Fried Rice with Eggs

Easy, Quick, and Yummy

Steps:

1. Make the rice in the rice cooker. I have a 5 cup Tiger Asian rice steamer; I usually make about 2 cups, adding water to about the 3rd line. My rice cooker takes about 15mins to cook the rice.

2. Once the once is cooked, scramble and fry the eggs then set the eggs to the side. How much eggs you make is up to you. (If you don't want eggs, skip this step)

3. Next, in a wok or large enough frying pan put in a little oil. Once the oil is hot pour in the frozen vegetables. You can use any kind of frozen veggies, I like the one with corn, carrots, beans, and peas. How much veggies you use is up to you.

4. Once the frozen veggies are ready throw in your rice. If your wok or pan does not fit all your rice, I suggest you cook 1/2 the rice first. For a family of four I typically use about 1/2 to 2/3 of my cooked rice; enough for a meal. I usually don't make the full 2 cups of rice.


5. Once you have added the rice to the frozen veggies turn the heat to medium. Sprinkle 1/2 of the fried rice mix (bought from Woodmans) and add some soy sauce then stir. After the first stir add the rest of the fried rice mix and add some more soy sauce then stir again. Once you're done with the second stir turn off the heat. Taste the fried rice, if it's not salty enough for you then you can add more soy sauce or regular salt. (This is my favorite fried rice mix)



6. Once you have your fried rice, scoop it into a bowl or plate and place the scrambled eggs over it. Now it's ready to be eaten or serve.

Fruit Pizza

Bright colors to brighten up this cold and snowy weather; I'm ready for Spring!


Crust:
We used sugar cookie dough. We bought the Pillsbury pre-made cookie dough and spread it unto a baking pan. We used about 1/2 of a cookie dough log for the circle pan;
you can use more dough if you want. Baked the crust in the oven at 400 for
about 7-10mins depending on how thick your crust is.

 Cream:
We used one box (8oz) of cream cheese, powder sugar: 16 oz about 1 lb,
vanilla extract: 1 tsp, and butter: 1 stick or 8 tbl spoons.
Mix the ingredients in a bowl with an electric mixer until it becomes creamy.

Final Touches:
After the crust is done baking set it aside to cool down. Once cooled spread the cream over and decor it with slice fruits; you can use any fruits you want, I used strawberries, mango, and kiwi. You can eat/serve it right away or if you like it cool/cold you can put it in the fridge for a bit. (^_^)
