For my 7th Pinterest Project, I decided to make Healthy Fried Rice - which is in my Stuff to Eat board.
I originally ran across it at Stick A Fork In It.
Here's the recipe:
1 8.8-oz. uncle ben's package cooked brown rice (see picture)
1 16-oz. pkg. mixed frozen vegetables (peas, corn, green beans, carrots)
1 cup frozen peppers-and-onion stir-fry vegetables
4 tsp. canola oil, divided
3 eggs
3 Tbs. stir-fry sauce (i like the kikkoman brand)
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper (optional)
lime wedges (I left out, like Kristen at Stick A Fork In It did)
directions:
add stir-fry sauce and crushed red pepper to the skillet. stir in rice and heat through, then mix in the cooked eggs. squeeze lime juice on for extra flavor
My Review of the recipe: SOOOOO good!!! My older boys HATE vegetables. I mean they really fight me pretty much every night. We've had evenings spent with at least one kid crying on his placemat about 2 green beans. This healthy fried rice is more than half veggies - and they LOVED it! I told them to just eat a little, and if they didn't like it, they could have a sandwich. They filled their bowls up after one bite. I heard nothing but forks scraping and yummy noises. Yay! Victory for Mom!
