You can make up a batch of rice and freeze it serving single or double serving sized containers, until you're ready for it. It's makes it easier for those of us that are in a crunch for time. You can either re-heat in the microwave or soak in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
For this meal I just used some simple ingredients already in the fridge/freezer...
Brown rice, shrimp, baby carrots and yellow bell pepper, tossed up with 2tbls of olive oil.
1/2 bag of frozen green beans
1/2 bag of shrimp (tails removed)
1 single serving bag of baby carrots
1/2 bell pepper sliced
2tbls of oil
Heat skillet and add oil. Toss in sliced peppers, green beans and carrots. Cook until carrots are fork tender and add in your shrimp(you can use any meat you like at this point). Give a toss until shrimp are done 2-3min ....
Yes, I used my granddaughters baby carrots for this meal. Because they were the tiny carrots I wanted and I didn't have to cut up any carrots. It's all about saving time. Even if you don't have children or grandchildren you can still purchase the single servings for yourself. They are great for snacking and to add in your lunches, if you pack lunch for work ... Also you have to make the meals kid friendly. When they see you using their food items, they will be more incline to eat it. My grand daughter was like, "Grandma, are those my carrots you're using?"
She enjoys being able to help me shop and see, how the meals come together with what we've purchased.
<------ "Grandma are those my carrots you're using??"
Simplicity is the key to a happy healthy life. There's not always the need to cook up a large heavy meal, especially when you're hungry in a hurry ...
If your family is anything like mine, you'll make this meal several times over...
Please share and ENJOY! ♥
