"Fried" Rice

2 beaten eggs or egg whites
2-3 cloves of minced garlic
4 scallions
1 TBSP minced ginger
3/4 C red, yellow, or orange diced bell peppers
1/4-1-2 C shelled edamame
1/2 C corn
4 C brown rice or white rice
6 oz (about half a package) of firm tofu cut into bite size pieces
3-5 TBSP low sodium soy sauce depends on how seasoned you like the rice

* To make it easier you could add a frozen bag of mixed veggies instead.

Saute garlic, ginger, and scallions until fragrant and soft (takes about 2 minutes). Add in the pepper, corn, edamame,tofu, and rice cook until warm and then make a hole in the middle of the rice mix. Pour the egg in the hole and cook until almost cooked then mix egg mix/scrambled egg in with the rest of rice mixture. Add the soy sauce and mix in . Serve Warm

sweet potato,sausage, and cider soup. mmmmmm.

1 Box of chicken stock (3-4 cups)
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans ( a few recipes I found online used black beans instead- we may try that)
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 lb- 1lb Cooked chopped sausage or even chicken chunks. We did lean turkey sausage.
1 large or two small sweet potatoes chopped in small cubes
1-2 cups apple cider (or apple juice- or half the concentrate)

you could also add carrots- or any other veggies.

Let it all simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft and tender. about 15-25 minutes.
