A little of this...

...a little of that...and you have a hearty, healthy meal for the family from left over bits from the fridge.  It reheats well for an on the go lunch at work.  Here’s how it goes...

oil

1 lg. sweet onion, diced

2 zucchini squash, diced

1 c. fresh mushrooms, chopped

1 bunch kale, chopped

1 T. garlic powder

1 t. salt

1 t. pepper

1/2 c. water if needed

3/4 c. rice, cooked

3/4 c. sliced almonds

1/4 c. cheddar/mozzarella cheese, shredded fine

Option:  cooked meat - ground beef, pork roast chopped

In a large fry pan, add oil and onions to start frying them until caramelized.  Add zucchini and mushroom stirring to coat with the oil as the onions continue to cook.  Toss in the kale, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Add a little water if it starts to seem dry.  Add in the rice, almonds and meat if that’s part of your plan.  When the vegetables are tender and the meat is heated through, sprinkle the cheese over all and serve.  That’s it - that’s all there is to it...

When I’m not staring into my fridge wondering what I will fix for dinner in a hot hurry while sticking with my healthy eating plan, I’m sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/topdrawerthreads .

Or I’m putting the finishing touches on crocheted throw rugs worked by me from torn strips of thrifted sheets for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers for summer fun and frolic.
