Admittedly, prior to having Zelda I never paid too much attention to what I was eating. With my busy work schedule, food on the fly is pretty much the norm. However, I’ve really been working to change this habit (but I still love Taco Bell!). Last week, I did a post about what egg labels mean and it was an eye-opening experience. I had no idea there were so many options and what those options meant for the way the chickens and hens were raised and how it effects the nutrients we put into our bodies. Not all eggs are created equal.
Zelda and I have a Chinese restaurant we like to frequent on the weekends. Almost every Friday Zelda exclaims, “Ma! I want rice!”, so I decided to try and make our own cauliflower fried rice spin at home. Zelda typically likes vegetables and honestly, this cauliflower looks so much like rice it is hard to tell the difference. There is a slight taste variation but overall it is very similar. I recommend pre-chopping the veggies so all you need to do is throw everything in the pan. Cutting up the vegetables is the most time-consuming part.
Creating this cloud shaped egg looks way more challenging than it is. Simply set the cookie cutter in the pan, crack the egg and allow it to cook. This is a no fuss way to kick dinner up a notch! It works wonders at breakfast time too. What is your go-to kitchen hack? Tell me the comments below.
