My First Fried Rice

     Hi there! I love food. For a while there..I was learning how to create things in the kitchen. It's been hard lately because I've had less free time. The other day at work, I smelled the most amazing thing. It was my co-workers lunch. After 5 minutes of telling her how amazing it looked and smelled, she offered me a bite. It was her version of fried rice, with vegetables and tofu. It inspired me to create my own.

Brown Rice-Scrambled Eggs-Green Beans-Minced Onions- Olive Oil- Curry- and Sea Salt

     It's comforting to know that the food you're eating tastes good...but let's take it a step further and make that same meal flavorful and healthy at the same time! Below are health benefits of each main ingredient in my recipe. Keep in mind, moderation is key (I say this over and over again) Just because there is soy sauce in my healthy fried rice..doesn't mean that you should drink soy sauce. K-glad we understand that.

      You may be wondering why there is no meat in this dish. I've been trying to limit my meat intake. No, I am not a vegetarian, but I have found that there are other sources of iron and protein..and it's fun to explore! 

     Make this dish-it tastes good. K bye!
