I try to prepare foods, on my days off, that I can bring to work for healthier choices as meals.
The ingredients:
4 cups of organic vegetable broth
2 cups of brown rice
1 shallot (I sometimes buy shallots when I feel I'll waste half an onion)
4 stalks of celery
4 large mushrooms
bag of snap peas
grapeseed oil
not pictured:
carrots and chicken breasts
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil, add the brown rice and return to a boil, then turn temperature down and simmer till the rice is fully cooked, fluff.
Add a tablespoon of grapeseed oil, or so, to a frying pan. I do not use no stick, so the little bit of oil is helpful. Keep the temperature low. Add sliced shallots, mushrooms and diced celery to the oil and cook on low till they are softened. Add rice. Usually at this point I add a raw egg, but unfortunately I opened my fridge and realized I used my last egg the other day. Unfortunate because it adds a nice texture and some protein. A good dose of my favourite China Lily soya sauce.
I bake chicken breasts in large quantity. Today I baked six with my cheat seasonings, Souvlaki seasoning from the Victoria Epicure company.
Raw carrots on the side, and I'm ready to eat.. except that I don't often feel like eating after cooking large quantities of food for some reason, so I'll eat later.
(I cannot promise quality photos until I purchase my new camera, since I have unfortunately damaged the screen of this camera. )

Do you put a beaten egg in over all the veggies, or do you scramble it on the side like for fried rice? I'm always interested in finding more ways to hide protein in my meals. :}
I put it in raw, sometimes I don't even beat it first, and then continue cooking till it's finished. It's nice because it coats the rice and veggies!
I think I'm going to like it here!
hi Kip! Welcome!
