Egg Flippin' Fun

Thought I'd try this out. If I can do it, anyone can!

Ramen lunch

This is pretty similar to the Ramen Fried Rice I posted a while back, just a bit more simple.

Ingredients

Ramen Noodles

Broccoli, steamed or pan fry

Eggs, scrambled

Again, like last time, very simple. Cook the noodles like you would for Top Ramen. Strain them if needed.  In the meantime, scramble your eggs and cook your broccoli however you prefer. Throw it all in together and add sauces of your choosing. We like to have a wide variety of asian sauces. Soy sauce, of course, but more exciting ones. Black Bean and Garlic, Hoison, General Tsao, and many others. They're not too expensive and they last a while. We think they're worth it because they can really spice up the meals and make them taste great!

 

You can easily spice this up with other ingredients that you like. I remember, this kind of reminded me of Chow Mein because it was noodle heavy, which I love. You could get very creative with any other ingredients to suit the tastes of your eaters. :)

French Fries

We made these a while ago. I'm always interested in finding different and yummy ways to eat those potatoes. I know I posted another french fry recipe a while back. Last time I didn't have a real specific recipe, but this time I do. The flavor was really yummy, and depending on how you cut them, the cook time will differ, so just be aware.

Ingredients

1 large baking potato

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).  Cut potato into wedges. Mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder and onion powder together. Coat potatoes with oil/spice mixture and place on a baking sheet.  Bake for 45 minutes in preheated oven.

I put mine on foil to ease the mess clean-up, althought that might also change exactly how they bake. Like I said, you'll just have to be aware. The thinner the fry, the faster they bake and vice versa. But the flavor is really yummy and easy to alter depending on your tastes.

Homegrown Green Beans

These are just some green beans from the garden we have at my in-laws. I'm not a big green bean eater, and certainly don't know exactly what to do with fresh garden vegetables. I'm still learning. The only ones I really remember eating from childhood are corn on the cob. And that is pretty obvious as to preparation. Anyhow, For those like me who don't really know what to do with fresh stuff like this, this is what I did.

 After washing my freshly picked beans, I prepped a pan by melting butter, and then popped my green beans in the pan. Stir fried vegetables always taste good to me. Maybe top with a little bit of salt. Nothing fancy. You can also steam fresh veggies for a fresh, crisp taste. I'm super new to this, but wanted to open the arena for fresh grown foods.

What is your favorite way to prep garden veggies?
