Chinese Fried Rice with Veggies

I love Chinese food but I don’t get the chance to get it very often. I have a few different stir fry recipes but I needed a good recipe for fried rice. Well, it took me a little while but I came up with one that the whole family enjoys. This could almost be a meal in itself.

We like to eat this with the Japanese White Sauce. It’s probably not the healthiest thing in the world but we don’t eat it very often. Also, check out my recipe for Easy Fried Noodles. This is also a great freezer meal!

S’mores

Who doesn’t love a campfire with and roasting marshmallows? We try to have a ‘Weenie Roast‘ every few months and let the kids roast their hot dogs and marshmallows on a stick. They love it!

We also do this at least one night when we go camping. I am so ready to go right now! S’mores are the best when you take a freshly roasted marshmallow from the campfire but you can also make them in the microwave if you don’t happen to have a campfire handy.

Mom’s Oven Stew

I have seen several variations of this recipe. I try to add whatever vegetables are hiding in the fridge to this when I make it.

This one does take a little time to make so be sure to start it with enough time to get it finished before dinner! I usually start this while the kids are down for naps.

I did make this in the crockpot and it turned out great! I cooked it on low for 6-7 hours and everything was delicious, not to mention the aroma in the house was very enticing. Continue reading “Mom’s Oven Stew”
