Fusion Rice Bowl

So my favorite thing to do when I am home sick is make comfort food. If I feel up to it. Today I didn't really feel up to it but I wanted something yummy and comforting for lunch, sooooo......

Here is what I did. 

Ingredients:

1 boxed rice/vermicelli mix, I used the fried rice flavor

2 tablespoons butter

2 cups water

4-5 bunches of kale or your fave green, chopped

1 pouch of tuna, unflavored

2 teaspoons soy sauce

2-3 teaspoons Balsamic Vinegar of Modena 

Fresh ground pepper to taste

1 tablespoon Avocado Oil

1 egg, beaten

Prepare the rice according to the package. 

To the prepared rice, add the chopped kale. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water absorbed. May take a little longer depending on the water content in your kale. 

Add the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, tuna and pepper. 

Move rice mixture to the side, add the avocado oil to the pan and your beaten egg. Scramble egg until firm and break up into your rice mixture. 

Add more soy sauce and balsamic vinegar to your taste. Serve in a bowl and enjoy!

Simple Fruit Salsa

I threw a Tupperware party at my house the other day and wanted to make something with the Simply Salsa. My Tupperware lady was already going to make regular salsa with one of her awesome gadgets. Hello my name is Valerie and I am a kitchen gadget addict. I digress. So if you have been following the blog for awhile you know that I LOVE to throw together things on the fly and then try to remember the recipe later if it actually works well. This is one of those times. This was just soooo good. Below is the super simple recipe. You can use almost any fruit you have. 

Ingredients for what I did:

1 bag of smoothie fruit, partially thawed

2 apples, peeled or unpeeled

1 banana

Mango Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

Simply Salsa Mix

Sea Salt

In a blender or food processor blend the frozen fruit leaving it somewhat chunky. Pour into a mixing bowl. Core and quarter your apples. Blend them with the banana leaving it somewhat chunky. Add to the mixing bowl. 

Add 2 Tbsp of the Mango Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and 3 Tbsp of the Simply Salsa Mix plus a couple of grinds or a dash of sea salt. Mix well and chill for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla or pita chips.  Let me know what you think!
