Chicken Fried Rice

Ingredients
  • chicken, about 2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 Tbs sesame oil
  • 1 cube crushed garlic
  • 1 small white onion, chopped

  • 2-3 Tablespoons soy sauce (more or less to taste)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  1. Cook and shred the chicken. I highly recommend cooking it in a slow cooker in teriyaki sauce or water.
  2. Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat.
  3. Pour sesame oil in the bottom.
  4. Add white onion and veggies and fry until tender.
  5. Slide the mixture to the side, and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side. Using a spatula, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.
  6. Add the rice and chicken to the veggie and egg mixture.
  7. Pour the soy sauce on top.
  8. Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until heated through and combined.
  9. Add chopped green onions if desired.

4 Ingredient Meatloaf

Ingredients
  • 1 box Stuffing Mix (Original flavor works best)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup water (or a little more if your beef is super lean)
  • 1 Honey Crisp Apple, peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 Tbs ketchup + 2 Tbs packed brown sugar (for the topping mixture)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bread loaf pan
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together all of the ingredients
  3. Fill the pan with your meat mixture
  4. In a separate bowl mix together 2 Tbs ketchup + 2 Tbs packed brown sugar
  5. Spread the ketchup/brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf with the back of a spoon. (You can also use BBQ sauce, chili sauce or a combination of sauces.)
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes
  7. Enjoy! I'd wait a few minutes before slicing it up. Serve with mashed potatoes, veggies or anything thing else you'd like! Yum Yum in my Tum Tum.
Notes
Add anything else to the mixture that you happen to have on hand (onions, garlic, cheese, spices, herbs, etc.) This is the base recipe, and really all you need, but there's no harm in making it your way.

Also, I've seen this recipe made with 1/2 cup of milk in place of the eggs and water. Up to you!
