Fried Rice

When requesting this dish always make sure you are running it together really fast with a slight turn of the "R" like this... frydrys. Got it? Good.

So, for my first food post you will see just how simple my style of cooking is. Maybe as I continue the blog we will be able to branch out a bit but for now... Wha! La! This is a beginner's recipie blog FOR SURE!

The ingredients:

*RICE- of course

*Half cube of Butter or Oil- I tend to lean towards the butter side, always!

*Peas- preferrably frozen in available

*Scrambled eggs- about 4

*Cubed ham

*Any and all other crazy things happen to sound yummy at the time.. ex: sprouts, water chestnuts, green onions, etc. etc. etc.

I, unfortunately didn't have any of the optional ingredients, heck, I didn't even have frozen peas. SO, we do what we can right? That's the great thing about this recipie, you can always make it work with whatever happens to be on hand.

Step one- Cook the rice

If you are a super beginner cook like myself you will mix up the 2:1 ratio for the rice, end up with scorched rice and start over again. I don't recommend it because your hubby might have to call his mom to laugh about it at your expense. That's all right, it's all in good fun with "frydrys".

Step two- Add rice to melted butter and start to fry, adding ingredients as you see fit.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with soy sauce and ENJOY!

P.S. I'm not lovin' the picture today. Canned peas not only lack the nice flavor of frozen, but they also lack color- makes for kind of a dull shot. Just pretend there are happy, bright green peas in there and it will look much more appetizing.

WELCOME!

Since I've become a stay at home mom, I've decided to take on some new learning opportunies. I've always been excited by new things so this blog is my venue to learning my latest skill- Cooking! (With a little photography included)

When I first married my husband seven years ago I had ZERO I mean ZERO skill in the kitchen. I was known to burn everything- including just plain water. I was also quoted to have said "you can make pancakes without bisquik?" and will never live it down. However, now that I have 2 mouths to feed in addition to my own, my own kitchen and a computer full of cooking tips I am ready to tame the beast of Man's hunger.

We do face some dietary ristrictions that have become a challenge to cooking so this will be an adventure. For those of you who visit this blog you may notice a lack of onions, peppers, pinapple, and a few otherwise widely used ingredients. Just so you know, it's on purpose.

SO, without further adieu- WELCOME and Enjoy!
