Shrimp Fried Rice

4 cups cooked rice
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen carrots
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 large sweet onion, chopped (= a little over a cup)
1 bag frozen salad shrimp (= about a cup and a half)
3 eggs
4 green onions
1/4 cup soy sauce
white pepper
black pepper
sesame oil
butter
1 tablespoon mayonnaise


The rice should be cooked the day before, but I always forget. If you can, cook the rice before you're ready to cook the meal then let sit, stirring occasionally to get rid of the moisture.

Heat a large, deep pan. Add a tablespoon of butter and the carrots. While the carrots are cooking chop the onion.

Add the onion to the pan and stir into the carrots. While those are cooking, dump the shrimp into a colander and run under cold water to thaw. When the onion starts to turn translucent add the peas, corn, and a dash of sesame oil to the pan and stir.

Once the peas and corn are cooked (it takes just a couple minutes), add the shrimp to the pan. Cook until the shrimp starts to curl (again, just a couple of minutes).

Add the rice, soy sauce, mayo, a couple shakes of white pepper and a generous helping of black pepper. Stir constantly or the rice will burn to the bottom of the pan. Once the rice is heated through turn off the heat.

In a small pan, scramble the eggs and cut into tiny pieces. Stir into the rice. Taste test and add extra soy sauce and pepper as desired. Chop the green parts of the green onions and stir into the rice.

easy pot roast dinner, plus calories

Ingredients:
Hormel beef roast au jus (630)
1 Onion (45)
4 mushrooms (it could use more mushrooms) (30)
Most of a bag of baby spinach (it could use a whole bag of baby spinach) (20)
At least three tablespoons of sour cream (75)

I love Hormel beef entrees. It's really quality beef and it tastes delicious, and you can mix it with literally anything. I use it in my beef stroganov and it makes fucking fantastic stroganov in like 10 minutes. Last night I wanted something a little different, so here we are:

Heat the pot roast in a deep pan according to the package instructions. While that's heating, thinly slice the onion. Add the onion to the pan. Slice the mushrooms, and a couple minutes before the beef should be done, add it and the spinach to the pan and stir. Once the meat finishes its cooking time, turn off the heat and add the sour cream. Stir everything together and let cool for a couple minutes.

I like to eat it over a baked potato. 1/3rd of the meat dish is a serving, and funnily enough it goes perfectly over 1/3rd a baked potato. Bake the potato in the microwave. Once it's done cut it into three pieces, then roughly chop the piece you're going to eat. Top with 1/3 of the roast and veggie dish.
