quick and easy rice dish

 The only reason I'm sharing this 
is because my oldest who since forever has been such a picky
 eater LOVES this dish! I mean he wants seconds!
 Tears and tears I haved cried when he was a toddler, he lived off of bread and milk!!! 
He's 13 now and much much better but still won't eat everything and won't try new things. 

Marko: Where did you find this recipe?

Me: I just made it up.

Marko: can you make this once a week?

Me: I can make it whenever you want!! (happy dance)

This is so easy and quick. I read somewhere that you can cook rice and keep it in the fridge for up to a week so cooking a big pot of rice and having it ready is great for busy days.

I basically saute some onion (one onion to be exact, you can throw in some garlic too but I didn't have any at the time) with olive oil.

I added some turkey that I cut up into chunks (you can absolutely leave out the meat), cook them until they are no longer pink.

For my seasoning I used some sea salt, dried parsley and tumeric.

I always have a bag of frozen peas, carrots and corn so I added that and cooked for a few more minutes (doesn't take long). I then stirred in my brown rice and there you have it...so easy and you can add whatever you want really but no matter how much of this I make there's never enough...all 3 of my kids (and hubby) ask for seconds.

in the mood to bake + more painting

Hello!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!!

I have to admit I didn't do much baking over the summer and with Fall here I find myself in the mood to do some baking! As usual I turned to Pinterest for ideas and recipes....here are a few that caught my eye!

Over the weekend my hubby tacked another piece of furniture and did a fantastic job...again! :) He did the same (and used the same brand paint) with this piece as the boys little cabinet.

Again sorry for the crummy photos! :(

We also bought new hardware and it made all the difference! I wasn't planning on buying new hardware but when we were in Bauhaus buying the paint I spotted these and so glad I did! :)
