Chicken Fried Rice

A recipe from my very own mind! Granted, this is a universalish recipe, but hey. Here's how I did it! 
What you'll need: 
Rice, white or brown 
Pepper
(yellow lid) Mrs. Dash (or any other table blend seasoning)
(pictured) Garlic salt 
(not pictured) Garlic 
Soy sauce
Green pepper
Green onion
Red pepper
Mushrooms
Carrots, peeled and washed 
Yellow onion 

Give that onion a rough chop! 

Sautee. I added my onions waaaay too early so they shriveled up and disappeared by the time everything else was in the pan. I recommend adding them when more things are chopped so they don't shrivel and disappear...

Wash and peel the carrots. 


Add them to the pan! 



Rough chop the peppers and add them to the pan. Make sure you're constantly turning and folding the vegetables in the pan so they don't burn. 

Green onions! 

Garlic! (used instead of the garlic powder in the picture)

Mushrooms! 


All of it in the pan! It smells heavenly once the garlic is added. 
Chicken! (I used this recipe to make it. This is a god recipe for chicken. The chicken always comes out moist, delicious, and wonderful. This time I only seasoned with black pepper, garlic powder, celery salt because I didn't want the flavour of the chicken to be too overwhelming in the finished dish.) 

All the vegetables and chicken in the pan what what. 
While the vegetables were cooking, I was cooking the rice to add in at the end. 

RICE. Before this was added, I doused the vegetables with soy sauce, added the rice, then put soy sauce on the rice. It sounds like a lot, but it came out just right. It wasn't too salty, and I tried to use spices that didn't have salt in them. 

I hope you enjoy this! This recipe is so easy to vary: vegetables, seasonings, rice, meat, etc. Make it your own!! 

Ingredients: 
Chicken breast (I used tenders, about 5)
Whole crimini mushrooms, chopped
Green bell pepper, chopped
Red bell pepper, chopped
Green onion
Yellow onion 
Soy sauce
Pepper
Table blend spice 
Carrots 
Rice 
3 cloves garlic or garlic powder 

Directions: 
1. Chop all vegetables and add to the pan. I added them in this order: yellow onion, carrot, red pepper, green pepper, green onion, garlic, mushrooms. 
2. Cook until done. I judged this by the mushrooms. Once they turned that darkish brown colour, I turned the heat down to low. 
3. Cook rice. 
4. Season vegetables to taste with chosen spices. I really wanted cumin but made do with pepper and  a table blend of spices. (Just a really nice blend of various spices.) 
5. Add soy sauce to taste. 
6. Continue to cook while rice is finishing. 
7. Add rice. Add soy sauce to rice. 
8. Combine all ingredients! 

As always, let me know how yours turns out! I hope you enjoy this recipe! My family ate all of it, and in my house, that's such a good sign. 


Enjoy!

Coconut Chicken

Hey y'all. I'm still alive! I fall in and out of blogging, apologies. Today, I have a new recipe that we love in my house! It's coconut chicken, adapted from this coconut lime chicken recipe found here . Ingredients shown above: One yellow onion, diced 2 cloves of garlic, miced Coconut milk Tumeric Salt Pepper Black beans Coconut oil Rice Chicken thighs Not shown: chicken broth. First I warmed the coconut oil in the pan. My stove gets hot really quickly, so I tend to cut everything first. I use about this much. It's probably about a tablespoon and a half. I use a lot at one time for this because I don't end up adding more to the pan.  Diced garlic and onion. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on each side for about 3-5 minutes. The chicken won't be fully cooked when you remove it from the pan, but that's fine.  Here I've added the onion to the pan. Sauteed for about 2 m...

Bratwurst

Tonight for dinner we had brats. Simple, quick, easy. Unfortunately, I don't have any picture for you, but I think you'll find that these are easy to do on your own. Firstly, poke holes in them. You don't want them to explode on you as they heat up. They will, so make sure to poke holes on both sides! Forks are great for this. Next, I put my oven on broil. This heats them up quicker and cooks them faster. You're probably supposed to move the rack, but I don't. I generally leave the rack in the middle. This seems to work for me. I've found that all sides of the food cook evenly this way. I don't know. When I put it on broil, I set it on high. I think you can probably use a low setting, but I assume that this would take a bit longer. I don't use the broil setting very much. Once the sausages are in the oven, I cook them on each side about 8-10 minutes. You'll want to cut them open and check to make sure they're cooked all the way through befo...
