Vegetable Fried Rice and Hoisin Glazed Pork Chops

Vegetable Fried Rice: 

Pick any veggies you want! My family is not big bell pepper eaters so I go with broccoli, carrots, snow peas, onion, cabbage, ect. Cut in to strips or dice. 

2 cups cold cooked rice (I like Jasmine rice for this) but you can use any. 

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp cooking oil

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp onion powder 

2 tsp garlic powder 

1 tbsp dried parsley

1 tbsp black pepper

1 scrambled egg 

In large pan or wok, on medium high heat. 

Start cooking egg.

Add cooking oil to pan add vegetables that take longest to cook (thicker and firmer) cook for a bit. 

Add rest of veggies, all seasonings and rice. Cook till starts to brown stir and cook a bit more. 

Just keep thinking back to a Japanese steak house and how they do it ;-) 

Pork Chop :

Marinade in Teriyaki 

Cook on grill, searing each side 

Brush each side with hoisin sauce as it cooks though. 

Enjoy!

Easy Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing

A healthy twist on Chicken Parmesan

My kids love anything with Marinara on it, I'm trying to eat better and my husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. 

I had to think of something to please everyone. So I took 150 calorie pasta, chicken, spinach, and cheese and made a chicken Parmesan style pasta. 

How to:

Marinate 2 chicken breast in Italian dressing. Cut in to strips or leave whole your call. 

Skillet grilled till almost cooked through then put spinach and Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese on top. Threw under broiler for about 5 minutes. (Watch it though)

Serve over or with pasta and marinara sauce.  

My family really liked it even though it wasn't fried and had spinach! 

Enjoy!
