frozen scrambled egg kits

We are not morning people. But we really like breakfast. Which means that most work mornings are rushed.

I created these to help streamline breakfast prep. Really all they are is ingredients that we like to put in scrambled eggs, divided into baggies and frozen.

These include:

onions

mushroom

peppers

sausage/ham

spinach/kale

I use the food processor to chop everything quickly, unless I'm in a meditative mood and then I chop by hand.

When we're ready for a hearty breakfast, we toss the contents of a frozen bag into a hot pan, let everything cook for a few minutes, then add eggs and scramble.

Ooh, I should add potato to the next batch.

Note: if you want to add cheese, wait until the very end.

Sheet pan chicken and broccoli

My go-to dinner for when I'm busy, tired, worn out, cranky, etc = a sheet pan lined with foil + meat + veggies. 

This version had:

chicken thighs + ground thyme, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper

frozen broccoli + a spray of olive oil, salt, and pepper

Baked at 350 for 30 minutes. Or until the chicken is 165.

The broccoli cooks in the chicken juices and also gets a little charred on top... so good.

gluten free beer and stir fry

Sitting here drinking a beer and eating some delish stir-fry with a kick.
Life's good.

I read about this beer, Redbridge (made from sorghum), from gluten free goddess [link to the right]. It's not bad! I prefer the taste of the darker beers but this is pretty good for the first beer I've drank in a while.

And... I'm in love. With stir-fries, that is. I've never made stir fry and I am amazed at how quick and easy it is to whip up a hot yummy meal. I heated up a dab of oil in a pan, threw in some frozen "stir fry" veggies, stirred every once in a while, stuck a dab of La Choy Teriyaki sauce and poured it over rice. Bam. Dinner. I am going to have fun experimenting with this. It won't be that hard to add some meat to it, either.

Time to finish my beer and do the dishes.
