO much better, only because it has more ingredients in it. So easy and it makes a TON of it! Great fall colors incorporated too, so it'll be fun to make for the kids to pack in their lunch as a "happy going back to school" snack! I hope you LOVE this as much as I do! Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix Ingredients - 4 c golden grahams cereal - 2 c coca puffs cereal - 2 c pretzel stucks - 1 c reeses pieces - 1 c dry-roasted panuts - 10 oz white chocolate baking bars or squares, chopped - 2 T butter - 1/2 c powdered sugar In a large bowl, mix cereals, pretzels, peanut butter candies and peanuts; set aside.

Parmesan Zucchini and Corn

Here we are getting into the fall months and all we want to do is spend our time bundled up in a blanket on the couch with a cup of tea and the Food Network channel on all day...oh wait, maybe that's just me. I ventured out yesterday from my warm, cozy home and went to my cousin's game night, where we played Farkle (such a fun dice game!) and Cards Against Humanity (always a good laugh with this game). It was an appetizer and snack food kind of night, and I knew my sister was coming who just so happens to be a Vegetarian! So I figured I'd cater towards her just in case there wasn't a lot of other options for food (we are a meat loving family). This is so quick to throw together, less than 15 minutes with prep time! And, IT'S DELICIOUS! Kids and adults alike will love this yummy side dish. Bring it as an appetizer or just make it as a side for dinner! Ingredients: 2T olive oil 2 cloves minced garlic 4 zucchini, diced (it's fall, so squash is winding...
