This is my new favorite done in 15 minutes meal (when I make my rice in the pressure cooker)! It tastes great, is kid friendly, and works for company as well. It’s this easy…

Cook Rice. While rice is cooking, cook meatballs. After meatballs are cooked toss and coat with bbq sauce and pineapple tidbits and warm through.

fried rice

This recipe is so good that I don’t even wait until I have leftover rice to make it! Sometimes, I’ll just pressure cook up some rice and serve it with pot stickers from Costco. So easy, so fun, and SO DELICIOUS!

FRIED RICE (Chinese Leftovers)

3 green onions cut on the diagonal thin (part tops too)
3 C Cold cooked rice
3 oz or 1/3 C Pork (or try for 1 Cup chopped left over meat about like ham, pork, chicken
1/2 C raw chopped shrimp-optional (If you use drained canned shrimp, decrease the salt)
left over cooked vegetables like peas and carrots (Optional)

3 Eggs, whisked (Sorry, no powdered egg conversion for this…it doesn’t work well)
4 T oil
1 T soy sauce

If using raw shrimp, dip in 1 tsp corn starch and fry in 2 T oil. Cook until done and remove from Wok or frying pan.
You may want to crisp other meat too.
Add the Eggs, Oil, and Soy Sauce and beat together. Add to hot wok, when it starts to set, add meat, rice, vegetables, 2 tsp salt, toss, add green onions, toss and serve.

Sunshine Crepe Filling-Freeze Dried Berry Food Storage Recipe

My all time favorite breakfast is crepes and hardly ever are the stars aligned where I have cream cheese and fresh strawberries for the ultimate filling….especially in the winter (sorry, I’m not usually in the mood to spend $2+ a pound for strawberries).  So, I came up with this filling.  It’s a close second in my book and actually, my husband liked it better than the fresh strawberries.  It has a nice “fresh” taste with a lot of combined fruit flavors and is really easy to whip up.  And of course, I topped it with some Raspberry Syrup-I wasn’t kidding when I said it was my new favorite!

crepeSunshine Crepe Filling

4 oz. cream cheese
1 1/2 T. orange marmalade (don’t worry, it doesn’t taste “marmalad-ey” it just helps to give the orange flavor)
1 T. sugar
1 medium banana
1 1/2 – 2 c. freeze dried strawberries (hydrate only half and add the other as dry)

Blend ingredients in blender.



I also know, that some people are very scared of making crepes because they seem hard, or maybe at least fragile to make. So I did a quickie (and I mean quickie) video of how to do it, check it out below!
