Minute Meal Monday

Mondays are my least favorite day. Work is always miserable... except maybe every third Monday...just about every third Monday is pretty bearable for some reason. Not that I hate my job... I love my job.. but Mondays just suck.

This morning the kids missed the bus- we all got off to a late start and it just pretty much messed up my day. I really don't know how I got to work at all... I put on my sunglasses, pointed my Jeep in the general direction of my job and put my foot on the gas.

Chef has school on Monday nights and so it is always just me and the kids. They call me every five minutes until I get home from work wanting to know what is for dinner. Some days I break and tell them to eat Ramen noodles, or cereal, or a granola bar. No, really... I am not that kind of a mom...except sometimes...On Mondays. Ha.

So today I decide that we will have a quick meal.. and one that Chef is not crazy about... so I like to make it on HIS school nights so that he doesn't have to eat it.

EASY FRIED RICE


3 cups rice, prepared
1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cut into pieces
1 package frozen stir fry
1 white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
3 tablespoons sesame oil

Cooking Instructions:

1) Prepare rice according to package instructions to yield 3 cups cooked rice. ( I use boil in bag)
2) Heat sesame oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
3) Add onion, garlic, stir fry mix. Stir fry until tender.
4) Crack eggs into pan and scramble, mixing throughout vegetables.
