Fried Rice

This recipe does not replace the rice from our favorite restaurant, but it's good. Really good... and my kids love it so it's a keeper! I found it on Our Best Bites, and changed it just a little to fit our taste.


Ingredients:
6 cups cold cooked rice
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tbsp chopped green onion
1/4 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped carrot
4 tbsp soy sauce

Seasoning:
1 tbsp dried onion
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp celery salt
1 1/2 tps sugar

First mix the seasonings and put in an airtight container (note: it makes way more than you need... the first time I made this I used WAY TO MUCH). Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and saute onions and carrots until tender, then add garlic and saute for another 30 seconds. Next add rice and soy sauce and then season to taste.

Hmmm, what should I try to make next??? Maybe Lo Main?

Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis Resolutions... My resolution is always to lose weight... Always! I find it very difficult because I am a self diagnosed Chocoholic with a huge sweet tooth and no self control! True diagnosis, I swear!! My favorite place is my kitchen, and I find cooking to be very calming, so while I can't resolve to stay out of the kichen I can chose healthier recipes to prepair... At least in January ;o)  The theme at IHCC this week is Resolutions so I decided to find a healthy recipe to make and I saw Giada make the parmesan crisps on a show once and it kind of stuck in my mind, so when I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. Perfect! Pretty, don'tcha think!! Ingredients: For the Parmesan Frico Cups: 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan For the Citrus Vinaigrette: 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon orange juice 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon orange zest 1 teaspoon honey 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon
