About Me

My goal is to organize the recipes I use so I can share them with family and friends as well as easily find my family's favorites. I try to use mostly natural ingredients to make homemade meals that are easy and delicious.

Traditional Meatloaf WW

New meatloaf recipe (from Amanda Talbert's recipe blog). I just leave the egg out and it's fine.

WW Points: 8 (for 1/5 of the loaf)

Chicken Fried Rice WW

This is a meal I used to make when I first started cooking for Paul and Tanner because it was cheap, easy, and they always liked it.

Chicken Fried Rice 
Cook enough white rice for your family. Meanwhile, cook chicken breasts (I cook 2 for the 3 of us) in a pan with salt and pepper and a little butter. Cut into cubes and set aside.

In the same skillet that you cooked the chicken, add 3-4 tablespoons of oil and 1/2 cup of chopped onion. Turn up to med-high heat.

While the oil is heating, add a bag of frozen mixed veggies (about 2 cups), cubed chicken, and soy sauce (4-5 tablespoons) to your cooked rice and mix. Add chopped or canned carrots and a cooked scrambled egg if you wish. Add the rice and veggie mixture to the skillet and pat it down to cover the bottom. Wait a good 5 minutes to flip it in order to achieve the good crispy bits. Add soy sauce as needed. Cook until it's crispy and heated through.

Sometimes I buy egg rolls from the freezer section and we eat those on the side.

WW points (without egg roll): 15 per 1 1/2 cups
